Where did you get the bulbs from and have you had any problem with them flickering?

I wouldn't buy from ebay either. I would use Amazon or Premier HID Lights. Call around to a few places and try and get the best prices and customer support. If your replacing OEM bulbs I wouldn't pay more than $90 a pair for them. I wouldn't go lower than $65 either.

Do not buy from Ebay, Amazon is better returns are less hassle, I paid $70 and it is Phillips made in Germany.

The only thing made me hesitate is 6K HID bulbs will have different color compare to LED DRL.

You can't even tell the difference.

Nigel can get the D4S Philips Ultinon 6000k bulbs from Japan. Much more expensive though.

We carry both XenonDepot D4S bulbs and Philips Ultinon D4S bulbs.

ClubLexus members get a $20 discount per bulb on the XenonDepot D4S bulbs.

Looks great . When are you going to upgrade the fogs? They look a bit yellow in comparison to the 6k's now.

I think that is the point =) Looks like you either have Yellow Halogen bulbs or a 3000k HID kit.
