Default HID bulb help....

Finally decided to attack the burnt out passenger side HID bulb, after taking things apart just to get to it and finding out that the dealer wants $175 for a new one. Online they are much cheaper but I see people talking about 6K and others. 2 questions I have are what are the stock bulbs, 6K or what? does someone have the best on line place to get the replacement(s)?
Thanks

$175 for a single bulb? The stock bulbs is the Philips XenEco 4300K.

If that is the case, you could get brand new set of Philips Ultinon 6000K for about $250. Nigel-JDMParts (CL Forum Vendor) sells them. I have them on my car.

Stock used to be Philips XenEco (used on 06-early 09 cars, made in Germany), Lexus now uses Toshiba Harison (used on mid-09-current cars, made in Japan) bulbs.

I have a pair of 5000K bulbs from CL vendor XenonDepot that cost $100 for the pair and they're great, look nice, white and crisp for half the price of one OEM bulb.
