give me a day or so to scrouge up some pictures. I don't use a projector, just the bulbs in the housing.

Good for you then.
I dislike all the white headlights on the road. Even if they are properly aimed. I find them blinding as an oncoming driver, which hinders my ability to see. Even SUVs coming up behind me give a glare that makes it tough to drive.
I don't care for them. As much as I like LEDs, I'd rather they have the color of halogens.

It's so easy to determine which cars have LEDs these days. You can't miss the brilliant white. I remember when halogens first appeared and were so superior to the sealed beam incandescent they were replacing. I also remember so many people complaining of being blinded by halogen equipped cars and complaining about the color! Lol! i recall more than a few jurisdictions outlawed anything but sealed beams.
It's the same thing all over again. A new technology has emerged and it is going to make obsolete the existing halogen lighting systems and they will disappear. And there's nothing that can stop it. Today I noticed my LEDs actually light up road signs in the daylight!!! That truly surprised me.
You can't beat the dim yellow glow of a low powered incandescent filament shining through glass 1/2" thick!!! Lol. J/k.

This is the P6 LED that I'm using.. I purchased the 4300K though I personally think our eyes cannot discern the difference vs. 5000K

4300K H4 LEDs are somewhat difficult to find. I read somewhere that the cool white LEDs are cheap to produce, so, that explains why the warm white (4300K) version is priced 2-3x higher than the cool whites. So, the market trend will be towards the cool whites - they are more profitable to sell.
If my P6 becomes busted, I will replace it w/ the warm white version even if it is pricier. I'll never go w/ the 6000K.
