Default HID Bulb replacement

Can somebody recommend an equal (or better) quality HID bulb for the low beams? I believe Sylvania / Osram makes a replacement bulb, but I cannot find the part number on their site.

If anybody has another alternative (the local Honda Dealer wants $175 for ONE bulb!) , please provide the specifics: make, part #, price and website, or other source...

Sorry if this subject has alredy been covered!

Thanks in advance.
HB

Our stock HID bulbs are supposed to last a very long time. If one of them has gone kapput, is there any chance of a warranty claim?

I blew a bulb while still under warranty, and the dealership replaced it. . . no charge.

Yeah sometimes it would take long to turn on until finally it wouldn't turn on period. It was replaced under warranty.

Isn't it true that if you replace our OEM Hid bulb with higher output you lose visibility? Like replace 4300k with higher K. How does the 6000k look? Thanks!
