what the hell are you talking about? No they aren't, they are standard halogen bulbs. The only reason they may seem remotely yellow is because they emit no light.

I attempted this last spring but the ebay 880/884 or whatever the bulb is doesn't fit in the projector housing at all. I attached them temporarily just to see if it would even look good though. If you can find another kit with bulbs that actually fit then let me know.
Bulb is far to long to fit in foglight projector.
Mock up pictures (low beams are stock because I wouldn't ever just slap an HID kit into stock reflector housings).

they are not yellow.. it just seems like it cause they are so dull and not bright... just like 90% of other cars on the road... get a new glass housing and that would change a lot....
btw, for you guys wanting new fogs and dont wanna lay down big bucks..
autozone and advance both have some nice sets for cheap.. i would def. check it out... they have some as cheap as 15 bucks.. some go up to 50 bucks... they have two sets that would fit camaros PERFECTLY.. one is a blueish tint, and one is a yellowish...
i dont have a bumper support so no longer have my fogs.. i bought a pair for 25 bucks and love them..

from the lighting faq
# Halogen filaments naturally produce a color of 2300K to 4000K (2300K is yellowish, 4000K is whitish) Anything bluer requires the use of light-dimming color filters
# HID produces a natural color of 4100K to 6000K (4100K is daylight white, and 6000K is slightly bluish white) Anything bluer requires the use of light-dimming color filters
Maybe it's the bluish hue of the 6000K that makes the TA headlights seem yellowish. And ya your right they aren't very bright.
