Default Philips 85415XV C1 bulb upgrade

One of my HIDs burnt out last week, so I decided to go to TRS and upgrade! I purchased two retrofit kits from them in the past for non-HID equipped cars and always had a great experience. I was back and forth between the Philips 85415XV C1 and the Osram CBI's. I'm sure I would have been happy with either, but decided to go with the Philips. Really easy to install on these cars, took about 20min.

These are MUCH brighter than the factory bulbs. The 4800k is a very clear and crisp white light. No blue, no yellow. Very happy so far. If you are on the fence about upgrading vs buying a set of stock bulbs, I think the upgrade is worth the extra cash. I will post a few other pics after they burn in for a couple of weeks.
