Oh ok, I ordered the shim kit with lenses as well as the LED fog light kit. Going to be quite the light show in the front hopefully.

I'll log the entire process and make a thread about it once I am done. Probably will do it next weekend long as all my stuff shows up.

Had a spare minute last night so threw in the bulbs, will do the lenses this weekend probably. All I can say is it's nearly night and day from my old Osram 66440 bulbs. Worth every penny.

Haha sorry, I will snap a few pics. I ended up accidentally draining my damn battery leaving my lights on so long testing everything out. I threw the fogs in as well. Jumping the car made me lose my motivation to go out and take pics lol.

Confused. What did you use before and what are you using now? - to be clear. Because the CBIs are from Osram 66440 as well. Or were your old ones 66440 but non CBI?

Just got some of the Osram CBI for my s2k. Need it to stop snowing and being so cold in the garage so I can install/see the difference from my OEM bulbs. Still not sold on upgrading the crappy Lexus ones.

CBI is just the color, correct?

I would think so. It's just if he went from 66440 non CBI to 66440 CBI and the difference is big, then going from the OEM bulbs to CBIs should be a really good improvement.

They were standard 66440's non CBI. The color difference is noticeable right away, besides the fact that I have no idea how old they are, the output is substantially better.

It's all because of that stupid side load design that they came up with to fit the projector in there and not protrude from the back of the casing.
