i have a set of single xenon's on my b6 and i was wonder what kind of bulbs are used in them....ds1 or ds2....and is there a sight that sells them other than ebay?

thanks Fitz

D1S I believe. Avoid aftermarket ones on ebay unless you like yearly $150 expenses.

d1s has the ignitor on the back of teh bulb, d2s has a plug with the ignitor in with the ballast IIRC but i might be 100% wrong

i understand.....my car is apart at the shop and i was looking at the bulbs in the housing and i said since there out i might as well change them out to 8k......but idk i am prolly going to change my high beams to yellow..

i may be mistaken but i ment 8000k

yeah the higher the k number is the less light u get from them. Best light output is between 3000k and 5000k. Yellow being 3000 and I want to say stock is 4300k

Yea, I wouldn't go above 6k with a 5100k being the best of both worlds. I agree that stock is something like 4300k.

stock is ~4300k, as the bulb ages the color shifts closer to a 5k/6k bulb. the 6k bulb sold by phillips was originally meant to be used as a color matched replacement bulb for an older 4300k bulb.

i was mistaken i talked to the guy and he was talking 6000k.......i am prolly just gonna leave them in as is...
