HID bulb replacement

Its time to replace my hid bulbs again. This will be my third pair in four years. I bought my last pair at www.plasmagarage.com and got the 6000K bulbs that have a slight purple tint. I love them but don't really want to spend $160for a new pair. I found some on ebay alot cheaper such as JDM Karamoto's at iJDMTOY for $59.99. They say they are Ultrawhite. I did some searching but couldnt find any great answers. What do you guys have/suggest? I like having a slight purple or blue tint for aesthetics but don't want to go over 6000K for loss of light output or spend $160. Thanks in advance!

I suggest you invest in some quality HID bulbs.
3rd pair in 4 years seems a bit too much..
