After going a strange pink colour, one of my Bi-Xenon bulbs (D1S) has blown and I need to replace it. OEM from dealer is very expensive. I’m in Australia, so even ECS pricing on OEM with shipping ends up costing similar to dealer. What sort of experience have people had replacing with Osram, Philips or Narva? I don’t want a cheap unknown brand. I’m considering the Philips D1S Xenon X-tremeVision GEN2 +150% Bulb.

That Phillips globe looks ok, but you'll need 2 of them so they match.
Have you pulled out the old globe to see who the actual manufacturer is?

After trying out the Philips and Osram, I ended up with Osram due to the way they performed

I'm expecting a lot of flack for this, but replaced mine with LED D1S bulbs after seeing a couple YT reviews. It's been two years and they are still brighter and whiter than the HIDs. Liked them so much I installed them in my other two cars, and so far zero issues.

Cutoff is same as with the HID bulbs. Hate away!

Do a lux test at 300ft between any new led "bulb" that's been on for 20 mins vs new hid bulb and you'll never use an led "bulb" again

Ended up buying the Philips Xenon X-treme Vision gen2 D1S from carbulbsdirect.com.

OEM bulbs are 4300K and these are 4800K so it matches the other OEM bulb well. I recommend if anyone is looking to replace theirs.
