Was the bulb. Pretty sure it is the oem bulb. The center turned like a greyish black color.

New ones in and look great! Only seen them in daylight so far brill take a spin tonight.

you'll love them,. probably not what you expect from the hype right away but run them during the day for a while to break them in. after the salts settle they will be super white and wide.

Are they supposed to have these spots I took in the pics? I don't remember seeing that with my last oem bulbs. They definitely are in there right. Only one way they can go in.

Maybe normal just didn't remember seeing that before. Doesnt bother me though.

Nice and white and very bright from a quick drive around.

Mine looks like that too. Maybe not as pronounced as yours though.

Did you check yours ever? I know I definitely put them in right. Can't put them upside down as they won't fit in that way.

Haha, I can relate with moddiction thats how I felt when I first installed my bulbs as well. And yeah my issue was solved with them now. I love the bulbs. Can't wait to see how they look when fully broken in. I have maybe 12 hours on them so far if that.

Did you have to re install them? Or just were fine how they were?
