HID Bulbs

Hi all,

I'm interested in picking up a set of 6000K HID bulbs for my TL. As I understand it, our cars come stock with 4300K Bulbs, which provide the most visibility, and with the 6000K, they will be more blue-white looking, with a slight loss in visibility.

I am looking for a quality set, but my searches on the web have left me a bit puzzled. I've seen prices as high as $200-300, and as low as $14.99. With such a large gap in high and low price, I first wanted to consult with the board to get a recommendation.

Where is a good place to pick up a set of nice bulbs? And or a manufacturer or specific bulb that is high quality and not over priced?

Thanks as always for you help!

If 6000k is what you are shooting for then the best bulb on the market is Phillips Ultinon.

Cheapest that I could find them online right now is $95 shipped, compare that to $300 which use to be their price back when they first came out.
