HID bulb replacement with Diode Dynamics bulbs

[Thrust]

Had to replace the stock HID headlight on the 2015 Yukon Denali. Bulb burnt out at 82k miles and or 8 yrs old. If you replace your bulbs there is a trick on getting them back in. The bulb base needs to twist first before turning the attachment ring. I went with Diode Dynamics 6k after looking at how much replacement bulbs were on Rock Auto. Plus Diode has a 30% off sale right now.
That being said I took a picture of the 3 HID bulbs. RH one is the burnt bulb. Middle is the passenger side light that worked, but appears to be on it's way out too. LH light in the picture is the Diode Dynamics. I'll follow up with night time pictures tomorrow.

So one of the bulbs burnt out last week. Emailed Diode Dynamics on their warranty claim website.
Bulbs are good for 3yrs after purchase. Sent the details in and they sent me 2 new bulbs at no cost.
Awesome company!

I've always been a fan of diode dynamics, especially since they make a large amount of their stuff here in the USA.

But curious on your thoughts in terms of performance and output?

It's better than stock. The stock bulbs deteriorate over time so they have a better out put than stock. They are not like the LED bulbs you see some people with. Those are alot brighter.
