I agree! They look cheap! And they definitely do not put down the same amount of light as stock. But as long as you like them, that's all that matters.

I think the digital camera is playing tricks becasue if you stood there its looks like white. Its actually a sharper white blue/white colour that you see off a BMW. When I first turned them on, I was disappointed to see that I didn't see a aqua blue colour as stated on the website. The reason I replaced my olds ones becasue I was starting too see real bad a night with them. As if I was running holgens.

LOL...coming home from aparty last night..i noticed this M3 beside me and came to a red light. You can really tell the diff between stock vs aftermarket. Just look at the signs. My lit up every sign, the stocks did even come close to light up the signs.
Only thing I gotta do is lower the beams. Where are the screws to adjsut the lens so you can lower the beams?
BTW...the same place where I got my springs done, quotd me a price of $419-$500 installed for the Phillips vs my lights which cost $214 USD + $50 to get it installed at the dealer.

bolts to lower the beams is between the HID bulb housing and Highbeam bulb housing. Jus open the hood and look down, you'll c it. Clockwise to lower, counterclockwise to raise

Well the guy said you shouldn't be doing it your self becasue there is so much electric current going through the system that you might short out the ballest. 
I really didn't wanna do it myself.

I just did this and now I see MORE light. I put at 2 feet from the ground.
Words just can't describe what a diff these blubs make.

DUH!....why would you compare Japanese Quality vs Germen?
ITS JAPANESE! Every other business in the world has gone to cost cutting and stuff to increase profit and reducing quaility except for the Japanese.
And yes, I suggest you get pro to install your HID's. At the dealer they had to dis-charge the system to install the blubs. Thats why mine are so bright. It was done correctly. If it were anything else I would have done it myself.
