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.

I get my 6000k phillips ultinons from SUVLIGHTS.COM but I just went there and the site was down ? so reading the post about the DOT I am concerned.

and this one
http://www.xenonking.com/philips_6000.htm

The pics of the markings on the bulbs look right on this ebay ad

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.
