^ that's normal.. that solid will burn to become gas and that's when the arc happen which produce light.

I wonder why is yours orange and mine is more white. I guess yours is up to 6000K? or maybe 8000K?

Thank you all for the suggestion of garax! All I can say is wow I'm impressed. 6000k is perfect I aimed them a little higher and they have the perfect shine and brightness on the road, it's the perfect white. But thank you for the help.

NP, enjoy!..... They also burn brighter and more intense than the cheap bulbs too. Forgot to mention that

worker

LOL.... I wish I kept the cheap bulbs to prove it to you. I had the bulbs on, side by side, in each headlight and the Garax burned so much brighter than the cheap bulbs I had.

I don't know why mine is orange at all? I originally ordered 6500k from xenondepot and they were clear. those blew out within a few weeks and they shipped me these 6000k replacements that have an orange tint in them.

at least take some pics to document. anyway, it's call cool. I'll just assume you got some junk cheap bulbs.

They add other stuff in with the gas to create other color. Those stuff reduce the gas interaction and reduce the light a bit. Which is why 4300k color has the highest lumen. But ppl always mix brightest with the cool blue. Blue is actually more glaring to our eyes than 4300k. Anyway, some light is still better than none.

ohh, they were def some cheap junk bulbs HAHAHA!! I mean, for 30$ for the set u can't beat it.... but they lasted 3 months tops? and they were purple on warmup..... up until it finally warmed up and it was a white color. All in all, never cheap bulbs again .

If I do come across my uncle's GS (he has an IS he dailies and his GS is his weekender), I'll snap a photo, he gets his bulbs changed out every few months too, using those cheap 30$ bulbs.

I also totally agree on the glaring, but 6000k should not be orange at all .

^ only drive his GS for the weekend and he change out his bulb every few months?

I kinda wish I can use the old halogen bulbs now. Doesn't matter what brand I bought, those bulbs run for YEARSSS. These HID is said to last longer but none of them do, OEM too... they seem to have a much shorter life than halogen.

HAHAHA! Agreed my friend! Completely agreed......

I'm just glad my Garax holds on well for what it is..... 2 years and still going strong!
