Not a CLS but two 330s.

One has OEM Xenon, the other has 6000k bulbs (mine)

those are not an upgrade. its actually a downgrade in light output. the 6000k is for looks. you would net better light output by putting a 4100k philips d2s bulb in your lamps. same wattage just no black coating blocking any of the light. you shouldn't have a prob blinding anyone with hot spots, but ask around. different d2r reflectors react differently. dont let your eyes trick you. it may seem brighter, but more light is refracted especially in the rain.

actually your oem bulb is 4100k but after some use they change to about 4300k. as far as a 98cl halogen housing projecting farther. u may be right, but it is a halogen reflector not xenon like yours and i would bet there is no black coating on the bulbs like your oem d2r which would make them brighter.
