So as it says I purchased the Philips Utilnon 6k bulbs and just wondering for others that have purchased it, does it get brighter cause I feel my other lights were brighter than these.

These are the bulbs.

The OEM bulbs put out more light, no way around that. Thats my concern with upgrading to the 5000k Ultinons.

Can you post some pics?

This was the best photo I could get I think I need to raise the lights up not sure, I tried and I don't think I did anything.

IMO the other bulbs have a better output, but these look slightly brighter. i'd switch back to the other ones.

Light output looks pretty good to me, hard to tell from a picture probably...so you felt the XD 5000s were a lot brighter? How did you feel when you went from the OEM bulbs to the 5000s?

I thought the output was pretty good when switching to the 5k but to these it felt very different, like I lost visibility.

how are these compared to Garax? My garax looks dim and is thinking of switching over to these

the lumens on the 6000K are not good, that's why it seems you lost visibility. lumens on the OEM 4300K are the best, 5000K not as good in the lumens dept. but much better than the 6000K.

Am I the only one that thinks the the OEM HIDs match the LED DRLs perfectly?

Lol ok I wanted to make sure I'm not crazy! Now trying to match the fogs is a PITA ...

I got both the Philips Ultinon 5K & 6K and didn't like them both color and lumens output so I put back the stock bulbs.

The stock HID and LED DRL are match perfectly well at least 95%, the new '14 OEM LED fog lights are not match in term of color, they're look between 4800 - 5000K range but will match perfectly well if you get the stock LED headlights which is very nice but pricey, also the LED headlights doesn't have AFS which is standard in Lux package, only self leveling. I'm happy running stock bulbs with '14 LED fogs and done matching them until the next 5GS which will pretty come standard with LED all around and maybe matrix Laser headlight. :-P

Now if you guys found a way to match them all together without paying a premium please don't hesitate to share it here. :-D

I'm leaning towards just keeping the stock bulbs.
