So I had these since I got the 2008 GS 350 and they about to die on me. Go ta CHECK HEADLAMP warning light earlier today.

Is Garax HID still a good choice to go with or are there something brighter than it with reasonable pricing out there?

 

what do you mean brighter? 6000k is 6000k no matter what brand.

i had garax and they were good, i liked them. Phillips makes a really good bulb but its cost about twice as much

 

offer higher lumen than Garax at 600k color temp.

 

you can get higher than 6000k but the light output suffers. the best light output for an hid bulb is 4300k.

 

Yes I would either go stock like IXI187IXI said or you can get the Xenon Depot HID 5k which are pretty good they are about $100 with clublexus discount. http://www.kbcarstuff.com/D4S-XenonD...b-p/xt-d4s.htm

 

I have and love these. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/clu...s-on-sale.html

Plus the vendor is great too. A lot more expensive than the Garax, but I think they are worth it. I've heard that Garax is pretty good for the price.

 

Second that! I have 5000K Xenon Depot for my GS and Sienna. 5000K has most light output of OEM 4300K but the color is much better in pure white. I have tried 6000K and did not like the light output and the purplish color. Also I have been using Xenon Depot for the last 6 years, they have great products. Only thing is you have to pay extra 3% credit card foreign charge since they are in Canada....

 

They in Canada? Bummer.

 

i got Philips 4300 from here
http://www.kbcarstuff.com/ which is the xenon depot site.

I bought two so they match, but after changing the failing side, the color is so perfectly matched to the other side I didnt even bother changing the other side, which was working fine. So i have one spare. Install is a pain in the ***..unless you have the hands of a 4 year old.

 

They ship fast and I don't pay 3% fee, I use paypal no problems and I have had no issue's with there lights I'll post a pic of the lights on my old 3GSh. Here you go.
