A D2S bulb is a D2S bulb as far as fitment goes. You can order any as long as it says D2S. Try an 8000k color temperature bulb.

Ya just Realize this

wouldn't 8000k be a weak light In terms of visibility? Was looking at these, seem to Sacrifices as least light as possible but still have a cool blue look. ?

You will need 8000k to get the blue look which is the civic look
You will need 6000k to get the white look which is ideal
You can't have both..... Pic one

This. You go too far into the blue or yellow color spectrum and your visibility diminishes.

I would have to agree with the Philips Ultinon 6000Ks. My car takes the D1S version, but amazing light. I didn't notice my 'active curve illumination' option with with stock bulbs, but certainly notice them working with these.
