I didn't.  I got 66240 non-CBIs off of amazon.  

The CBIs are too blue for me too... way too Audi.

That's the one.  I bought a pair that came in the nice protective clear plastic case.  Almost dropped a bulb opening it though as one was stuck to the top half of the case.  

As the D2S comes with a separate igniter, I replaced them at the same time.  Hella's Gen4 igniters isn't the most expensive thing in the world.

Yes.
4000K-4200K is the brightest color temperature in my honest opinion.

我套CBI用咗好耐啦，果時未有 NBU。

CBI 個 selling point 係個膽自己發白光，個膽本身無染藍色，所以佢 keep 到 3200 lumen。用儀器度同 stock 膽一樣咁光。但落雨天就太白唔夠 contrast，有時地下有野都要好近先睇到。

    I remember last time you showed a video about a guy crossing the road in front of you at night.
I think you switched to high beam at a moment?
even so i think the lighting is not enough...

    is it a benefit or drawback to wash out the yellowish look of dirt?

That is exactly what I noticed with my CBI; on concrete pavement (white/grey color) the bulb is very bright, but on asphalt (black/charcoal color) it is hard to see what is on the road because of the wash out (or lack of contrast from objects on the road).   Mine is worst than this because early CBIs are known to have color shift problem.  They start at 5000k when new, and will color shift to 5500k after 200 hours of use.

Given the comparison, and scientifically proven, a slight yellowish beam is better at improving the contrast.  On top of that, a lower temperature beam has better penetration in rain & hazy conditions.  That's why fog lamps and street lights are always yellow.

But I admit I like the outlook of the CBI over the stock color temperature.
