Default Philips Ultinon 6000K Review

So I'm making this thread in-case others have questions to help them choose the best option. I have had these for about a month, I hated them at first but as they are burning in the light output is becoming a whole lot better than at first, that was my mistake I forgot I had to let them burn in. The visibility at night is pretty good not Acura good, but good enough that I can see the entire road. I'm comparing these to my Toshiba D4S bulbs that came stock and the Xenon Depot 5K D4S. Although the Xenon Depot was good and looked great the distance wasn't as far as the Philips Ultinon. They do not match the LED DRL's they are off so if that is a turn off for you at all then I would pass and go with the Xenon depot 5K bulbs as they match the DRL's. The light output covers three lanes of highway and the wooded area as well. I have Pics and i will provide a better one when I get the chance tonight of the Philips.
These are the Xenon Depot 5K

Best I could get but the color and the visibility is pretty good.

I can agree with this review. I had mine in my 3GS and removed them before selling that car. I was very happy to see the 4GS bulbs were exactly the same size/type. I love when you turn them on, and they're that deep purple color until they fully heat up. Looks cool.

Yep looks amazing. Glad I didn't send them back.

Depending on the contrast between the HIDs and LED fogs I might pick up a pair of the 6k low beams. Speaking of Acura, I just returned a '13 TSX and man that cutoff. I didn't realize how fun these cars are to drive. It was great.

Although I have a 2GS I can also vouch for the Philips Ultinion Bulbs. Mine are 5k but I still love them, they're great.

Pretty sure I got mine from Nigel. He ran a group buy a couple of years ago, and I hopped on that.
