Ok here are the shots taken, these are the Morimoto 5000K, Honestly I fell in love with the 6000k but now I love the white look on the road.

I just got my Ulitnon 6000K install and it's just lovely. Need about 10hours of run time to fully burn in and stabilize the color but the result is absolutely incredible. Pure white and looks brighter than stock.

Yes.
I love the Ultinon ever since I've used it on my '03 Acura. It's the first thing I changed in my new Lexus after owning for only two weeks. I want to allow the bulbs to burn in a little longer to have the best possible representation of the light in pictures. Like I said before, first turn on impression is not very good. But after about 10hrs in, it's the best light I've seen.
I want to do it for my 9006 fog but can't find a 6000K Ultinon conversion kit.

Be careful with "Philips" 6000k HID conversion kits being sold in the market. They are not genuine German made Philips Ultinon bulbs made in Aachen Germany.

Subscribed for pics!

Huh interesting.. Never heard of Morimoto?.. seems like your having success with them.. I Went with V-LEDS 5000k d4s bulbs myself.. The color is exactly want i wanted.. build quality of the bulb.. egh?.. its ok. (7 out of 10), brightness was nice. Had an issues with the bulbs when i put them in the first time.. but called V-LEDS and man, customer service is awesome!! they remedy the situation right there and sent out replacement bulbs within an hour.. got them roughly 2 days later.. Overall high customer service.. and medium built bulbs.. There LEDS are great though! never had a problem with them.

Glad to see other brands and companies out there.!! and people have success with them!
