Awesome Lights!!!

Output is just as good as factory (I think these provide a slightly wider beam pattern though, or maybe its just me)

But the color...perfect! Definitely noticably whiter than stock. No blue.

Must get for people with 06-07 headlights!

I have to agree that the Phillips 4300K (85122+) does give out the best output compare to any other bulbs out there. However, it comes with a price!!! It gives off a yellow hue which makes your lights not looking 100% pure HID compare to say a BMW/Acura. I am planning to upgrade the color to 6000k or 6500k because the yellow hue is starting to bother me the more I look at it. Last week I was side by side with my buddy's 2005 Acura TL and his HID was whiter and has a nicer cut-off with a hint of blue/purple. I must say Honda/Acura makes pretty dam nice projectors because they are so sharp and colorful compared to our G. But anyways I will post up some pics once I upgrade the bulbs to 6000-6500k. Any sugggestions in what brand I should go for? I was thinking in the lines of Phillips or Kaixen bulbs.

Well... most people on here, especially in this thread, would tell you not to go that high. However, if you are, go with Philips Ultinon rated at 6K.

And its crazy how 'halogen' the stock bulb color looks.

I think I will go with the Phillips!! Thanks!!!

Originally I didn't think much about our HID's until I was side by side with my Buddy's TL and my HID looked Yellow like it was halogen on steriods!!!
After that day, I start noticing other car's HID's and other G's and all the G I noticed are very yellow compare to other cars. The nicest one I have seen are the S2000's and TSX. I wish our HID's was just like that. I guess it can happen to switch out our blurry lenses compare to theirs...LOL!!!

i am aware that they are not the same, but then why post in a thread that is in regards to the 85122CM? either way, the 85122CM trumps the 85122CX anyday
