Garax are good and many are using them. There is a vendor also on here that sells them now. I would suggest to get these for your car in the color of your choice

Yeah, Garax would be a good cheaper alternative. I think HIDExtra's D4S bulbs run for about $95. Garax can be had in the $80's I think.

All the Garax i saw was above $100. Which was why I went the cheap way, ebay.

It's so hard to find D4S bulb. Many place don't carry it. Else I would look for 1 with life time warranty. I still don't understand how they can give life time warranty on bulbs.

Thanks mysteryan.

Is that $85.99/each ??? Usually for bulbs it's best to go pair so that's $172/pair.

If it's life time warranty I wouldn't mine paying that much.

$85.99 for a set, not each.

Those with Garax bulbs, how long does yours last? 1 year? 2? 3?
