The well known brands like Philips or Osram would be the best to go with. The only difference you might notice is the color (just cuz

two different bulbs are rated at 6000K doesnt mean they'll be the exact same temps). Also, if you go for other unknown brands the life of the bulb

will be significantly worse.

+1... Generic bulbs tend to burn out much quicker and have less consistency in the manufacturing process.

Stick with name brands like Philips, Osram, GE.

$99 bucks on ebay...they are the official bulb of the Chino Hills GTG. A few of us have had them for a few years with no problems and they look awesome!
