Both were taken with a cell phone and they were under the street lights so not the best representation.

Cbi is cool blue intense. It's closer to a 5000k so it has a hint of blue. The cbi are new in the d3s platform which is our factory hid size. I believe hbi is closer to the 4300k like factory. That's all I know. Hope it helped.

From what I have read the HBI stands for High Beam Improved and is rated at 4650k. Whereas the stock 66340 is 4300k and the CBI is 5000k.

If there is more output than the stock bulbs I don't really notice. The color from behind the wheel almost looks whiter on most things. But if its reflecting off something white the bluish tint becomes more visible. The color shift at the cut-off is much more pronounced and a very cool deep bluish purple. I have to say, even though they arent really brighter they do seem to light things up better if that makes any sense. I can't explain it too well but I really like the color.
