The only reason I was attracted to those bulbs was because it would be one of the few options to match the 5k color. The other way to go is warmer with the yellow fog lights around 2500k for a contrasting look as fore mentioned using halogens from either nokya or Piaa. I am not ready to take the leap yet, I will continue to look for a match.

For low beams, it is my understanding that led bulbs are currently not the way to go because they do not work the same in the stock projector housings. High output led bulbs emit light differently than traditional halogen or hid bulbs. As a result, putting LED's in the low beam can result in significantly reduced throw, as mentioned in low beam and hid vs. led threads.

I think 7200 lumens for both bulbs and it should be divided by 2 so I guess it's around 3600 lunens per bulb.

I'm looking at the PIAA bulbs now. The big decision is spending $89 a pair for them or $50 for all 4 nokya bulbs. The yellow would be nice for all the rain and snow we get in NY. A few others have used both and posted pictures, and they both look great. If you're happy with the quality and the color, please do share.

I spent 45$ for 4 yellow nokya bulbs h16 type 2. Tested them for several weeks and I have no moisture issues, yet. They look great, and I hope they do last at least a year.. I've used nokyas in lowbeams in the past and had them last for 2 years+ before I sold the car.

ps: pics make the bulbs look more orange for some reason, they are very yellow in person.
