I hear these Phillips Ultinon 6000k are way brighter than the Garax 6000k, gonna give this a try. Once I get a set, I'll do a comparison, Garax on one side and Ultinon on the other, both at 6000k.

-----------------

Philips Ultinon bulbs are limited production which is one of the reasons why they cost the way they are.

Garax is good but Philips is better, in the end.. what you buy is what you get.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...installed.html - one of the posts mentioning it puts Garax to shame.

You probably seen in the previous page about my Philips Ultinon 6000K, so bright and very good output.

Updated first post with guaranteed buyers. WIZARD1325 - you said interested - does that mean you want in on the group buy or you're researching more first? Thanks

Is Nigel able to beat XenonDepot's $255 Phillips Ultinon D4S deal? No group buy needed there.

No don't do that lol! Strange, why does Xenon Depot let one buy bulbs individually when they normally come in a box as a pair?

Wow that's a good deal. I'm jumping on this one

Edit: After thinking about it - I'm happy with the stock HID's. I'll stay as is until one blows out

Sorry, just purchased a set from XenonDepot so no longer in this group buy. Would have been nice if Nigel could have beaten XenonDepot's price..

let's see what I can do with the sale rep in Philips
If they can get such a good deal, I am sure I can too.

No problem MrBBQ. =)
Glad you didn't buy the fake set and ask before you do. =)
Enjoy the philips bulbs and I am sure you will be happy!
