I have osram CBI in mine which is 5500k. They’re expensive though. I think 198.
Don’t go above 6k because you’re really losing light output past that.

You can get bulbs from www.theretrofitsource.com
They have OEM philips for 95.00

Picture of my output.
06+ ap2 slope projectors.
tsx-r clear lens.
Osram CBI 5500k

How do you like the tsxr lens swap? Any better light output over the stock ap2 fresnel lens? Also, did you use a lens spacing kit? I've opened up my ap1 headlight more than once. Not sure I wanna do that with the ap2s

I'd doubt it. Sounds fishy. They buy them in bulk so have to remove packaging..

Get CBIs, you will never go back. I got them on my car and all my friends were giving me hard time about buying them. Once they saw them the were blown away and all of them have went out and bought them. They look so much better than cheap HIDs.

I replaced my wife's 350Z headlights with the Osram CBI. Best thing I did for her night driving. Got them at Retrofit Source as well. I will replace my own shortly with the same. Excellent lights.

Picked up a set of Mirimoto XB35 5500K bulbs, and holy crap. After reading a very in depth review on here I made the decision to go forward with these bulbs. Great white color, no real signs of any blue tinting along the cutoff, and great price on Amazon. I might just go ahead and buy a second pair to have backups. I am incredibly happy with my choice. (installed in AP1 headlights with no lens mods btw)
