Default Xenon HID Bulbs- Where to Get

Where is a good place to get an OEM replacement HID bulb? My passenger side has started turning pink. There are plenty of aftermarket ones available but I want to get the correct color without paying a fortune at the dealer. 2004 XJR

Beware of counterfeit bulbs. I installed Osram HID Night Breaker bulbs from a trustworthy site. Same color as original. Don't be fooled by brighter color temp. They may be brighter, but will not project as far. 4300K should get you in the right color. Osram were OEM. PM me for vendor info if you want. They were legit, and priced fair.

Thank you, fakes are exactly what I’d like to avoid. Plenty of cheap ones on eBay that say “genuine” but $30 seems too cheap to me

Also even the good vendors will list D2S as the right bulb for a X350. WRONG ANSWER We use D1S in our cars.
