HID bulbs, which model , which brand and where to buy

I've been searching but can't find definite answers to my questions.

I changed my bulbs about a year ago with low quality bulbs and now one has burned out....

so no more low quality bulbs !

I am looking for a good quality 6000k

1. I'm confused and not sure if I need D2S or D2C

2. what brand to buy

3. where to buy

Any help apreciated, thanks !

you need D2s bulbs. I THINK you can use D2C but stock is D2S. As to where to buy it's been a while since I had to buy bulbs so can't help ya on that one. I'm pretty sure Philips 85122+'s come in 6K and they're a good brand.

definitely avoid ebay if you don't want low quality bulbs. I learned the hard way when my license plate LEDs blew out and a cop happened to notice and gave me a fix-it ticket. such a stupid mistake by me -_-

Go with OEM Philips 85122 (4300K) They actually can be found on Ebay for about $45 each. That's well under dealer price (maybe $150 each?!?!). I used to buy them on Ebay for that price when I used to do HID retros in my old Accord. My buddy bought the car and the bulbs are still going strong at 4 years.

Our projector headlights use D2S capsules. D2R capsules are for reflector headlights. From what I can tell, D2C capsules can be used for reflector or projector HID housings.

Depends how much money you want to spend. 85122+'s are one of the best one the market. Known for their bright output but they tend to be a little more yellow than people like. They can be had brand new from TRFS for $90 I believe a pair. Otherwise the new craze is Osram 66240 CBI's they are brighter than the 85122+ both distance wise a width wise, also have 5k output so that means they are pure white, not yellow like the 22+. I have a pair of these myself but haven't been able to fire them up yet. The only problem with these is they are very hard to get, and are pretty spendy $180 a pair.
