you should also change both bulbs at the same time or else they won't be the same color. HIDs change color overtime so even if you get the exact same type of bulb it won't match.

Hope you changed them both.

Why not Philips!! You will have the best light output over Garax.

How do you like the philips bulbs? Did you go with 4300k or 6000k? Please give us some feedback. Looking to grab a pair of bulbs to fix that driver side flickering as well.

He went with Garax!! The lumen's output on them isn't comparable to Philips which has the best lumens output for the color; it does cost more, but it'll be safer since you can actually see more with the higher lumens output.
