I also have a 2004 E60. I bought my MTEC v2 AE from John "brabusw209amg". They look pure white (6000K). My stock Xenon headlight is softer white (4300K). When looking at the front of the car at night, the AE definitely look whiter than the Xenon. That's OK, I like that the AE stand out from the headlight.

My AE are definitely not green.

Just went downstairs and looked at mine. At least when I just turn them on, they have absolutely no green in them. Purest white AE's I've ever had btw

As for Chinese market, it pulled a pretty nice reversal

LOL. Vlad is actually green!

If the reflection looks green, you may want to buff out ur headlight lens. The lens may actually have a green color itself not the actual rings.

Spoken by someone who knows a thing or two about auto lighting.

ICE V3 will not do this, you have a faulty unit that isn't putting out enough power/light.

Mine look the same. I have some cheap chinese LEDs off ebay (7500K or 8000K), until I get hold of a used set of AiBs.

I think this is just the colour that the cheapest bulbs have. MTec and AiB etc all have white or slightly blue (on pics) colour, but they are higher quality and much more expensive.

Don't know how much you paid for your set, but I would say $50 is the max for these.
