I am looking to get a replace my stock HID bulbs (mine are kinda yellowish).
It is very strange that my 07 GT HID bulbs were brighter than my current 09 GT.

Where can I get a pair of Philips or Osram D2S bulb 5000K (diamond white) for the best price in Ontario, Canada?

Would you tell me if you know anyone reliable sources sell the Philips or Osram in Ontario, Canada?

BUY GE BULBS

@ Canadian Tire.

Just do it. Don't ask why. Just buy GE.

There was never a real reply to this thread... and I am considering doing the same thing - replacing my OEM HID bulbs with Phillips or Osram 5000K ones.

So.... any suggestions as to local suppliers?

GOOD LUCK those brandswill run you big time $$$$ just because of who makes them i suggest you get a set f aftermarket d2s 5000k bulbs

as for why the lights get yellowish. HID's have whats calleda burn in time and at 4300k will become brighter the more they burn in

Any suggestions as to decent aftermarket brands then?

As for the burn in... well, my car is a year and a half old... I suspect my stock HID bulbs are as bright as they ever will be.

Thanks guys!

I carry the OEM replacement bulbs for a much lower price then the OSRAM/Phillips.

Honestly I don't think the brand will really make a big difference, I've had OEM Hella Ballast and aftermarket Ballast on my car and the difference is minimal.

But brand new Philips 85122(+) D2S bulbs (4300K) will probably be the best D2S based HID bulb you can get--they however, do not come in 5000k. (they do, but retail for like $200)

A pair of Philips 85122+ can be found for about $120-130, and generic ones such as Morimotos can be had for $60-70.
