They're not terrible but they don't reach as far as stock or are as wide. Driving with just low beams is straining and a bit scary. I think I lost about 2000 lumens with the 6000K vs the 4300K stockies.
Hmmmmmm not sure if I like them. The color is nice... They just don't reach as far as I wished. They need a 100 hour burn in period so maybe they'll get brighter?
If they don't get brighter I'll either replace them with the OEM bulb or if I have the money, upgrade or Osrams Xenon 5000K 55watt bulbs and 55watt ballasts.
Kinda wish I did more research. Oh well, only $60...

For the money, I would have just bought Morimoto XB35 bulbs instead..

I just did Osram Xenarc 66240 D2S CBI Bulbs in my MDX. The OEM MDX bulbs looked like they were just barely above Halogen bulbs at night. My +9 year TSX with original OEM HIDs bulbs look brighter/wider. The Osram are excellent HIDs and I do a lot of traveling and the extra light is worth it in the mountains or looking for wildlife to avoid running over. The Osram might be overkill if your vehicle is just a city car.
MDX OEM HIDs:
Osram on 1st day of install, they look brighter now after 4 months:
