quick question about HIDs

I changed to 6000k hid from stock on my 07 e92. and i bought yellow tint film to get a GT look. I put them on and they looked great during the days. After the sun was down, I went on road and I realized that the out put color was Golden yellowish GREEN. so I thought about it and figured out 6000k has a hint of blue and yellow + blue makes greenish affect. So if i change it back to stock HID which is 4300k (no hint but white) is it going to be pure yellow?

If yes, im willing to sell my 6000k d1s bulb for cheap only had about 2 weeks and +@ until I change them back to stock.

Just quick question!

Why not just get 3000K bulbs that are yellow then? BTW im not the HID police here, but I know a few buddies of mine that had problems with yellow lights as headlights from the cops. Just putting that out there.

really? I saw those with 3000k hid/angel eye set up pic from this post and thought it would look great but i didn't want to buy another $80 bulbs for it, I did a lot of research about the headlight laws and 25290 something stated that headlight would be WHITE or YELLOW. (does this yellow means as halogen yellow? not 3000k?)
