Suggestions??
well if you do have factory D1s then you can't right?
A quick google tells me both philips xtreme and nightbreaker are halogen bulbs with a cheap blue tint on the end to immitate that HID look

A.) they are not D1s and wont even fit.
B.) if you do somehow fit them they will not light...xenon gas discharge in a HID requires a ballast setup and is diff than what ignites a halogen bulb.
