Default V-HID 6000K Review

Just curious, has anyone heard any kind of reviews for v-led's 6000k replacement bulb, positive or negative?

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-HID-F...01152-1-2.html

Is there another brand that I should look into for a HID aftermarket bulb?? Thanks

Kaixen. Enough said.

Have them on my GS350. Their the only other brand out there, other than Phillips which utilizes a diamond shaped head. They were originally over $180 for the pair, which is almost equivalent to Phillips, but have since been reduced. Their HID kits are top notch. I have bought over 6 HID kits from them and none have ever failed and 2 sets of the bulbs alone, one for mine and my sisters 2IS

Guys am so so with my V-HID's, I have 5k and I just install my Xtreme 5K Fogs from xenon mobile and they are not near a match...My V-HID's have a white-with a bit of purple and my 5K fogs are on the white with blue...am thinking of ordering all four bulbs from the same company.

How often do you need to change the HID bulbs?

Back to OP, does anyone have any issues with their V-HIDs??? I'm sure Garax is a great brand but since V-HIDs are like half the price I wanted to know if people have been having any problems with them (V-HIDs). Thanks!
