Hey

I have been looking for the Osram CBIs, and can't seem to find them for sale anywhere....

TheRetroFitSource has the "baby brother" versions to the CBIs (in the link below), but I was hoping to get the real deal...

Does anyone know where I can get the Osram 66240 CBI Bulbs?

Thanks in advance...

Cheers

CBI (Cool Blue Intense)
As of now you have to get these imported from Germany I believed These are not available from the US. You can contact Matt at The Retrofit Source and see if he can get them for you or even ask him if he could possibly do a GB for the acurazine forum. I'm sure he'd have to get in touch with a moderator since Matt would have to be a vendor in order to do a GB.
These things aren't cheap though, I paid $200 shipped for the pair.

So are these supposed to have better output then the OEM Phillips?

Look through this thread.
Osram xenarc CBI
They have comparison pics and a lot of info in there.
These bulbs IMO are brighter than the philips 85122+ and aren't yellow at all like the 22+

Hmm.. subscribing to this thread, I wanna see how this plays out. I've always used Philips 85122+ but if these have a better output maybe I'll switch

Thanks bro. I would be interested in a groupbuy.

I REALLY want these but the international only availability has kept me from them so far, Id be interested if someone in the states could get them.

Like I said. Ask Matt if he'd like to contact a mod and become a vendor, not sure how many people we could get though to spend $180-$200 a pair.

They are brighter, yes. Stock is I believe 3100 lumens while the CBI osram 5000Ks are 3400 lumens. More light, and a tad bit of more white/blueness. I'm sold!

i'm in for a gb

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

I'll email Matt and see if he'd be interested in a GB after talking to the Moderator. Exactly which mod would he have to contact in order to become a vendor?

Astro is the boss.

They are suppose to be decent, check HID PLANET

nate_0022

Looks like there is quite a long wating list for these with very little supply from OEM vendors.

SILKO

Sounds like that could work to our advantage for this group buy that you would like set up...

Keep us posted...

Thanks

He also sent me this.

You can tell him to click on the "Advertising Information" at the bottom of the page. Astro does not do the vendor stuff anymore.

I would be down for GB if this goes through.

It's $95, as cheap as it could probably go. Just buy it.

SDSilverM3

I think the OP wants the CBI, not the $95 "baby brother" version.

Interested in GB as well.

I have pair! Not for sale though I've seen some for sale in the F/S section Section at hidplanet though

iTrader: (7)

do you guys still want these bulbs? I can talk to Matt for you guys since he is my vendor for hid parts.

vp55

iTrader: (6)

Yes I am very interested. Is it fairly easy to change them though?

chuanger

I've got a pair from the first group buy Matt did and love them. It's kind of a pain to install them you have to remove your bumper and headlight housing to get to the HID bulbs safely.

Matt said he has a pretty big waiting list for the discounted price of the CBI's. You can get them faster I believe if you pay the full price $200. Ive mentioned this to him already about a month back.

vp55

iTrader: (6)

^I think I'll just email Matt and see when the next GB will be. I really don't want to pay full price if they offer GBs periodically. Thanks.

whats the difference between the baby brother version and the other version?

2008whiteTL

.. Where can I buy a set ?

vp55

iTrader: (6)

I called Matt @ thehidretrofit today and unfortunately, he does not have any groupbuy plans or has any for sale from the manufacturer.

He suggested to check the forum or their facebook page for any updates on availability.

2008whiteTL

Is there a website that I can order these bulbs form ?

2008whiteTL

I found a website Selling them for 125 for each one . Is this a good price ? How much should these go for ?

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

People have found them on eBay but you Dedinitely have to be careful of fakes. There are a few out there. Most likely will have to be imported from Germany. People have gotten then for around $220-$250 a pair.

LostSol

Amazon has them for 129.99 each...

Hid4u(UK) has them - $218 total shipped
I plugged this discount code "Strathy" - discounted $48

Anyone ever order from this site?

Whoever buys these lights post pics since I'm in the market for some new lights. I just bought new headlamps from a member on here with ZKW lenses, blacked out V2

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

I have pics posted in "My transformation thread"

2008whiteTL

Just order a set form motive mods .. Paid 126 for each bulb .. But I couldnt find them
Any place .. So hopefully it's worth the money after the review these bulbs got .

Hey nate_0022 I think read on another thread of yours that your CBI's dont match your switchbacks, is that correct ? I'm trying to get new brighter headlights but I want them match my switchbacks

ebelp

I'm gonna bump this since I'm in the market for something to replace my 85122+ bulbs. Other than the kelvin rating (5000 vs 4300), are there any differences between the "baby brother" and the CBI version?

lucnex

iTrader: (3)

I do not think the "baby brother" version will match the switchbacks, because of the Kelvin rating....thats why everyone want the 5000k (don't quote me on that)
