Anyone try these PIAA HID bulbs yet?
I just came across these. PIAA makes replacement D2R bulbs for us(availible in D2S also). I believe they are 6600K, which should be a really nice color. They are a bit pricey though, list is around $475, and I see them selling for around $400. Any thoughts/opinions?

6600k may be a bit too blue - you might get hassled by cops. also, the bluer it gets, the less light it makes. and besides - $400 is way too much.
consider getting Phillips Ultinon 6000k D2R - i just bought a set on ebay for $200:

should come in by the end of the week.

yes you can modify the D2R bulbs by shaving the black strip on the bulb for a light output similar to the D2S bulbs, but I wouldn't do it.
FYI:
D2R bulbs are for the HID reflector housing like the 05 and previous years.
and the
D2S bulbs are for the HID projector housings found on the 06 G's
as far as answering your question. I'm personally going to stick with Phillips bulbs. yea, i'll pay a couple more bucks but their bulbs are pretty damn good!
hope this helps!
edit: damn, everyone beat me to the punch!

I have the phillips ultinon 6k and they do not look as blueish white as I had hoped. I'm more interested in the look than the visibility, so I think the piaa 6600 may look better. Piaa halogen's seem to be good quality compared to all the junk bulb manufacturers out there, so i can only assume their HID bulbs are good quality too. Once my ultinons burn out, I'll get a set of the piaas. If you're looking for quality and visibility, can't go wrong with the ultinons...
