Fwiw, I just put some DDM 5k bulbs in the high beams on the S and I think they are too blue. At night the cooler white flattens everything out and its not as good for driving. I have 5ks in other cars for normal beams and they seem okay though.

I'll probably get some 4.5ks from DDM and swap them out in the S. Of course, I care more about what the light shows me than what the car looks like to others with them on.

Thanks to sillyboybmxer!! I went with the OSRAM CBI bulb @5000k and they look fantastic. Light output is very bright and has an ever slight blue chromatic aberration. PERFECT!

OSRAM CBIs are the way to go. A little brighter than OEM with a much better color.
