Default HID bulbs replacement

Trying to replace the HID BULBS to 6000K

I heard Philips is one of the best.

From a local shop they charge me $160 for philips bulbs 6000k

Do you guys know any place that I can get them cheaper? or any better brand?

Help me out

Thanks

i have buy mines pretty cheap on ebay over a year ago, D2S 8000k and theyre working exellent. remember hid bulb is not a filament bulb, its just an arc flash type, so theres less probability of bulb damage, on hid system the ballast is the most common problem.

"How to recognize the real Philips Ultinon HID bulb from a clone?
There are several indications. One of them is that they are only made in Aachen, Germany. They are not made or made under license anywhere else. The rest of the properties are shown in this picture:



It shows the D2S version of it. Rebased bulb might lack the text on the base. Custom base will lack the entire base. The remaining properties will still be valid."

I got my regular bults from there. They have great selection with sidemarker bulbs, turn signals, dome lights, etc. I have no idea about the HIDs.
