Hey guys sorry for taking a long time to post. Any ways here are some details about my little project, I bought the 5K D4S V-HID's from V-Leds.com for $50 bucks (price got my attention), I also ended up ordering a pair of 5K SMT 5 Led 194 for the ambient lights in the high beam...Am also waiting for my fog kit 5K Xtreme HID kit from xenon depot should be here this week or early next week. ENJOY!

Will repost once I get my HID kit in and install. Way better that stocks! Really white specially in really dark places. Extremely happy with the outcome...let hope they last a long time, am shooting for 1 to 2 years.

I am running Garax 6000K for about 8 months and still workin like a champ. I would definately say they are higher quality then what xenon is selling...no offense, just my 2 cents.

I personally would not suggest going with anything above 6000k as higher K bulbs will give you little or none functional output.

Our next generation D4 bulbs are still operating at a 0% failure rate (based on approximately 7 months of data).

For those interested, make sure to use our "CLGB08" coupon code to save $20/bulb on our 6000k D4S and 8000k D4S bulbs. Please view these links for more info:

6000k D4S bulb:
