I got the 5W AE's from John (brabus) and they do tend to look a little greenish in the reflections of my car in the cars ahead of me (yes, I check my car's reflections out EVERY chance I get LOL ). But when I look at them, they look white-white-white, like KKK (not PC? Sorry - I'm white, its ok ). But yeah, seriously, mine look white and show up slightly blueish in pics. I think this may be a sign that the bulbs are close to burning out or maybe just a defective set. Are they both "green" like that?

BTW what kind of AE's are you using?

lol same here i always check my reflection, and both of the outer rings are greenish and both the inner rings are white (in pics and in person). at first i thought it might have just been my eyes or that only i would notice it cause i look at them 24/7 but just recently i was showing them to a friend who hadnt seen them and he asked if they were multicolored... and they are from trinity

ha! There's your problem right there hahaha - next time use John (member brabusw209amg).

But in all seriousness, I don't think this is the correct color - try to contact the seller and see if he wants to maybe give you any type of input on this. I personally would definitely speak to them and see about a replacement. Or even if they at least tell you "this is normal" - that's already a step in the right direction.

Was told that due to the colour of the reflector to the outer rings it will cause greenish colour as in my set as well...
