Default Yeah I know... Another HID Thread! Need opinion

Have the infamous failure of HID bulbs in my 06 GS. Cars been operating in pirate mode for about a few weeks now. I did my research on the forums.. .and it seems that my options are:

Philips Ultinons - Very Expensive
OEM Philips Xeneco
Toshiba Harison OEM - Not sure if this OEM .. and I can't find these anymore
Garax 6000K

Now I'm would love to get the Ultinons but I got other financial priorities and can't drop 3 bills into a pair of bulbs. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried the Morimoto Bulbs?

Priced very good and 5 year warranty and TRS stuff is always legit. Just want to get some input. I would like to get 5000K or 6000K bulbs.

Thanks guys

I currently have the Morimoto's in my fogs. They seem to match my OEM bulbs fairly well, and I'm happy with their performance so far (only having them for about a month). I am currently going through the same "one-eyed bandit" issue as yourself, but my headlight housing is cracked so need to replace the whole unit, so can't speak to how well they would work for the headlight.

+1 on TRS. They are a reputable bunch. I personally deal with a guy here in Toronto CAN who deals with them directly and they (and their products) are the real deal. If you want to take the leap of faith I don't see them steering you wrong.
