Finally pulled the trigger on some new headlight bulbs. After 3 years the stock bulbs were looking a bit boring and yellow. Looked through all sorts of forums to try to decide on the brand and color. Ended up getting the Morimoto 6500k XB XenGreen D4S bulbs from the retrofit source. Install was a bit of a pain but worth every minute.
Here's some quick iphone photo's of the new bulb on the passenger side with the old bulb in the driver side right after install. Also one on the road with both new bulbs in. The cut off color is absolute butter especially on street signs. The bulbs definitely throw light further than the stock bulbs. I know the blue-ish light is 'technically' not as good as the stock yellowish color however the extra brightness more than makes up for it. Im told the color will shift after a few hours too, can't imagine what that'll look like.
Time to upgrade for some projector fogs with HID's...

I installed the 6500k Morimoto's on my f-sport about a month ago. I considered the 7000k osram's but i'm really happy with the Morimoto's. They look so much cleaner and crisp at night, I can't STAND yellow headlamps. My only complaint is that night vision is atrocious when it rains, which is basically every day here in Cincinnati anymore. But the cleaner look the rest of the time more than makes up for it imo.
Currently trying to pull the trigger on the Morimoto XB led fogs for a DIY setup. I'm doing so much research that my head is starting to spin.
