Default Xenon D2S Questions - Options, Links, etc..

Hello,

I have Adaptive Xenon's on my pre-LCI. Anyway, the passenger side D2S bulb is starting to be a bit yellow compared to the driver side.

Is it more likely the bulb going out or is it the ballast? (Too lazy right now to take both headlights out to swap bulbs to see which it is )

Do you guys have a link to where to get a new bulb? Right now I have the stock 4300K. I'm looking into either that same range or better aftermarket D2S bulbs in the 4300-6000K range. I think 6500K and up are too blue for me.

What brands do you recommend? How many watts is the stock? Also, I don't want anything that would show iDrive errors.

Thanks

Have you PM'ed John@motorcepts? I am sure he has replacement bulbs, and from what you're describing it sounds like the bulb, ballasts tend to last much longer.

I totally forgot about him until I looked at other HID query threads mentioning him. I've even bought lights from him in the past. DOH! Thanks!
