If you want a good set of aftermarket bulbs that won't break your wallet, get some MTEC's off of Ebay. They are $100 for a pair. They have 4500K, 6000K, and 8000K. I have the 6000K and they are brighter compared to the 6000K Philips Ultinon. I have had the ultinons before and didn't like them. I've also compared them to other people that run ultinons and the MTEC's were also brighter. But if you are looking for brightest, then the 4500K would be your best bet.

I would be wary of those just because his item description is for the normal 85126 bulbs while his picture shows 85126+ bulbs. This means he doesn't know what he is selling, so at the very least you should contact him to verify what you are getting. You want the 85126+ bulbs because they are brighter than the 85126 and are colorshift resistant so they hold their color and output for longer compared to the older 85126 bulbs.

He totally doesn't have a clue about what he is selling, but as long as you make sure you get new 85126+ bulbs, then you should be fine regardless of his idiocy.

$150 if you're lucky. I'd say $200 for the pair shipped from Ebay.
