Should you get shipping insurance when ordering the CBIs?

For the $$$ get motos. But I'm saving for the CBI group buy.

How did you like the Morimoto 5k's? Do they have great light output and more bright natrual white color than the Philips 22+ that have the yellow tint? How are they compared to the OEM bulbs?

Same with you, how do you like the Morimoto 5k? Worth it? How are they compared to the OEM bulbs that you replaced?

I am going to pull the trigger on a new set of bulbs as soon as I can decide on whether to get the Philips 85122+ of Morimoto 5000k. Although the Osram CBI's look amazing, I'm not going to shell out $200.

If the Morimoto's are pretty much on par with the 85122+ (and theretrofitsource.com says they have the least complaints about them) then I am thinking of leaning towards them because they are half the price and seems like the light color would be more natural white without the yellow, granted it may not be as bright as the 85122+.

Any suggestions?

What did you think of those 22+? I switched from my 22+ to the cbis for a while now back to the Moto 5k. Much more whiter and the color band is a purple blue!
