It's on highperformancebulbs.com.
They are not cheap, but they are Ultinons guaranteed.

Still waiting for them to ship brother LOL.
I can tell you this much, authentic genuine Ultinons are worth every penny (often nearly 400 clams a set).
I am not a great photog at all- anyone local willing to help me out?

I've read that they have reduced output. I'm curious how they compare to my Xenarcs. Can't wait to see pics!

Reduced output? Do tell. Perhaps because they are so clear and white?

Yep - was looking at those too. I just went with the 6000ks as they match the LCI angels precisely.

Based on what I read, I believe it was due to that. The brighter bulbs had a more greenish tint, but you couldn't really see the greenish tint until it was compared to the super white & violet Ultinons.

Got a buddy of mine to drop off the vehicle today as I am out of town momentarily- he took some iPhone pics and sent them to me to tease me

All I have to say is freaking amazing!!!

Such a focused, amazing PURE white light coming from these headlights now.

Even though he took some crappy iPhone photos, it just doesn't do them any justice.

I would highly recommend these bulbs to anybody- even though they had a hefty price tag.

Unfortunately I don't have any stock comparisons but I can tell you that these are night and day

Anybody a decent photographer in the central New Jersey area and want to take some shots?

nice. Ultinons have the best color. I've been running ultinons on every car that I've owned since 2002, But now I won't use anything other than OEM philips 4300k for its brightness. my vision is not so good anymore especially at night but otherwise I'd rock the ultinons all night long.

I'm getting there brother... I'm right behind you- but for now they seem to be fine.
