you can replace them with anything color as long as they're d4s bulbs. The only one I know of is the philips 5800K bulbs.

One member got them and he didn't notice much of a change in color but someone else got a pair and it was noticeably more blue/purple IIRC.

Check out XenonValot.com. They got some 6000K D4S bulbs. Made in Japan. NOT Philips brand.

So far, All aftermarket D4S I have been seeing is from Japan.

PIAA also has some 5500K D4S HID

d2s and d2r HID's are very common. The IS uses a d4s bulb, which is not that common.

xenonvalot is the only place I know that carries aftermarket d4s bulbs. I know philips makes 5800 K bulbs but have never seen one available.
