Hbi's have a slightly higher kelvin rating and are a little more white than the standard 66340s. High beam, couldn't really tell a difference. Looking forward to comparing to the cbi's.

Yea I'm looking forward to your comparison too. Did you order them from TRS? I'm probably going to wait for a sale or something before ordering

No, same place I got my hbi's from. I was referred to them buy a friend. Prices are a little better, but just sucks waiting to get parts in. I've seen the eBay ads. For the most part they look legit, but I know my hbi's came with paperwork and everything when I bought them.

Ditto, I am having a hell of a time finding reputable osram retailers.

I think it was power bulbs or something like that. Hard to understand and English is a little rough. Best to supply part numbers. I imagine they'll send me another card with the new order, but I had my friend place the order both times.

The uk/Germany/Poland have a few of them. My tracking number shows that they dropped shipped from Germany.
