Sorry if this was posted before, but how much were the RIGG 6000K D2S bulbs? I'm interested in these. I know I have to call retrofit place.

Are these the Philips Ultinon bulbs that others are referring to?

D2S Philips HID Bulb


If so, do they work without issues? Any pics?


Also, anyone consider upgrading the OEM ballast or is that not possible (thinking 55W ballast with dedicated wiring harness).

I personally have no experience with those particular bulbs.. That is the correct bulb and I have heard nothing but good things about the Philips bulbs. They are a bit pricey, but probably worth it.. If you do get them please post pics..

The only slight advantage of the 55w ballast is the bulb is a little brighter. The bulbs will also fail earlier than usual with the higher wattage.

Did you put on new ballasts or are you just referring to the DDMTuning bulbs.

Ok here is all I can find on the bulbs.. If you can figure out on how to order them I would recommend it.. I am using the bulbs and they are great.. They are great quality and look fantastic. I think they are better quality than the factory bulbs. The contact points are gold plated and the bulbs just look sturdier..

RIGG : HID : 35W ???????????

I had to do the google translation to read any of that..

Here's what they wrote "We do not carry the Rigg bulbs, but our Morimoto's are very close in terms of performance, precision, etc. Virtually identical stuff here- is there a particular reason you're after the Rigg's?"

Well when I ordered the Morimoto bulbs, they wouldn't work, just flicker and turn off.. I called and he (retrofit source) said that I would need to modify my
bulb connector to accommodate the bulb. I was told to slightly bend the metal prongs in with a screwdriver so they would make contact with the bulb contact point.

I sent them back and he sent me the RIGG bulbs..
