Default HID light bulb brand recommendations

Any recommendations on which manufactures or country of manufacture to go with? German or Japan. I know prices vary from $20-$250 for a set but just purchased 2010 ES for my father and wanted to change up the HID bulbs. Considering 4800K.

I just answered this for another user and then saw this thread.

If you're just looking to upgrade your bulbs to LED for better lighting, I used the bulbs from here:

https://ledlightstreet.com/pages/sea...09+Lexus+ES350

So far I've replaced the low beams (H7), the high beams/DRLs (9005-same bulb for both functions), and the fog lights (9006). I also replaced the interior door lights & puddle lights with the 168 bulbs that are sold in pairs. For the head/fogs I used the Nimbis series...the ones in green on the site. The light is bright & clear and I couldn't be happier...as there are a LOT of crappy LED bulbs on the market, and these have been wonderful. Hope that helps!

MTCE are amazing, completely changed the look IMO as far as light intensity. I would say it's almost as bright as my new BMW with LEDs. It was in on the expensive but it was worth it.
