Default HID d4s 6k Bulbs: DDMtuning vs Garax

I'm debating which ones to purchase. The DdmTuning d4s bulbs are half the cost of the Garax. Anybody compare the two? Pics would help

Go with garax. Although I own 2 sets of ddm tuning hid kits, after a month of use, they blew. Then my replacement bulbs seem to be 4.3k and not 5k.

I have Garax 8ks and am happy with them, although now my eyes have gotten worse so I'll be changing to Garax 6ks when the time comes!

Been very happy with my Garax 6000K's thus far. I've heard a lot of stories about the DDM Tuning bulbs burning out early. Yeah, you get a lifetime replacement warranty, but what a hassle.

I have a 2007 ES350 and my left HID blew up I guess. I am planning to buy a pair of Garax HIDs and I have seen most of the owners like Garax 6K. I would like to know which one gives the most clear vision on the road whether is it 8K or 6K?
