I bought Koitos and love them. Very reliable bulb, OEM quality. It's not blue in anyway just to warn ya, it's pure white. It's the look I like, like a high quality stock bulb with equal brightness and no yellow hue. That's why they cost more than almost any other bulb out there. Worth it to me though, cuz I don't worry about replacing them for a long time.

I have the luminics hyper white's and i'm happy. Definitely an improvement as far as looks of the car. Brightness? thats another story.

i have BOTH luminics hyperwhite and koito whitebeams. I only used the luminics for 2 days and then i gave up. Went to koito and i love them. I drive a lot of middle of nowhere roads and these lights are way brighter then the luminics. Plus the luminics are too blue for me. The koitos are pure white with no blue.

Don't the Koitos run at 100W? Isn't that higher than stock? Can't that cause problems?

If you guys are looking for performance, and not the color of your beams so much, check these out, I have a set on the way. Guy is really nice too-
These are a little hotter in color temperature (or in layman's terms: cooler in color, i.e. a smidge closer to the blue end) but draw the exact same 55W as the stock bulbs, and have significantly higher visible light output.

Post some pics when you get them. Sounds interesting, I wonder how they will actually perform.
