Just installed the ultinon 6000k d4s bulbs in my 2011.
I dont seem to see the difference between these and my OEM original osram bulbs that come from the dealer. So Im kinda disappointed. I purchased them from Kbcarstuff.com and paid $207, waited 2 months to get them, great i guess maybe im asking too much of the bulbs lol

Burn in time is usually about an hour or 2 when they actually change how they look from 1st installed

Venom is correct but I'm still very surprised to hear this. I've personally used Ultinon bulbs in previous vehicles (D2S) and the difference is quite noticeable. While the light output is still primarily white you definitely get rid of the yellowish tones that the stock bulbs provided. Are you able to post any pictures?

I was going to pull the trigger on that exact seller today but figured it would be smart to search first... so the consensus is this guy with almost 100% feedback selling these is selling fake stuff for sure or is this just conjecture based on the price?

Hi,

You are better off purchasing the Xtreme 6000k D4S bulbs as the quality will be superior. You will also end up paying less money when you use coupon code CLGB08 upon checkout.

Just taking a quick look I don't see a 6000k option available, only all the way up to 6500k?

You are correct. Xtreme bulbs are rated at 6500k. The difference between 6k and 6500k is very very minimal. Keep in mind that Philips rates their bulbs at +/- 150K
