One word about the Piaa XTreme lights. Yes, there produce an HID-effect, but burn out quickly. I used them as low beams (H7s) on a previous car, and both burnt out on me within a 2-week interval about 4 months after installing them. I found better, more durable lights (and less expensive!) from Gary Woo at www.motionr.com. The 6000Ks are quite impressive

Well! That's good to know before we go spend THAT kind of money. Thanks!

Does anybody know what the HID bulbs are rated at?

I think 4300K is the standard for all HIDs.

What about bimmers? They have a very blue tint to the light, do they just use filters?

They all use the same color temp bulbs. The only difference is the actual projectors are shaped differently. I don't think they use filters either.

Question? The OEM High Beam H1 bulb on the TSX utilizes 2 prongs to make the connection to the terminal wire? But will a single Pronged replacement H1 bulb work on the existing wiring?

The reason why I am asking this is because I purchased online a pair of H1's from OSRAM. It seems that the OSRAMs have only one prong to make a connection?
