Installed Philips Ultinon 6000K low beams, XD 6000K Fogs and Putco 360 LEDs (updated)
I finished my light upgrade today.
1) Philips Ultinon 6000K D4S low beams
2) Philips Crystalvision Ultra high beams/DRL
3) Putco 360 194 LEDs
4) Xenon Depot 6000K Volt Digital fogs
It looks great. The 6000K looks fantastic. Also the Philips Ultinon bulbs are amazing. I do not notice any loss of brightness relative to the OEM Philips Xeneco bulbs, as others have reported with third-party bulbs. In fact I find it easier to see because the light is so white.
The Philips high beams change the DRL from being yellow with a bit of white to being white with some yellow, but still not white like Passnu2's MTEC bulbs. They are really solid bulbs though and I expect they will last.
The parking lights have a clear blue tint - looks like 8000K not 6000K. When you look at the putcos lit up on their own they are pure white. But once mounted inside the high beam lense, it appears blue. I am not sure if this is just that the lense makes it look blue, or whether the Philips Crystalvision Ultra high beams are distorting the Putcos because those bulbs have light blue glass. Would love thoughts on that?
I'm beginning to like the blue tint of the parking lights. May leave it like that. It looks very Sci-Fi

Looks nice man! How did you end up mounting the ballasts? Also, regarding the parking lights. I found that using the same exact bulbs that are used in the perimeter lighting (under the mirrors) give the parking lights a perfect, subtle white... The lens themselves are a very light blue, but when lit, they are white.. I believe PIAA makes the same bulb, but I just had my bro pick me up another set from the dealer. See the pics below...

I updated the iPhone pics I took yesterday, with new pics I took with my Leica tonight. These capture the image better, although it's pretty much impossible to capture lighting with a camera!
