An update, I got these bulbs from Xenon depot back in 2011, 5000k. Yesterday, the last of the pair of bulbs burnt out. First, they started to grow dimmer and slowly looking like halogen bulbs. Service life was about 4.5 years but became noticeably dim after 2 years. I'm pretty sure the OEM Phillips lasts longer.

Guys,
Where can I buy those OEM HID bulbs beside the dealership? the part # is 90981-20024 (4300K I believe). Amazon store sells those OEM replacement for $49.50 each https://www.amazon.com/Philips-Stand...42402+HID+Bulb and its even cheaper than XenonDepot.

too many sellers on eBay with very good rating that sells either Philips or Toshiba and both claim to be OEM, would you pick Philips or Toshiba as an OEM replacement?

Thanks.

@istarzan - thanks for the feedback! Yes, HID bulbs do lose lumens over time. I'm honestly not sure how the XenonDepot branded bulbs compare to the OE Philips or Osram HID bulbs -- as we've had customers replacing OEM D4S HID bulbs after a significantly shorter period of time.

@netasp - Just be careful... the market is flooded with fakes.

Thanks Steve, I checked XenonDepot for those Philips and they identical to the one that Amazon sells but amazon store has them for $49.53 on sale with the ability to authenticate them with Philips website directly.

Do you know by any chance if the bulbs you are selling are 4300K or not?

Guys,
Has anyone tried D4S - Osram Xenarc 66440 CBI HID Bulbs? which one is better Philips or Osram Xenarc?
Thanks
