OP: if you're just worried about color, then this is the D3s bulb you need:

Amazon Amazon

Also, going to LED is a terrible idea.

Sorry for hijacking your post OP!



You can send in your OEM HID heads to us for the EvoX-R projector upgrade. You get a lot more performance - low beams are much wider, high beams are more concentrated for increased distance -your exactly right about the stock highs spilling light everywhere. We use 5500K bulbs for a pure white light and 50w ballasts for 2400 more lumen output then stock.


Contact us though the website for more info, tell us what state you are in and we can get you a total down time with ground shipping - http://www.raptorretrofit.com/contact-us/

I run D3S Osram CBI's in my truck.

I run mini D2S 4.0s, 4300k XB35 D2S bulbs, and XB55 ballasts in my Benz. It makes my truck headlights look like candles, the new 4.0 variants are mind boggling good.

I ran EvoXR's in my BMW and they're pretty good, old technology by now though.

I was also dissatisfied when i swapped out my halogen headlights for OEM HID headlight projectors. Yes, performance is better than the halogens but garbage lighting compared to my Infiniti G37.

Did a lot of research and concluded it was to costly to swap in the Evox-R projectors. Swapping out the OEM projectors also required new ballast and wiring harness. I just didn't want to spend more money on the lighting because I want to upgrade the sound system.
