Brighter HID bulbs?

Which bulbs should I get to make the HID's brighter? Also about how much do they cost and where to get them at. I am located in New York.

they are as bright as they'll ever be. 4300k is the whitest and most bright you can get. The higher kelvin rated bulbs will only decrease lumen output and lower visibility. The only thing those bulbs give you is a different color. Your best bet would be to retrofit projectors into your headlights and switch your bulbs to D2S.

I've also heard Osram Sylvania HID bulbs are brighter than Philips. Correct me if I'm wrong.

theres a guy on here that does the conversion for you for around $200. I'm going to contemplate this if i'm not happy when i get my G at the end of august.

well - to be perfectly fair, it's 200 for his labor, another $250 or so for projectors and another $300 for d2s bulbs if you're using your igniter/ballast/wiring. Still, it looks like a ton of work so not a bad price. I wish it was easier to do other than back and forth shipping... I really want bixenon projectors again!
