Where do you get your higher Kelvin HID Bulbs?
Where can I get a pair of 6000K D2S HID bulbs? The place I used to get them is gone so I am SOL. Anyone? Thanks in advance for your input!

someone told me many of those aftermarket shops for HID got shutdown because DOT came down on them hard, as those lights are not legal in the US

I paid $230 for a new pair of Ultinons off Ebay. Here are some other online stores you could try. Oh yeah, you need D2S bulbs for projector lights.

PIAA makes a DOT legal higher Kelvin replacement bulb - http://www.piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs-HID.html . It is rated at 6600k.

Tried that PIAA bulb when I was in Japan in my friend's Albaster White E280 with full Lorinser kit. It looked very cool but its performance is horrendous in black asphalt road, almost no good at all.

You saying you saw that the 6k bulb was DOT approved?
