I used Osram 4300K bulbs. I'm still waiting for the color shift because the bulbs are brand new.

I actually almost went with valeos, very nice choice and nice install. Expect them to color shift after about 200 hours or so. Very nice though.

Holy crap. THose are bright. I really like the start-up. Perhaps do a start-up video with them on your car too. What was the total price for this project?

The color shift makes the bulbs a bit bluer, and the whole project was around 500-600 bucks.
