What HID bubls are people using ???

Here are the pics of the RIGG bulbs that I got from theretrofitsource.com.. They match my led parking lights almost perfectly. They are crystal white with a hint of blue.

Here are the pics of the RIGG bulbs that I got from theretrofitsource.com..

They match my led parking lights almost perfectly. They are crystal white with
a hint of blue. They work perfectly, just like factory and the beam pattern and
horizon line is really nice.






Here's a shot with just the parking lights on.



This is what the iJDMtoy bulbs in 6000K looked like.

Triples,

Here is the packaging from the bulbs.. There is not really a part number anywhere that I can find.. I can't read Japanese LOL, that is the only writing
on the sides of the packaging ..

Man, I was on a mission when I couldn't get them to work at first.. It just doesn't make sense why some would and some wouldn't.. I'm glad I did because I found some that I'm finally very happy with..

Sorry if this was posted before, but how much were the RIGG 6000K D2S bulbs? I'm interested in these. I know I have to call retrofit place.

Are these the Philips Ultinon bulbs that others are referring to?

D2S Philips HID Bulb


If so, do they work without issues? Any pics?


Also, anyone consider upgrading the OEM ballast or is that not possible (thinking 55W ballast with dedicated wiring harness).

I personally have no experience with those particular bulbs.. That is the correct bulb and I have heard nothing but good things about the Philips bulbs. They are a bit pricey, but probably worth it.. If you do get them please post pics..

The only slight advantage of the 55w ballast is the bulb is a little brighter. The bulbs will also fail earlier than usual with the higher wattage.
