Paired with Xenon Depot HID fogs, and they look great!!!

After installing it and driving it for two nights......The light output is perfect with a white/blue color. However, I am experiencing some flickering problem and one of the light will shut off by itself I think it might be the ECU thing again because it happen to my other headlight........so I might be putting it back to stock this weekend and see if it still does it.

I have to be honest, I think the stock Philips 4300K HID has the best visibility out of all the bulbs I have tried. 6000K and 7000K.

KY
this is not a surprise, we all know the output will be less, but the color enhancement is what we are trying to achieve. What do you think is the issue with the bulb turning off ??

I am not sure about returning them......I might just try to sell them at the end when I found a perfect set. But I have to say out of all the HID that I have tried, the Garax does have the best light output and looks best at night.

well one of my bulbs are f'ed up. if you buy it on ebay it only has a 120 day warranty meanwhile if you buy it from ijdmtoy the direct webstie the bulb has a 1 year warranty. just a clarification for those who want to buy it on ebay. i don't think the quality of the bulb is the same? anyways i have to ship mine out on monday to get them replaced cause they said they would honor the warranty listed from the site when i got it from ebay. great service from them and indeed great bulbs. i just got a bad set. i've had 3 sets so far and 1 3k d2s bulbs working GREAT

I am not sure why, I guess it was the poor installation at the shop that I bring the car to. When I reinstall them myself it seems to work fine, at least for now.
