Tried luminics, didn't throw a code. Their light output rating is bogus as is their temperature rating. 5500K was more like 4000Kish. Instead of rating it in terms of lumens they say light output wattage rating. Tried their titanium whites, but looked the same as stock in terms of light output and color.

Hoen bulbs are outstanding! I had them on my GTI fogs and they were super bright and white. Haven't tried the h8, but I think it is well worth a shot.
