Morimoto xb 5500k his bulbs. Only $75 and look great!

If your factory xenon bulbs go out or you’re looking for a upgrade these morimotos are great. Only $75 and have more light output and are whiter than factory.👍🏼

I have been using those for 3 years in my daily GM projector retrofit.

Great bulbs for the price or great bulbs period
I have Osram CBIs in my 535xi. Not much difference between the two.
I would pick the CBIs for a few dollars more.

Was hoping the cbi were a lot brighter. I’ll prob get those next and test them out.

The Retrofit Source does lumen testing videos on pretty much all the worthy bulbs.
Did you by chance check any of those out?

Now they have a new Osram CBA bulb that is brighter than the CBI at twice the cost. cha-ching

I've been running the xbs, but 4300(?). They work fine.
I dislike the higher color temps.

I've been a fan of Morimotos since 'nam. Every set i've put on my HID cars have been great for the cost; best aftermarket bulb for the cost IMO.
