ebay!
what type of ballasts are you using though?
Any D2S ballast will power up any D2S bulb.
Any ballast with amp connectors will power up Any bulb with amp connectors
just gotta know what housing they'll be going in so they can fit without any modification.

why would you want to do a silly thing like replace 4300K with 6000K? you're going to lose visibility and the colour strains your eyes.. this is not a good move IMO.

Well, they got 6000k Phillips Ultinon, which is the best one out there but pricey~

i do not have retro fit headlights...just stocks...so id use the 9006 bulbs. i like the kinda of light blue tint that the 6000k bulb puts off. where can i buy just the bulbs? ebay has some knock off bulbs...i want the good stuff!! only the best for my civic! = )

that's not entirely true.
Some people rebase the Philips D2S bulbs but you need a ballast with a D2S ignitor to get it to fire up.
