HID Bulb Upgrade??

Hey.....I'm tired of the stock HID's I have on my 03 CLS and want to upgrade. Does anyone know of any good bulbs to upgrade to. I heard that there's some out there that burn out quick and whatnot, so I want to make sure I go with the right ones when I make my purchase. I'm looking for 6000k or even 6500k's. If anyone has any helpful sites to order from or any other info. please share it!!!



Thanks!!~

your not upgrading anything but asthetics if you go higher in kelvin. you will be loosing usable light output. my advice to you if you must sacrafice light quality is to search the seller akinaboy on ebay. he sells quality products.

Here is my Phillips Ultinon 6000k upgrade. The first three pics are stock, the last three are the upgraded.

4300k Stock




6000k Phillips Ultinon




As far as light outout, I dont notice a change. Rain driving = no change. The light color itself will set you apart from every other set of HID's on the road. Its a big enough change to set you apart, yet not big enough of a change to get you pulled over.
