OSRAM 5W5 LEDriving Lights

Anyone running these without errors? I have Osram CBIs and all the LEDs out there are too blue for my liking and don't match well. I've been impressed with the reviews and stats posted on hid planet, but they will cause errors. Is there a way to eliminate the error without a built in chip?

Nice find as I have CBI as well but use the AZNoptics bulbs and they match pretty well to me. Post pics if you end up trying them out. I can post pics of my setup if you want

All my LEDs are canbus units with built in resistors for error free application. Direct plug and play.

I know, and that's what I'm rocking now. The smaller LEDs create a bluer light than I'm looking for.

I too agree that AZNoptics is the way to go.

I've tried the AznOptics.

Anyone know what inline resistors are needed to make these work without canbus errors?

I posted some pics of 5K AZN driving lights (search my posts to find the pics). The LEDs look perfect and match the HID lights well. Forget the dongles and just get bulbs that are plug and play.

I will.

For everyone else telling me to get the AznOptics, I have them already, they don't match the Osram CBI HID bulbs I have enough for my liking.

+1 believe we have the same setup which is true they don't match 100% still look good but not like the osram led and CBI should together
