Default HID OEM bulb D2s gave up after 8 years :)..any suggestion on replacement?

Hi ALL,
My 02 HID bulb(s) D2S Passenger is out after 8 years in servce... These bulbs are Philips 4300K. I'm thinking of a better way to replace them. Most likely, the driver side ones will go soon.

I'm thinking of another set of upgraded ones Philips Ultinon 6000K. I have seen them in other cars locally. They are very white with just a very very tiny bit of blue hue . This is what i like to have in my Sc430. Regrading where to buy them, I've checked online & Ebay. Prices are varies depending where to buy. I'm not sure if I want to take a chance buy these Philips Ultinon bulbs on Ebay. Any experience, please share. Also, what other bulbs out there that you'd suggest.
Thank you
Ned

I just ordered a pair of led 6000k for the drls from ijdmtoys for $31.99 and 6000k projectors for $11.99 a pair. Good reviews on the forum and a recommendation from Scdroptop. The price seems much too low which probably explains a tough time getting a response from the seller.Compared to my winning eBay bids, Prices are 2x or 3x on their website. They claim all are JDM

can't go wrong with IJDMtoy bulbs. i always buy my bulbs from them. i believe its 80-90 for a pair of d4s 6000k bulbs..

oh wait d2s bulb is even cheaper. its like 40 bucks. can't beat it.. very good quality bulb. d2s bulbs burn better then d4s bulbs as well (d4s is more environment friendly). you won't really lose that much visibility at all. take it from my own experience.
