Question Compatible D2S for 2012 Sedan??

I've spent the last week trying to find a solution to my D2S problem and just trying to get the most accurate answers as possible. I've searched this forum high and low but still seem to find mixed responses.

I ordered the D2S 6000k from DD which unfortunately wasn't compatible with the 2012 or newer sedans (wish I had done more research on that, but they're customer service is great and immediately sent me a return label). So my question is, aside from Phillips/Osram CBI, are there any other D2S bulbs that are compatible with 2012 or newer sedans, preferably 6000k? I saw a video on youtube where the guy installed the XB35s on a newer model G without issues, but can anyone confirm this? TRS is out of stock on the 6k XB35s until mid September anyways, and I'm not sure of any other reputable vendors who carry these, but I'd still like to know if they are confirmed to work.

If you do have an aftermarket D2S on a 2012 or newer and haven't had any issues with that bulb, please let me know which bulbs you're running. Thank you!!!

I recently changed out my factory bulbs. I purchased a set of these.

D2S: Philips 85122XV C1 Xtreme Vision Bulbs

Results: They are completely white. No yellow, No blue. If you prefer the factory color, I suggest these:

D2S: Osram Xenarc 66240 Nightbreaker - HID Bulbs - Components

Note, when installing new bulbs it is not necessary to remove the bumper. Just cut the wheel, pull the plastic clips holding the wheel liner, push it out of the way, and swap the bulb.

Thanks for the recommendation and link! Do you know what the difference between the Phillips you linked and this Osram are? They're both $185, so I'm just trying to decide which one will be best for what I'm looking for.

Color. The first link will look like stock, only a little brighter. The second will be a little more white. I prefer the yellower color myself.
