I cant believe the NEW D4 orginal bulb went out so fast.
No wonder I saw some 2006 GS's HID bulbs are out once a while. (100% stock car.)
My orginal HID bulb on my 2000 Lexus ES is still running Strong. LOL
The car has about 115K miles and it is still on its orginal bulbs and ballast.

My 8K Garax looks nice, and I got them on eBay for less than $100 shipped brand new, and they've been running for 2 months now. I had older XD 8K bulbs that I had for a year and a half or so burn out on me in May.

I'm running 6000K D4S bulbs from iJDMToys for 3 years with no problems. Paid only $99 for the pair!

Your OEM HID bulbs are suppose to have a lifespan of 1500 to 2000 hrs. Oh yeah and Philips bulbs all the way.

Their customer care is pretty good, not sure though how their life will be. I got led parking lights from them and one of the smt leds didn't work so I sent them an email and they shipped me a new one next day.

The sad part is that no one cares about authentic bulbs anymore, even the IS-F guys. It's just a part of their cars that they could care less about, as long as its "blue"

Everyone is preaching "Only buy Authentic", and yet have a $100 eBay PNP kit.

Congrats with your retro btw, I respect it.
