Since it seems that nobody really posts pictures of comparison of these bulbs I decided to bless all of you lol ..
my bulb burned out so I went with morimoto 6500k to get more of the blueish color and was hard to find pics to compare it to the white 5,500k and the stock 4,500k
Spent $70 on the bulbs and very nice subtle change and gives that newer light look and takes about 15 min per side to change I'd say

Here are the pics thanks to my iPhone 8+ lmao... Left is morimoto 6500k and right is 4500k stock

Then you can see the hue reflection off the car (left=stock...right=morimoto)

Enjoy

Great color difference pics! Those show nicely the cool slightly blue tone of the 6500k bulbs.

Makes me think I should upgrade my Low beams too. Even HID bulbs lose some output, typically around 7-10 years depending on usage.

I have Osram CBI 5500K in the Vette, they look legit.
