Default Osram Xenarc HID Bulbs

Hey Everyone,

One of my stock headlights went out for good the other day and I have been looking online for replacements. I'm on Xenon Depot looking at the Osram Xenarc CBI 5000k bulbs and I was wondering if anyone else has gone with these and your opinion on them (visibility, color, value, etc). They are priced at $169.99.

I have seen Garax 6000k for about $100 on ebay but it seems like Osram might be a bit better quality?

Also - are there any coupon codes for CL members on Xenon Depot?

Yes, I have them and like them. Bought them because I wanted an OEM-quality replacement, a bit whiter than stock but just as bright, and that's exactly what I got.

I have them as well, at first I was disappointed that they weren't as white as the ones on my TSX but now with a month or two of use and they're good.

Should always wait for them to break in before you judge the color of the bulbs. Most bulbs start out yellower before they reach their true color.
