Default Xenondepot Bulbs Question

Not sure if anyone on here can help me but i believe there is a guy on these forums from XD. I am planning on order a set of bulbs from XD tommorow and was looking at the 5k's. I find that there are two sets of the xenondepot 5k bulbs but one is about half the price. im not sure if they are the same bulb or one is newer design or something? I dont mind getting the more exspensive ones if they are indeed better quality but if i can spend half the price for roughly the same product id be happier.

Set 1: http://www.xenondepot.com/2008-is250...-hid-bulbs.htm

Set 2: http://www.xenondepot.com/D4S-HID-Bulb-p/xt-d4s.htm

If anyone could help it would be much appreciated

Set 1 is more of an OE replacement bulb and priced that way. You can probably get an OEM set for that price from other reputable retailers like The Retrofit Source.

The second set set is their higher end version to compete with the Osram CBI and Philips Ultinion. Osram CBI are pretty cheap now for the performance, ~$120 range. This is due to Osram releasing two higher models since. Check out TRS for those.

XD has the 20% off and they usually PM price. They are in Canada so takes over a week to get. TRS is in Atlanta so their stuff comes 2 to 3 day.
