Reasonable Source for D4R replacement bulbs

$50.00 dollars sure beats the heck out of Toyota's $350.00 per bulb
One year warranty on bulbs
eBay Motors: D4S D4R HID BULBS 5000K 8000K LEXUS LS460 LS600H SC430 (item 380027849600 end time May-31-08 07:31:00 PDT)
Says they actually have a physical store front, not just an ad on EBay.
Worth a look.

 

I replaced my stock halogen on my BMW motorcycle with a 5000 K bulb and it is the same brightness as a flash bulb or the noon day sun. I has a faint blue when its first turned on, but after it warms up in about 15 seconds there is no blue tint to it at all and it is a heck of a lot brighter than the stock 4300 k bulb at least to me. When I have to replace my HID bulbs I will be putting the 5000 k in it. But to each his on. Stick with the 4300 k if you like. Above 5000 k the light gets a bluer tint to it and less usable or visible light. At 12000 k the light is violet or purple and is more like a black light. Looks pretty but not much use, it puts off more of a ultra violet light.
A lot of the cars you see on the road use a standard halogen bulb with a blue coating on them. Sometimes you will see one in the distance and as it gets closer the change from blue to more of a white color, not HID.
This place is just an alternative to getting raped by paying Toyota $350.00 dollars for a bulb that is way over priced. Be my guest and throw your money away. The difference between the 5000 and the 4300 is only 700 degrees kelvin. I have both and I prefer the 5000.

 

yep and $25 dollars more
