Default All HID D1S bulbs interchangeable?

I see a wide price range by vehicle for the D1S bulbs...just wondering if I can use the cheapest bulb I can find in the HID kit, as long as it is a D1S?

for the most part, yes they should be.

when i swapped mine out with a pair i got from ebay, i had to just *slightly* modify the little plug receiver nub so that the wire connector would fit.



the link posted above is from a reputible ebay seller and i would definately recommend getting a set from him.

if you do change your 4300k bulbs, though, i wouldn't recommend going over 6000k.

you can see comparison pics here.
