Xenondepot.

They dont make 6K, but 6.5K D4S bulbs. The difference is negligible

Cant comment on brightness, but the Phillips Ultinon are german made and are probably the best bulbs that you can get.

Pricing is very different between the two though

Do not use DDM tuning D4S with an OEM ballast, it will burn your socket! Garax all the way

Sure there are fake ones around, but I also couldnt seem to track down a local store that carries them, so I took a gamble with an eBay seller, and theyre legit.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Garax-6000K-D4S-HID-White-Color-Bulbs-Lexus-IS250-IS350-IS-F-/400543809479?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d42457fc7
Contacted seller about the legitimacy of the Garax bulbs, he said they where authentic, plus the description states authentic Garax, on top of that a 9500+ Feedback score with a 99.5% positive rating, only negative feed back didn't re-guard Garax bulbs.

So with all that, if they even TRIED to screw you buy giving you fakes, PayPal will back you up in a case.

I got them on, and matches my LED strip perfectly!
