6000K vs OEM bulb comparison
I know 6000k bulbs emit less lm than the OEM ~4300k bulbs and will diminish visibility at night, but it's worth the sacrifice to me because the yellowish hue is a complete eyesore for me.
Here are some cellphone quality pics to give you guys an idea of the difference. You can't really tell in the head on picture that there is much of a difference, but against the wall it is quite obvious. Install is overall easy through the wheel well but it's kind of tight. The clips are a little difficult but I've dealt with a few that were worse. If anyone has questions feel free to ask.

Got a pair from ddm tuning on sale. They are very cheap (25$ the pair approx...). I've used DDM before on multiple cars and never had any issues with them. However when I plugged these in one died on the spot.
Bought Philips bulbs locally instead for 80$ now.

Yeah me too. I find it's a good compromise of style and function. What brand bulbs are you using ? After trying the DDM bulbs and the Philips bulbs back to back I can say that the Philips bulbs are whiter than the DDM bulbs, which I like.
