    The color, however, isn't anywhere near what I was hoping for. CBB stands for Cool Blue Burst, but blue isn't anywhere in it's color output. It's honestly closer to a 5k bulb than the "up to 7k" temps Osram claims. I got used to the slightly cold color of the Morimoto 2Stroke LEDs, so I was hoping for something more 6k from the CBB's, but they failed to deliver in that department, once fully warmed up. The cooler blue color only comes right after turning them on, while warming up.

    The lighting is great though once warmed up so if that's all you're worried about, you'll be happy.

    I should also note that I don't have a load of burn in time yet. Was it 100 hours I saw mentioned somewhere? Not sure. I will continue to monitor performance as they break in more.

    So spend the extra money on CBB or go with the CBI?

    If I had to do it again with the knowledge I have now, I'd probably choose the CBI, CBH, or perhaps try a Phillips bulb. With that said, I probably won't be switching off the CBB's because they're still awesome.
