OSRAM Xenarc CBI or Phillips Xtreme Vision?
Phillips seem to be more money 152 USD for both bulbs. And the Osram are about 108 USD and 21 USD for a guy to put it in.
Comments? Any alternatives with same or better lumen output and longevity etc? Unless someone tells me something about Phillips, I don't really feel like spending 152 USD for headlight bulbs.... 108 USD seems a bit more reasonable.

The $50 bulbs off eBay aren't real.

They're OEM quality bulbs, they should last for a really, really long time. Like 7,8 years even longer.

The osram turn out to be a little more bluer (cooler). But compared to the oem bulbs in the car now, the XV are cooler and good enough for me. I think the philips are 4800k compared to the osram 5500k. I’m good with 4800k I want to see the road not look cool.
In in the end it’s your choice. But do a youtube search for this and you will see a whole professional video on this matter.

Changed both of our 08’s to Osram 6k 4DS bulbs. Whiter light.(bluer?) I understand that leds do not heat the housing in winter weather. Better “reach?”
Lexus loaner was a 18 nt300 with new tech led headlights. Roughly the same color beam. Not as bright as the Osrams

LEDs take some getting used to vs HIDs. At first I felt they were dimmer too, but as I've gotten used to them I much prefer them to HIDs (which I still have on the Pacifica.

Both are exceptionally well so you wont be let down. Either way is a win win and with the minor lumens change, you wont notice much. The best bang for your buck will come from doing lens work and spacing to create a perfect cut off and flickr effect.

No No! dont get osram! im JK. Ive had both and usually went with the CBI because they were cheaper and in fact have recently really gone down in pricing. Did retrofits as well in the pasts and right now utilizing phillips.
