Why doesn't anyone in this country sell decent H9 bulbs?

Ok, so the lights on the 675 are rubbish. I swapped the low beam light on the old bike with a decent one (narva brand and it did improve the amount and quality of light) but couldn't find a H9 for the high beam.

Fast forward to now and it being a year I thought someone would have thought of bringing in a decent range, INCLUDING H9 but turns out it doesn't get any love.

I can get some from other countries but that seems dumb and I know Philips make a decent H9 as well as H7 but it seems they don't have them in NZ. Dumb!

So does anyone know where I can get some decent bulbs, that spit out a whiter light (not boy-racer white/blue)?

PS. Not HID either. It's not my bag.

WURTH do bulbs, amongst their huge range of products.
"Silver Star +50% Range" Art. No. 1720#

You'll need to go through trade tho, as they don't sell retail.

Holy crap! huge range is an understatement. I browsed their catelouge online and it's huge. Can't see no bulbs though but the silverstar is exactly what I'm after.
