no vendors for hid bulbs, recommendations?

have the hpa 6000k bulbs but they are about to blow and hpa is well, you know. 180 customs doesnt seem to be selling bulbs so can anyone recommend me some bulbs for the headlights?

I found phillips bulbs but they are almost $200 for a pair. Way to expensive but are they really worth the money?

I was going to get some vled hid' bulbs for $50 as many people buy led's from there and figure it is a legit company(as in they will be there in a year to honor the warranty)

I believe Lou@amplified always carries them. That's where I got mine 6000K from, with life time warranty.

You have any pics of their bulbs? I have HPA 6k hid and 8k fogs. My hid looks a white while my fogs look blue. Does the DDM 6k have a blue hue to it or is it just pure white?

I have Philips 5000k CM bulbs and Vleds hid 3000k bulbs that I just replaced. Not bad for only 55$ , actually they are much better quality than HPA Fog bulbs , and since I already had HID kit installed I just purchased bulbs themselves and they are more amber looking then HPA.

That's the way 6000K and 8000K are supposed to look! White and a little blue respectively.

The DDM 6000K headlights and fogs I have are pure white, no blue whatsoever -- I can snap some pics later tonight if you want
