Osram CBI 5000K D2S HID Bulbs (The next big thing?)

I'm not a fan of 6k. I like 5k, so I guess another reason for me to get 3five :)

What are the price differences between 3five and DDM? Is there an even better version or can I get these but have LED bright lights or something even brighter so that the fogs can try to keep up with the osram when I get them?
 
I agree with Jmess, I don't know why everyone has issues with DDM. They look and perform awesome and I see nothing washed out. I haven't had any problems in 4 vehicles so far

^ Just like anything else...not that it's a problem, just typically one product is rated better over another overall. And I think it's hard to tell unless you have used both products.
 
The DDM 5k matches my 6k morimotos perfectly. Can't go wrong with the ddm's for what you pay for them. My passenger side usually never turned on the first time so I had to flick my foglight switch once to get it to kick on. Tonight it finally crapped out so I'm debating on going with the 3five kit or just get ddm's again. I'm just afraid of the 3five kit not matching with my morimoto's. Also noticed the morimoto's are slowly dimming down ( not as powerful as before ). Ahhhh more money to spend. This forum isn't cheap haha

DDM kits are cheap, I got one as a temporary fix for the ugly yellow fogs. The bulbs are pretty crappy in those but what do you expect for the price they sell them for.
What I REALLY want is a projector fog lights, still looking into that. I had nothing but problems with MM bulbs, maybe it was just bad luck. I am definitely getting the Osram bulbs and the projector based HID fogs eventually.
 
do you know of any projector based HID fogs?

I got a lit of parts from TRS (TheretroFitSource) that are required to make this but I have to figure out the measurments if they will actually fit properly into the fog housing. When I get some time I'll work on it

Keep us posted about projector fogs, I been wanting to do this as well
 
Got me thinking now of buying these bulbs and the 3five kit. Hmm does anyone have a detailed video with the 5k setup of both ? Also are they really worth the extra money ?

Look at the pics from the HIDPLANET link on the 1st page of this thread, the bulb output really looks amazing compared to stock, I got 6K Philips bulbs, they look great but the light output is diminished compared even to stock bulbs, these Osram bulbs look 30-50% brighter than stock to me...
 
Just like Jmess requested, I would love to see a video of the osrams or with both the osrams and the 3five kit? Can anybody post a video please :)
 
I'll try to make a video as well ....but my fogs are 3000k not 5000k

Aaron, weren't you the one having front sensor issues or something with the HID fogs?
