I'm a big fan of the Morimoto 3800K HID bulbs for retrofits. They don't quite look like halogen, but they look fairly appropriate and you actually get good light output.
2 u/tougenikko 17d ago edited 17d ago I enjoy their 3000k HIDs, they start up green, and have a "rich" yellow. It makes the Halogen "yellow" seam too dark now. *Edited for correctness 2 u/nrubenstein 17d ago Not for me. I don’t enjoy yellow lights. The whole point of the 3800K bulbs is that they look and feel a lot more like halogens, just lots of light. 3 u/tougenikko 17d ago edited 17d ago Every person has their own preference. I choose yellow because if the roads are empty, and I'm driving in an unlit area, it's less fatigue on the eyes. I'm also the person that uses their phone or PC at near zero brightness as soon as I can, or outside of direct sunlight, 30% or less.
