Morimoto D1S 5500K XB OEM HID Bulb

No Compromise: Looking for the absolute best performing D1S HID setup? The XB HID bulbs will deliver. Compatible with 35W and 55W: The XB's will produce more lumens, last longer, project farther, and look better doing it.

Luminosity: At the heart of the XB D1S bulbs is their perfectly aligned 100% Philips Quartz glass that houses a capsule from APL-USA. Using high quality halide salts from German-supplier Messer; the bulbs produce nearly the same luminosity (intensity) as the amazing Osram CBI bulbs at 5500K. No, you're not seeing things here, but yes you will be seeing everything at night. In our Comparison to the big brands; Morimoto's XB capsule (used on all XB Bulbs) ran with the best of em!

Long Life: The Austrian-sourced Plansee electrodes help keep the bulbs running brighter for longer. Compared to a Philips bulb for example, that will lose 14% of it's luminosity after 200 hours of use, the XB's will lose just 17% - which is unheard of for an aftermarket bulb.

Precise Alignment: A OEM-like metal frame surrounds the base of the glass capsule keeping everything properly lined up, which is even more important than anything else when it comes to HID bulbs. The resulting uniform distribution of light and well-defined beam limits will certainly stand out in comparison.

Reliability: Not that we recommend this for any HID bulb, but go ahead and fire it up 100 times in a row or even run it underwater for days at a time and the difference between the XB and any so called "competition" will be clear. These bulbs will even work with OEM Nissan/Infiniti (Matsushita) ballasts, which are notorious for discriminating against anything aftermarket.

Compatibility: The XB bulbs are a perfect match for any OEM replacement headlamps or projector retrofits that use D1S bulbs. They will ignite reliably with all ballasts from Morimoto, Denso, Hella, Bosch, Koito and even the most picky Nissan/Infiniti ballasts from Matsushita/Panasonic!
