I received my OEM HID headlights this weekend and I'm already thinking of upgrading the bulbs. I've done PLENTY of research on SO MANY HID bulbs out there. And I came to a conclusion. Philips makes the best bulbs. Anyone in here have a Philips kit or D2R replacement bulbs in their LS? I want to have an idea of what it would look like in an HID headlight unit. Philips has a line of bulbs that are not sold here in the US. Only in Germany. They're called ColorMatch. According to Philips, it's a true 5000k temperature and are already "color-shifted", unlike the standard Philips Ultinon line of bulbs. Also, they only lose about 5-10% of the lumens from the OEM 4100k.
