Anil is right, since I put my wheels on I've been +29F and +24R with a 5MM Spacer.
Story, and I know it'll sound very convenient for me to disagree with Chad today but I didn't like my Morimoto bulbs at all. I won't say that they were not as bright as DDM but they flicked a lot, the passenger one was defective (IMO although they said bench testing didn't show a defect) and wouldn't stay on for more than 5 min and the "bluish" 6000k of their bulb looked more green when looking directly at it.
I changed to DDM about 4 years ago so I don't recall it being a disappointment when I swapped over in output although I wasn't an output snob at the time. The color was great...it flickered when I first started using them and IRONICALLY, the reason they were so awesome toward the end of life is that right before they started turning purple (Aaron YAY!) the color matched ALL my other 6K perfectly. Once I replaced them, it was more bluish than the purplish white I guess I had gotten used to.
IMO, there's now way around it. CBI is the way to go when you have the funds, man. In the meantime, enjoy the cool 6K look for $24. They're just fine.

Why sigh? I'm not disagreeing to disagree, I wouldn't lead another member astray to prove a point. I truly didn't have a good experience with them. In the span of a month I tried about every single D2S bulb they make.

Well, for encouragement, I am still happy with my Morimotos, but I'm now more interested in making them 5K. I have 6K as of now.

I had a feeling that at the end of the day you'd end up spitting.
