You can still get the Toshiba 9011's from candlepower.com. These have the HIR coating.
I bought a set late last winter. Then emailed them to find out how many they had in stock. Their reply was "roughly 500", so I went ahead and bought a second set just to have them. My favorite part about my retrofit is the high beams (bi-xenon + 9011's).
The hir is designed for a halogen reflector, it's not any harder on oncoming traffic then normal, but they seem to cut through bad weather well. Totally legal, worth a try at least.
