Default Need info: I just changed my MH bulbs

My Ushio 10K bulbs were getting old, so thought I should change them out now. I had brand new hamilton 10K bulbs, that came with the fixture so I put them in.

WOW ARE THEY YELLOW!!! Compared to the Ushio's of the same K, they are so much more yellow. Just wondering how long of a burn in does an average bulb take, I don't want to take them out if they will whiten up. But if they stay this way, well then I just can't do it.

Any input is appreciated.
