Where to buy Philips 85126+ D2R bulb?

Anyone know of a good source for Philips 85126+ D2R HID bulbs that doesn't charge an arm and a leg?

I checked ebay and couldn't find anyone selling new 85126+ bulbs, it's all new 85126's and a few used 85126+'s. I'm only interested in the Philips + bulbs because they don't color shift as they age.

Thanks!

No because Nissan doesn't specify that they're selling Philips D2R 85126+ bulbs (I'm pretty sure they're not).

I don't believe that the Philips D2R 85126+ is the OEM bulb in the 2002-03 Maxima.

Should I assume they're not new? I'm only interested in new bulbs.

they are new, company sent me the wrong color, they sent me OEM color instead of bright white that I wanted.

Only used for like 2mins to see the color was off. I am about to return them but if you want them I can just sell them to you as I already have the new bulbs from the vendor.

So to clarify are they genuine Philips D2R 85126 bulbs?

theretrofitsource.com has Philips 85122's, but if you call 'em they may be able get their hands on some for you. Or at least refer you to their provider.

Thanks for the offer, but I'm only really looking for the 85126+ from Philips.

Because the Philips 85126+ (note the plus) doesn't color shift to blue as it ages like typical HID bulbs. This means the bulb will provide better visibility over time.

So far this is the cheapest source I've found. Shipping to the US is $6.50.
