yes,...there are about 3 or 4 different bulbs people stick with.

Philips 85122- our factory bulbs, these start out at 4100k but by the time they hit their peak they are about 5000k
Philips 85122+ - these bulbs maintain a 4100k color and dont "color shift" like the 85122

Philips Ultinon-6000k bulb, slightly bluer but more expensive

Philips Ultrablue, very hard to find as it was a Japan only release i believe

i would stick with philips, osram/sylvania or GE
I read GE is very inconsistant with their bulbs though, they will not change color at the same rate, etc
I went to the hidplanet.com site...man, talk about detailed info! And these guys are serious geeks (in a good way). I had no idea there were people who modified their lighting systems in these little detailed ways.

It seems from reading many of the posts that some of the most highly regarded OEM lights are the TL, TSX and our S2k's.

That's nice to hear.

Yep, all the best OEM HID projectors come or came on Japanese made vehicles. Infinity FX35 and Lexus RX330 are the other top two on that list.
