The bulbs still have a very slight yellow tinge to em but they look great and saved me from buying HIDs at least for now. I'd say the tint on them is 85% white and 15% yellowish. The box said "4150k." I had my reasons for buying them instead of HIDs, like i said i got a deal on them...3 sets for the price of 1, cheaper then HIDs for the price I got and I have backups in case they go bad quick. And HIDs will prob be in the spring for me as I just got the car and would rather spend the 200-300 bucks additional on an extra payment since I don't owe much on my car. That and I'll more then likely end up doing the enclosure mod and install fog lights at the same time.

Also in terms of the lights, I'm almost positive that the h9 bulbs are single filament but since the headlight enclosures seem to be projectors, both high and low beams work with the 1 bulb. The enclosure was well put together, a little extra silicone sealant on the edges but nothing I was concerned about and couldn't clean up. The only thing you have to remember with them is if you don't install HIDs you'll be like me and have to find H9 bulbs that don't look cr@ppy with them. Install wasn't bad. Taking the bumper off and putting it back on was the bulk of the work. I had the bumper off maybe 5-10 minutes before reinstalling. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about personal experience. Installed them 1 week ago, no issues.
I got mine from the same place, so far so good but I went ahead and did the HID thing before I took the bumper off and installed the headlights, get it all done at once. I bought my ballast/HIDs from AAC-If you go that route, get the H11s-NOT the Bi-xenon as they do NOT fit in the eagle eyes. My color temp is 10k, so they're more bluish tinted and not TOO bright...Jury's still out though on how I like 'em, since the sun doesn't go down till around 9:30 here and I haven't had much of a chance to use 'em....
