Bulb upgrade

I am thinking about upgrading the headlight bulbs and it's a bit of a mine field. I've narrowed it down a bit to Cree and Lux. The Cree one's are offered in either the split design or the just the twist in, whats the difference and which is best, also are the Lux any better, both are around the 35 watt mark, any help or advice appreciated.

I bought a set of Lux and am happy with the results.

Pro's:

- That sickly yellowish-orangish hue on the angel eyes is gone

- Installation is simple....if you have the hands of a 5 yr old, but that's no fault of Lux. Tight in there bud, tight....


Cons:

- Some people don't like that the inner ring seems to be much brighter than the outer. Looks worse in pics than real life, IMHO

- The Lux bulbs don't turn into the socket as much as a normal bulb. They've never fallen out or moved, but I find it ridiculous that they don't turn in enough to feel that detent. Prolly just me....
