HID bulbs recommendations please

Time to replace one of the HID bulb. Looking for high quality super white. Any recommendation? Don't mind spending some money for it as long as it is high super white quality. Thanks in advance.

Osram CBI for best bulb, Morimoto XB for best aftermarket and price.

See the following photo to see which bulb had the best output in testing by Diode Dynamics lab testers. No bias here.

Those or Phillips 4500k.

Springing for the cheaper Morimoto option might seem a little worrisome (what if goes out fast?) but these bulbs perform well and last too.

3 years warranty. Output of the MM 5500k meets that of the major OEM choices .

I have a set of Morimotos on my IS because I was in a crunch and they were all I could find at the time, and they turned out to be one of the best HID purchases I've ever made.

I like their stuff, they've treated me well and helped out with a few projects. I've tested a lot of their motorcycle products, that stuff is neat they offer.
