you can compare stock vs. aftermarket in the pictures. it's a thread for my fogs but it has the headlights too.

The Ultinons are great, but they have their disadvantages. The best bulb for output and year round driving conditions is a 4100k bulb.

I had the PIAA 6600k for my D2R's... and they're very nice actually...

However, when I made the switch to projectors... I moved to Ultinons.. and they're nice too.. I think I liked the PIAA's more.. unfortunately, they are more expensive.

A lot of ppl like the Ultinons because it puts out a bluer light without having some sort of colorized coating on the bulb glass. This ensures maximum lumens and best efficiency.
