Improving stock HID Bulbs?

Elan · 01-08-2014, 04:58 AM

I raised my headlights from day 1. Not only to see the road better, but to see the reflective logos of hidden police cars down the road. Really saved my @ss a few times.

Just picked up the Osram 66240 CBI's and from the research I have done it seems that they do put out more lumens than the 66240 CBH's which are newer, the CBH's are a little prettier but not worth the lumens you loose running them IMO. Been loving the CBI's though, they have a more white/blue color compared to the OEM ones which have a slight yellow tint and I immediately notice that they are brighter and cover more ground.

If you haven't purchased yet, I'd do a price comparison against Power Bulbs. They usually have sales going on and tend to be cheaper than TRS.

They were $68x2 = $136 there

TRS was $128 with 2-3 day USPS shipping...

Cannot wait to get these in! Seems like nearly every other car on the road with factory HID's are much brighter than the Z, but, for long night drives, these should help. We need more deer hunters!
