The ballast runs at 25,000 V initial spark and settles at 10,000 V after awhile.

Philips D2R HID bulbs... They are OEM

Don't buy any other brand, you'll pay for it later.

PIAA now has the D2R available. I haven't really looked into where to get them but I'm sure there's plenty of places on the internet that carry them.

I purchase this bulb and it seems to look a little more white/yellow than the other bulb. At this point I could care less cause atleast I won't get pulled over. Let me know though if the bulb will turn bluer or whiter as life goes on.

Regards
