I can't see anything with my Garax 6K too
I live nearby Moscow and we have roads with no light.

Hope to see my D4S bulbs aprox in a month, cuz shipping takes a long time.
Price 40$ for V-HID bulbs is very nice. Suspiciously cheap (Garax almost 2x price of V-HIDs)

i like this video
i have the same packege installed on my fogs,
they are bright and look OEM white, but they take time to warm up and can easely cool down.. i dont suggest them for high beam because i installed them on high and didnt like the time they take to warm up,

does any body know how can you have the fogs only running when the low beam working like in the video??
mine is GS300 2006

For High Beam better some halogen bulbs. I want to buy CATZ but don't know which one to choose.
http://www.fet-japan.co.jp/catz/prod...ulb/index.html
But they all (if 4300-5000K) have blue tint on bulbs.
I had some cheap one in high beams with blue tint on them.
The result - parking bubls light on blue high beams and lens reflect blue color.
So I installed stock high beam back.
Wish to find white halogen high beam (about 5000K) with no blue tint.
Can someone advise such bulbs ?

Yea its legal, as long as you are not blinding no one you're fine. Also why wouldn't it be legal in russia? They need extra money?

It's not legal (to put xenon where halogen was). Even projectors does not make it legal. Our traffic rules s"cks, they say it blinds upcoming vehicles. It must be stock HID or stock Halogen and nothing else. In general, any change in your car is not legal. =(

Yep, i think about money, about curruption. This is ground for curruption, for police to earn money.

can you leave your fogs with parking lights on while driving? or you have to put on the headlights to get the fogs on?
