I purchased these about 3 weeks ago and they look great! I have the 5000K and had zero issues. The light is bright white and I really like it. For $40 a pair these arent bad. You can go real high end and spend 160 - 190 a pair. It all depends on your budget. GL

I've heard that the 2012 model are a little picky when it comes to aftermarket bulbs. They dont go too well with the factory ballast.

I have a 2012 and have the DD 6k and am very happy with them. What I have noticed though, is it takes 2-3 tries before they 'fire'. Got them during Labor day sale though and for $40 with a 2-year warranty you can't beat it.

It's also worth noting their customer service and speed is top notch.

I had the DD ones in my 2012 for a day and a half. Didn't work with my car at all unfortunately. The few times I could get it to light properly the colour was great though with 6k.

The DD bulbs would not work in my 2012 either. I had to turn on/off the lights several times for the drivers side to light up. Thankfully DD has awesome customer service!

Ended up getting Osram 66240 CBI (5500K) from theretrofitsource
