you can look into DDM. cheap option mixed reviews though. I personally haven't had any problems (even though I personally live 10 minutes from the shop)

I have the Garax 6000k and i'd recommend them. I think as far as quality vs price (at ~$100), it'll be hard to beat the Garax bulbs. Just make sure if your area gets a lot of rain that you combine it with maybe 3000k fog lights as 6000k bulbs like the Garax will make you loose some visibility in anything more than light rain.

Go with either the Xenondepot bulbs or the authentic Phillips bulbs. They will cost over $200 but they are worth it

I have Garax. Color looks great at 6000K but you lose visibility. Don't get DDM. I have their HID kit for fog and the ballast won't fire up anymore after < 2yr use. Will not use DDM again.

I have not tried others but will try TRS morimoto next time or just go back to stock bulb.

Are you looking for D4S bulbs? If so for your price range we have the Xtreme D4S HID bulbs and as a Club Lexus member you get $20 off each bulb by using coupon code "CLGB08". These bulbs are available in 5000K, 6500K and 8000K.

Here are some samples of the Xtreme D4S Bulbs installed in a few Lexus IS

6000K


6000K


Let me know if you have any questions.
