Looks a lot better. What bulbs are in the lows? It's always best to replace bulbs in pairs to keep the colors the same.

I was assured at Napa that it was the same bulb, but I understand they change over time. It bothers me, but not enough to toss out a perfectly good $170 bulb yaknow? Daily driver, and theres some other things I've got on the list before the bulb. Good advice though.

What brand was the bulb?

This is what genuine Sylvania and Philips bulbs go for

Don't even look at those Khoalty bulbs, they're cheap aftermarket junk
