Default D4S low beam bulbs

Starting to have issue with the flickering driver side bulb. Swap out says it is the bulb. I have read several threads and just want a final opinion on what bulbs to get. Garax, Phillips, MaxTT D4 sold by vendor here. Want 6000's this time. What would you suggest from experience and where would you buy them?

What do you want to spend? Garax is obviously cheaper than Phillips.

I bought Philips Ultinon D4S 5000k from NigelJDM (vendor) and am happy with the results.

I am not as much worried about the price as I am the quality and fit.

People have said good things about both.

I've had my Philips for over 1yr and no issues with fit or color.

If you're more concerned with fit and quality I'd just spend the extra money for Phillips! Haven't had any problems with my Garax though, not sure how bright it compares to the Phillips though.

Chiming in for Garax, great bulb, and lasted me about 3 years now I'd say? 8000k holding it's color still since day 1, still holds the same light intensity as it did first day, no flicker no bad bulbs..... 100% perfect!
