Replacement HID bulbs

I found a few threads with places on the internet to buy them, but I am trying to find a store that I can buy them. Thoughts?

The dealer might stock a set of 4300k- stock color bulbs at 150-175 EACH
Azine vendor Excelerate has Kaixen brand in stock- favored by many here
specialprice 109 per pair- shipped! score!! PM or call him

5000k is close to stock- a little more blue- the extra blue picks up road markings great!
choice of many
6000k is even more blue with loss of some white on roadway surface in front of car,
I like 6000 because poor night vision in general, and these are no-glare, and highlight road signs, lane lines and truck reflector decals

The dealer quoted me $225 for one. Robbers. Bumper to Bumper auto parts told me $109 for one. I guess I really don't need it today, I just wanted to get it done. I will pm Excelerate.
Thanks.

I get Phillips D2S 85122+ bulbs from http://www.hidplanet.com/oem.html. A pair of brand new bulbs are $109 and they are guaranteed to be new in box rather than the ebay one which are mixed and matched to make a pair.

Kaixen brand from Excelerate are brand new in the sealed plastic box as well. $109
Support our azine vendors when you can- they pay to make this website happen for us!

I cant say on other brands, but I sure like these kaixen better than my stock bulbs

Note: New bulbs need about 100 hours of run time to ~burn in~
the color gets stablized and they get even brighter!!

I bought some used ones from a member here. I really didn't want to spend a lot of money on them, as I don't plan on keeping my car too much longer. Thanks for the replies.
