whats really cool, is the original. the way that you can see the actual projector blub. the hid blub hides behind the screen and pretty much useless, better to just get a white blub.
I suspect you're having a yellowing problem because your aftermarket bulbs are running hotter than stock. Yellowing can come from either that or UV degradation of the plastic or both.

The HID upgrade system should actually run cooler than halogen bulbs and be less prone to yellowing.
