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.

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.
