Question on PIAA 520s

[Paraphoe]

I want to get a pair of 520s for my 97 X. I found them on eBay for a good price, however, the ones I want, the Black Ion Crystal, are said by a seller on eBay to give off yellow light. Is this true? I don't want a yellow light- I'm looking for white light. If it's true that these 520s give off yellow light, it's the lense causing the coloring, correct?

I want the black to match my grill guard/bugshield, so I don't wanna get the chrome 520s, just FYI.

Please let me know...Thanks guys.

All 520s are yellow. The 520 SMR are not.
Look at: www.piaa.com

I just wanted to add that I have a set ot black 520 ion yellow in a driving pattern, and I think the are one of the best light ever made. I am running 100watt bulbs in them and I never get flashed, and I can see GREAT in ANY weather. I would tell any one looking for good all weather lights to get the ones I have!!
