Default Where to buy HID bulbs '98 LS400

My hid bulbs are slowly dimming and Im looking for some new ones. Where can I get some replacements for cheap. I want something more colorful that stock, my freind just put 120,000k in his S2 and looks awsome, where can I pick up somthing in that temp range. If I cant find somthing colorful, I can settle for stock replacments. Thanks guys,

120,000k is a big no no.
I would go 6000k at most.

6000k is more blue than stock right? Im jsut trying to achive a more colorful look while still being bright. I dont want to go dimmer. Thanks for the info. Called Lexus here in Hawaii and they wanted $350 per bulb, which is freaking insane.

yes 6000k is a bit bluer than stock, without losing too much light

it's almost pointleess to get bulbs from dealership imho
