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.

 

since im in the market for d4s

anyone with an updated opinion?

 

What's wrong with your garax? I've been running 8000k garax and they are great.

 

garax 8000k

 

dont have garax...

8k really, might be too blue for me?? got pics?

 

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 was deciding on the 8k Garax. let see some pics! I know pics might be b/c of camera,screen, etc. etc. I don't care. PICS!

 

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.

 

I had Tom's 5500k and it cost me about $300ish, then one of them went out after a year use

Now im running Garax 6k. So far so good, not a year yet though

 

Garax D4S bulbs 6000K...or if you want more color 8000K but that is really blue. But its up to you. I prefer 6000K and 3000K for fogs...

 

^^^^ 6k garax is that blueish?

 

Hey guys I just order some bulbs from v-leds, D4S 5000K for $50 (pair) + free shipping...any comments on these? Should I cancel?

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.
