Thanks stel! I was just curious if there was a better price option �� i guess its $70ish/bulb and up is the best route to go and not cheap out on it

Thanks! Went with retrofit source and already talked to them and i was told it should not throw error codes, I just felt like $100/bulb is just too much. I ordered the D1S morimoto with 5500k temp for only $70/pair, reviews about the product is pretty good, its not like stock which i think is 4300k on our cars. Im hoping to get a better light output from it. Ill report and compare with my stocks and post pics when installed. ��

Generally speaking, you will have less light output with a higher Kelvin temperature bulb, given the same wattage.

Installed the bulb no errors, good quality and i got it from a reputable company (the retrofit source) and saved me money $200/pair against $70/pair is no brainer to me . Im happy with my purchase,
