Default Replacing the HID bulbs

Was looking to replace the 06 S2K with 6000K D2S bulbs over the standard 4300K ones. Has anyone DIY'd this before?

And can anyone recommend anywhere to purhcase the bulbs before I resort to fleabay?

Cheers

Cool, do you have a link to the seller you bought them from?? Thanks
Not at the moment as work doesn't let me access eBay I think his seller ID had ninja in it somewhere though.

Could you find out at some point. Only reason I ask is I did purchase a set from ebay but I could not get them to fit for love nor money so returning them. I did make sure the grooves were aligned correctly but they just refuse to go in! So sending them back and looking for a referral so next puchase I wont have the same thing happen again
