My Ride: 08 528i TiAg Premium/Cold Weather Pkg, 20% Tint, Technic Harness, JL Audio 12W7, JL HD 750/1 and LOTS of lighting mods!!!!!
Well...I'm on the fence with this one. I purchased a pair of Osram CBI's around a week ago. So far they have under 12 hours of burn in time. They haven't fully color shifted nor achieved their full brightness. They are however, brighter then stock and definitely whiter even though they aren't their true color yet. As far as brightness goes they are as bright as a high quality 35W kit.
That being said, I came from having a 55W kit on my halogen HLs to 35W on my Euro Spec Bixenons. I may decide to proceed with my 55W D2S retrofit (I know this is gonna be a pain in the ass but that's half the fun!) if I can get a buyer for these things. I bought them at $200 from TRS. If anyone is in need of a set shoot me a PM. I'm thinking about letting them go at $180.
Let me know guys...thanks!
