I have a MY11 CU2 LUX, I have been seeing my stock hid is not as white as the ones on CL9 luxs ( not after market conversion ones)driving around. Did Honda stepped back on colour temperatures? What are the part number for CL9 hid bulbs and are they the same as CU2 i.e. H1/ds2? Cheers.

CU2 uses D2S as well, assuming 4300k too. the colour seems different

Apparantly Ultinons are the best? I'm not sure though.
