The Auxito North American distributor has two 9004/HB1 bulbs at the moment, both similarly priced.
The ones I'm using are their newer Q16 design, a cool white bulb at 6,000K, supposedly 10,000 lumens per bulb, 50 watts per bulb, with parallel SMDs that supposedly mimic the halogen filaments a little bit better than the previous design for a more well defined cutoff line. The cooling fan is internal and the housing is no larger than the halogens, so guaranteed to fit. It's listed as 99% compatible with both the newer CANBUS electrical systems as well as the older non-CANBUS systems in our RWDs, so doesn't need a CANBUS adapter like some others. On a good day it gets along fine with our bulb out sensors, but I have gone through periods where it occasionally triggers the warning light (re-soldering the bulb relay seemed to fix that).

$63/pair (after 10% discount) with free shipping and a one year no hassle, no return warranty. Almost half that price if you shop for a deal on their store in China with only a one month guarantee and no hassle free return shipping.

The bulb I originally wanted was their previous design (below). They weren't quite as bright at 7,500 lumens per bulb (6,000 lumens low beam, so a little closer to the DOT 3,000 lumen limit), also drawing less power at 30 watts per bulb, but a colder, harsher white at 6,500K. It's apparently still available in North America at basically the same price as the Q16, but apparently not from China as they substituted the Q16 in both my orders (I've now done both my 940s with the Q16s). You can tell the difference by looking at the SMD layout. The earlier design has slightly offset SMDs, the newer one is exactly parallel, otherwise it looks identical to the Q16

Dave -still with 940's, prev 740/240/140/120 You'd think I'd have learned by now
