get some from Umnitza...Xtec 6000k D2r....i believe $140 shipped to yer front door for a pair...

I'm pretty sure this PIAA is not far from Xtec or any other high quality bulb out there...but why pay the $950 price tag?

Rather than Xtec, get Prolumen as they have a smaller failure rate and also a lifetime warranty.

thos are really nice but also expensive, but at least they are half the price of the philips.

OEM philips are also better than OEM osram imo.
