Interested to hear peoples thoughts on these. I have fitted some today and I’m not that impressed so far.

Cant find any Osram bulbs named 4200k. That search query did however match for the Osram Cool Blue which happens to be 4200k.

You say you’re disappointed in them... in what way? Gotta be more specific here. Is it the light output, their color, the beam patter, etc?

Being blueish halogen lights they will suck on output. No lights that claim to be blue xenon look will ever shine more light than stock bulbs.
If you want output go for Philips Xtreme Vision, they have a white color and are a huge upgrade over the stock ones.

Light output and beam pattern. They claim to be 20% better than the stock bulbs but seem terrible in comparison. Colour is nice though.

They’re probably Osram Cool Blue Intense, which claim Kelvin rating of up to 4,200K;
