So the color-mod will only be seen at the "top" of where the light cuts off and where the beam hits the ground? Also, at the occasional angle where it "flickers", right?
Basically, I love OEM HIDs. I don't like ricey-colored lights from cheap "HID" bulbs. I don't count anything without a ballast as real HID. I want the purest white light, which is what OEM delivers. I don't want opposing traffic to see my headlights and think what I have is not OEM HID.
Did that make sense?

The color "flicker" commonly seen from OEM HID projectors is the color we are talking about. For foreground light color, it's strictly dependent on the color temperature of the bulb. For example, you won't see color flickering from a HID kit civic. HOwever, you will see flickering with a retrofitted Civic, and many times more if the projectors have been color modded.
Ideally, you want a bulb that projects as much white light as possible, since that creates the most amount of visible light to the human eye, while flickering is a nice add on. In the past, color modding has been associated with a decrease in light output, but not with CMS2.
Hope this clears it up.
