I ordered mine from Tire Rack. They were about $71 per set, got high and low beams. Kind of expensive, but they work and look very white.

the place i ordered from included the wedge bulb (inner light = W5W) for free.

PowerBulbs - they are in the UK, but will ship just about anywhere.

they are your parking/city lights, just search for parking lights or city lights and you should get a ton of threads with pictures and recommendations

i was wondering the same thing when i went to their website, it seems like their CrystalVision bulbs are the ones to get though. it says they are up to 4,000K, but they are the only bulbs that have any rating in their description.
