Default Garax6k Thoughts

I was a 50/50 believer about Garax bulbs not turning off. BUT I've had them for 3weeks now and I they haven't turned off at all & the output has grown from old bulbs 40% light to Garax 100% light. I had to depend on HIDFOG to light road up. Now Garax solved it all. Spent 95$. A+ if you need em. Buy em - worth every cent.

Yes it is, its proven there is less lumines. The most brightest and best driving bulb is 4,300k anything higher is a darker color and less lumens. Do a search

I'm actually pleased with the garax 6k, I was just driving my maxima that I recently replaced the hid bulbs wig new Phillips 4300k and there great and all but driving behind the gs350 (3 week old garax 6k) in my car I could tell the brightness of was better in the gs350 lighting area. Maybe the gs350 just covers more area but the lighting is also greater then the phillips.

Btw what are you guys with garax 6k using for parking lights? I bout the jdmtoys 5led white bulbs and there too blue for the garax.
