Default Replacement Bi-xenon HIDs for S5 - 5000k?

Hi there!

I recently purchased a used Audi S5 and I'm in love with the car. My only issue has been that I'm trying to find a proper change out for the current 4300k headlight bulbs and I have been interested in a compromise between 4300k and 6000k at 5000k. However, I have been unsuccessful at locating a merchant who sells bi xenon HIDs at 5000k. I figured I'd ask here before I start assuming they simply aren't made.

Have any of you been able to locate or heard of a merchant who makes these bulbs? I've found a few D3S HID bulbs at 5000k but nothing at that level that would make it compatible with low/high beam bixenon.

Thanks for the advice!

I did some more research following my post and realized where I was confused. The housing itself determines the bi-xenon nature of the light (which is factory installed on my car) where as the bulb itself must simply be a D3S Hid.

Thanks,
