Angry Type of HID bulbs

Can anybody tell me what type of bulbs the manufacturer puts in for the HIDs. After beeing at the dealership for some work (oil change and minor adjustments, I've noticed that my HIDs are not the same brighteness than before and I'm suspecting that they've changed my bulbs.
Can anybody help me out please?
Thanks!

more than likely it's not the bulb...you can do a simple test by swapping the bulbs around...i honestly think it's the ballast going south.
If you need to get bulb, get the 6000K instead of stock again...cost of 2 bulbs equals to 1 bulb at dealer price and it's better (whiter color)

If you are thinking about replacing the lights with an upgraded version then you can contact Hids4less.com They just sent me an email like two weeks ago about STAGE II upgrade. Since we already have factory HIDS, the price is lower than getting a new HID kit. Hids4less is having a sale (only through April 11) on the upgrade for $285. These lights are very sharp looking. They will give you the nice blue look. The best part about them is the 5 year warranty that they give you. Hope this helps
