Default The Philips Ultinon 6K

So after a couple of months I can finally say that these bulbs are pretty darn good. I love these bulbs and although expensive are worth the money as they are good on visibility and distance. Here is a pic in the country they have good range and don't look very blue if anything they look more white with a small hint of blue.

No fogs and it is that bright? Wow. I am impressed. But that is very expensive though.

Not really, but the LEDs run at reduced power when the lights are on.

Yes I did aim it higher but that's about it. You really need to let them burn in, I was about to return these when I got them, I totally forgot I needed to let them burn in. I have and they have come out great.
