Do you have any pics?
I was looking at CBB also, but several trustworthy reviews have measured the performance of these bulbs, the results were that CBB are noticeably brighter than most name-brand bulbs, significantly brighter than Morimotos and other Chinese bulbs, but the color temp in "K" is only around 5000K, despite being labeled as "7000K" by Osram. I have Morimoto LED fogs on my car, they are 5000K so I'd like to see if the CBB gets close to matching them.
Everything I have read about CBB says they are by far the bulb to get, but the 7000K label is wrong, but they think that is Osram's marketing playing into consumer ignorance regarding Kelvins.
Here's a vendor who mentions they are not 7000K, read the paragraph "7000K?"
