D2S - Osram Xenarc 66240CBI HID Bulbs

They are no better than the $30 pair of bulbs I previously purchased from Amazon. I purchased the Osram thinking they would be much better. If you are lookin for pure white this is not the bulb for you, it has a yellowish beam and not as bright as the $30 bulbs I replaced.

Just what I was looking for and wanted. After a ton of research on replacement bulbs....lumens vs. Deg. Kelvin,......55watts vs. more and all of it mixed into gether. You see on an S type R Jaguar you need to remove the entire front bumper assemble (not a small, or pleasant, task) to replace the bulbs. So you want to get it right the first time!! Having been involved with the photog world (love photography) I'm quite familiar with color of light vs. deg. of Kelvin.....lower the deg. (3400 ish) more yellow the light, higher the deg.K. whiter the light that would be in the 4800~5500 deg. K....with 6500 and up getting into the blueish look that I'm not fond of. I'm of the understanding that 4800 to 5500 deg. K is quite to very 'white' (no blue light) and is the easiest to see with. These bulbs came as 6000 deg. K. Hmmmmmmm....anyway, installed them flipped them on....OUTSTANDING!!!! just what I was wanting....couldn't be better!!

I bought these thinking i was getting a great deal considering this set was selling for about $50 more on other sites. Turns out it was too good to be true. I had my doubts when I first saw the product page but went ahead and tried it. I wasn't aware of an osram verify site before I purchased them.So I received the bulbs and compared the packaging to a picture from a verified seller's site. It seemed a little off. This package coloring seemed a little duller and fonts seemed to be less sharp. I installed the bulbs any way thinking I was overthinking things. When I turned them on, they didn't look any different than my stock Phillips 4300k d2s bulbs. They were not any whiter or any bluer. In fact, it seemed like the light output was worse.I will reinstall my oem d2s bulb on one side and do a photo comparison. Next time I'll pay the extra $50 for the guaranteed genuine product. I just wish amazon verified that their vendors are selling genuine products. This was probably a $20 bulb that they labeled to make it look like a $180 bulb.*Edit*. I still have the packaging that these bulbs came in. I went to the osram site to verify and it's asking for a "7-digit label code". The package that came from this seller has an 11-digit code. If that's not proof that these are fake then I don't know what is.

I am waiting a bit to fully review these bulbs.Package label checked out for authenticity on Osram website. Installed on a 2014 Nissan Maxima, replacing Philips 85122 bulbs. When I replaced OEM, CBI bulbs had the same intensity and color as the Philips.I did do research before buying the bulbs and understand they need to burn for 10-20 hours before getting to proper color/intensity.I have been running them night and day to allow them to burn in but I would say have so far been on less than 10 hours... Seems like it is working as they are matching my 5500k HID fogs more and more everyday.Will update in about a week.

Bad luck. The price decreased to $99 after I bought it was $129.99 😢😢I did check on OSRAM TRUST website about these bulbs I purchased, And the OSRAM web provided me with the serial number for each bulbs, and there was different serial number for each bulbs and it was the same as my bulbs.So I think it's genuine osram bulbs form Authorized Seller. 👍👍👍Check the picture...Didn't try it yet because I am very busy.Bet there is a lot if review everywhere about it.So no need of it i think.Just I want to conform it is genuine bulbs form Authorized Seller. 👍👍

I purchased DS2 for my 11 Acura TL. They arrived 1/13/21 and I was excited to install. I went to the Osram verification site and realized one bulb box number did not match the bulb serial number. I realized the bulbs were in the wrong boxes. At this point I noticed the boxes were pretty beat up used looking. Then I examined the bulb itself and noticed a white film inside the circular section of the bulb and scratches on some areas of the blue "bar". My assumption is that they were used. I sent them back for an exchange to try one more time. The seller is listed as the retrofit I believe.Update** 1/20/21Second set of bulbs arrived today and I posted pics. Looks like old used crap. I'm done with Amazon sending used old bulbs. I will return and order from a reputable source and spend a little more to hopefully get good packaing and unused product.

My QX60's stock D2S bulbs looked very yellow. I could have purchased cheaper alternatives but I wanted the quality associated to the Osram brand. After installing these, I immediately noticed a difference with whiter output. After 20+ hours of driving, I believe the lights have burned in a little better and are closer to 5000K to 5500K pure white light. I recent went somewhere at night and heard comments about the nice headlights/light output. The nicer color temperature and the increased visibility is just what I wanted.

Installed new HIDs in a 2011 Acura MDX. The old OEM HIDs just didn't seem bright enough and looked more halogen behind the wheel than HIDs. The color range leans more to the 5500K blueish range (high noon light) compared to the OEM 4300K yellowish range (early morning/late evening light). There was a noticeable wider, longer, and brighter light beam. I took some before/after pictures using an iPhone 4GS. Picture was taken a few hours after the install, the HIDs may still need a few days to get to 100% of their brightness.
