I had a S2000 HID retrofit on my Honda Accord and these bulbs are regarded as the best in the market. I'm thinking of giving them a try. They are about 80 bucks on Amazon.

i actually had them on for about 30-40hrs before I took them out..
Personally I didn't think they were worth it. My car is a lease, if it wasn't these lights might be a worthy purchase.
They are indeed better than the stock bulbs. After 20 hours or so of burn-in, they do get whiter, but nowhere 5000k white I've seen before. it's not crystal white.. it's yellowish white.. I am guessing 4500k level.. maybe after 50 more hours it would've been closer to 5000k.. who knows?
The light on the ground is more white and cleaner than OEM. If you look at the headlight from the front, it's lighter shade of yellow than OEM. this is what I didn't like. I liked the color on the ground (white), but disliked the view from the front.
I personally think it's the OEM HID lens that's killing these lights. Or the fact I didn't keep them in for 50-100hrs that most people recommend.

Nice!
I haven't seen any on this gen GS yet.
I found this thread:

And if you swap out the lens there is major improvement.

D4S CBI bulbs are great if you are looking for a subtle improvement in color temperature. They are rated at approximately 5000k, whereas the D2 version are rated closer to 5500k.
If you're looking for an even "bluer" color then take a look at the Philips 6000k Ultinon D4S bulbs, but you're giving up a little bit of light output.
All D4S HID bulbs can be found here.
