Yes you bought a cheap (design wise) Chinese kit. Color shift for a brand-new bulb means the bulb's capsule it on its way out. Short of getting AMP to D2S adapters and getting Phillips OEM Xenon bulbs, I suggest you contact the seller (provided your kit is still in warranty) and get the bulbs changed out.
