Just got my Osram CBI's installed today! Definitely a whiter, truer light on the road. Like the Doc said, not a huge difference. I'm going to run them on for a while to let them burn in and will report back. Did you notice more of a difference once you let them burn in Doc?
My OEM bulbs were Osram Xenarc's too. I saved them in case I ever needed them.
$90 for my guy to do the install, worth it IMHO.

Dr. J, I love the black calipers with white logo. Did you do this or did your car come this way? I would like to do this mod. I recall someone else here (stereorob, maybe) painted their calipers red. I like the white on black look better. Please share details if you did this mod. Thanks!

Sorry, Chris, my bad! I was too lazy to search the threads. Here's the one started by SweetLS, and you commented there also. In fact, it looks like Dr. J painted his calipers based on this thread. Did you use a stencil to paint the Lexus logo?

This looks like a very doable mod. I should give my painter Brad a call. After the beautiful work he did painting my grille, this should be pretty easy.

Looks great! The new bulb (passenger light) seems bluer (whiter) than the OEM. Looks like you have the high beams on. The difference may be more noticeable with low beams. Did you change both bulbs or just the outer one?

. I'll do the other one tomorrow. The high beams are actually off. Little drizzle + nighttime - not the ideal conditions to take good pictures.
