Stock HID replacement bulbs
Hello,
I did search, but can someone confirm that the stock HID bulbs in the 3IS are in fact 4300K? I currently drive a 2IS, which had to have it's bulbs replaced and they are now not very bright. I'd like to replace them with the stock HIDs from the 3IS because the color temperature and brightness looked perfect to me when I drove the 3IS loaner.
So, I basically have 3 questions:
1. Is the 3IS stock HID color 4300K or is it something else?
2. Where can I get 3IS OEM bulbs or equivalent 3rd party bulbs?
3. Will they work in my 2IS?
Thank you very much in advance.

PS - I was looking for the 3IS bulbs, is this not the correct forum?
EDIT: the color on the 3IS looks different to me than the 2IS. But all these D4s bulbs are pretty much 2IS replacements, does that mean that the bulbs haven't changed from the 2IS to the 3IS?

Like jcheng said, the stocks are 4300k (as is the case with most manufactures), but after time they will begin to whiten/bluish and begin to look closer to 6000k. Soon after they will show signs of burning out by flickering and refusing to light the first few tries.
