Exactly. 5202 bulbs just arrived to the HID market, and they can get pretty pricey as well. Just like the Ford's 9140/9145 bulbs aren't available yet (although a 9005 fits fine). Other than the GM trucks I can't think of another vehicle off the top of my head that use 5202 bulbs, so the only reason I can think as to why they took so long to make them was because demand was too low.

Those are all new vehicles-why I said the demand as been too low until recently for them to come out with HID 5202 bulbs. As for the new Ford vehicles, The only 2009 model year that uses 5202 is the Escape. Every other vehicle uses 9140/9145/or H11. Mazda's 2009 model years don't even use 5202 bulbs. Not trying to argue I just don't see the demand for 5202 HID bulbs being high, hence why I said what I did.
