I absolutely love the new bulbs, they're so much brighter than OEM and I know there is still time for the bulbs to burn in so if this is what they look like in the beginning, I can only imagine how bright they will be when they are fully burnt in!

I run these bulbs on my 2014 GS too and they are about 20% brighter than oem by my estimation. Also they are much more closer to my OEM led fogs so now they match perfect!

Osram has an online tool to make sure that your lights are genuine. Just used it after I bought a pair of Night Breaker Unlimiteds.

How's yours? Mine is not as bright as my OEM, plus my OEM bulbs are more blue than the new ones. Thinking switch it back to OEM, wasting $130 for nothing

did you break in the bulbs? They do get a bit brighter and whiter after 30-50 hours

I'm still waiting on my bulbs to arrive, I do have a question. For those that did this, did any of your have to get the headlights realigned? Or was it good even after the install? My reasoning is, when we install the bulbs we might have pull/push on the housing to get the bulbs plugged/unplugged and that can cause it to go out of alignment.

Thanks!

Thank you, I am assuming yours is the luxury package?
My orignal HID headlights most defiantly do not match my LED fog lights. Would you say the fog lights are a lot "bluer" than the headlights?

It took about 3 weeks for it to come. Yes it's genuine, there is a checker that you can use too on the osram site.
