Default D4S 5000k or 5500k HID bulbs

Does anyone have a good source to buy Philips D4S 5000k or PIAA D4S 5500k HID replacement bulbs?

I would like to replace the OEM on my GS350 which are a little yellowish, but don't want to go 6000k which are too blue.

I found a contact in Japan, but $350-400 is a little too much.

Thanks!

Same here I'm also looking for D4S 5K.
I have HID Extra D4S 5K which are white with a hint of purple and HID Extra 9006 5K (fogs) which are a pure white color. Talked to Michelle and she basically told me to upgrade my 9006 to 6K, though I do not want to go up to a 6K.
I would also like to see a good source for Philips or PIAA D4S
