Glow Plug Question
Are the tips of new Motorcraft glow plugs “blued”? I purchased a set from Amazon and they arrived with blue/oxidized tips.
The glow plugs were also stamped “BERU GERMANY 42C 0 100 226 138 11V”. Does that seem correct?

That is pretty close to what mine looked like in December of 2019 when I installed a set. Also, if you bought the GP's when they were sold and shipped by Amazon and not a third party seller, your chances of getting genuine GP's are excellent.

I would worry if you got a GP that wasn't tested. In other words, quality control smokes them blue before they are packaged, Kind of a go, no go type of thing,
Numbers look good as well as the plugs. Have confidence. My two sets were identical.

I think GP’s hit 1800*F in 2 seconds. The discoloration is from testing.
For fun, use jumper cables to power up an old GP. Be aware I’ve seen some blow up - so use extreme caution if you try this.
