Morimoto XB35 4500k vs 5500k color comparison PICS

My eyes are sensitive to cooler lighting so I ordered some 4500k bulbs. They almost look like halogens compared to the 5500k's. Light on the road is pure white, looking at the headlights has a tinge of blue. The 4500k's are a warm white on the road and white looking at the headlights.

I've listed up the 5500k bulbs for $35 shipped here:

Are these still available? Does it include the canbus harness and all other harnesses?

Thanks

Still available. It's not an HID kit, just a pair of D2R bulbs. Car must come with Xenon package.

You should also consider replacing the front marker lights with error-free LED bulbs for color matching light.
I could not stand that yellow next to bright white headlights on our W211

Exactly. The yellow DRLs look horribly outdated.

Different strokes. It's an old car, looks tacky IMO when people try to make cars look like newer models. I actually like the dim yellow.
