ULTINON! Everything else in D4S is whack unless Osram comes out with a D4S CBI.

I have the D2S CBI and they are simply amazing. The night parts like the Red Sea and angels cry.

Danny,
I may opt to settle for a 5000K D4S since this will be a cheaper route

. However, I am wondering if I should go for OSRAM CBI in 5500K (D2S) to get the best of both worlds. Has anyone tested Ultinon 5000K and OSRAM 5500K (both D2S of course) and compared the color and light output? This will help.

Is there any other bulb out there in D4S that will give me the "best of both worlds".

Thanks.

Correct BUT YOU CAN'T install a D2S bulb with a D4S ballast or the other way around as that would NOT WORK. The bases are same on both bulbs.

Philips Ultinon's are 6000K but we do have our XenonDepot HID bulbs in 5000K.

Apparently, there is a 5000K Ultinon. Check this http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine-PHILIPS-5000K-Ultinon-D4S-HID-XENON-BULBS-42402CX-Mercury-Free-Real-/251282681555?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a819d6ed3&vxp=mtr. Based on others on various forums, I believe this seller has genuine stuff.

OSRAM CBI used to be 5000K. Recently, I came across http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=131073538696&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en, hence mention of OSRAM now supplying D2S bulbs at 5500K. Has anyone used these bulbs?

Thanks.

Those are some pretty interesting stats!

XenonDepot D4S HID bulbs only provide 7-10% less light then stock, and offer crisp white 5000k colour output - Only $79.98 shipped within the continental USA - Make sure to use coupon code KBD4S upon checkout.
