Best HID Bulbs?
I was wondering what bulb you all think is the best for our cars? I'd like it a little bluer than stock and definitely brighter. I've noticed lately our stock ones are not that bright compared to many other cars. I don't want it to look ricey but a little more bluish tint would be nice.
Thanks Again All!

I bought these HID bulbs off of eBay for my E63. Awesome crispness of light over stock HIDs. And just a bit bluer than 4300K.
They're perfect for me.

I've got mine from http://www.v-leds.com/. They have many variety of bulbs including XENON for the best price...

I think that also depends if your lights came Halogen or Bi-xenon (with factory ballast)
Like mine are bi-xenon and I have been looking for 6000k Philips D2S bulbs for direct swap while retaining the factory ballast. I think if you had halogen lights, an Hid kit like Andrew posted above would work... (What I did for my foglights).
Sweet pic btw, Andrew

Mine are Bi-Xenon factory. So all I need to do is find a D2S bulb and it should be plug and play with my stock setup? I'll probably go 6000k. Do they make different brightness levels cause I'm tired of being literally outshined by the Honda Rice Rocket next to me.

Modern ballasts are error-free already. You dont need that extra crap imo. Never dealt with ddm.
E63 low beam is D1S, E55 is D2S
E63 fogs are H11 (or H7), E55 is 9006
I've redone hid fogs 4times in this car, I lost track.
NSX, yes. But 6000k alone wont do the trick, its our headlight lenses/projectors fault.
Those ebay headlights look tempting..
4300k will be actually brighter on the road but look worse.
