Default HELP! Problem With PIAA Xtreme White High Beam Lights

First of all I have PIAA Xtreme White regular low beams. Look great, nice hyper white look. Mimicking the HID lights very well I think. Paid a good $90 for them. Then I spent another $80-90 for the Xtreme White high beams and had them installed.

Well for some reason when I have the high beams on, they look HORRIBLE. The high beams look YELLOW. Maybe not completely yellow the way that the stock headlights were; but an off-white type of color. I mean nowhere near as bright as the low-beam Xtreme White color.

Anything I can do to make the colors match? The bulbs are completely the same.

HELP!

EliteAccord: I could have gotten 2 pairs of Sylvania Silverstar lights for $60?

Where would one find them? And are they as hyper-white looking as the PIAA Xtreme Whites?

Lemme know man. Becuase $60 isnt bad for 2 pair if they look good, and they high-quality.

Other than the fact that they match, which is a better bulb?

PIAA Xtreme White or Sylvania Silverstars. I have heard PIAAs cannot be beat.

Anyway to get the lights I have to MATCH!

i forgot the place, but it's a good website. they have them for $20 each, and a $10 rebate on a pair. so ... 4 bulbs for $60

Anyone had this problem with their PIAA high beams? I keep looking at the them the way the that the low beams dont match the high beams. Makes me so mad.

Hmm.. I have PIAA 9005's, high and low, and neither of them are yellow at all.

I spent about $70 on them too... Where'd you get yours from?
