Default best D4s bulbs?

So im looking for a new D4S bulbs for my car. so far my favorite one was the Oracle bulbs, I had them on my car for over a year and one burned out, when i went online to order a new set it was $199.

i ended up getting a garax set, they were okay.

Xenondepot im staying away from due to i know a lot of people who had them melt/catch on fire.

Has anyone tired Cliff's D4s bulbs from Mobile HID?

any other brands i dont know about?

i only just bought my 2IS 3 months ago and one of the first mods were to replace my xenons. i did the ORACLE 8000k d4s..they are amazing, 8000k might be too much for you guys but it tickles my fancy . i did a lot of research, some companies were having melting issues, lexus asked me if i had aftermarket bulbs at service and checked them out and said they are great. no errors, no fuse problems, no melting. been running them for a solid 2 months now, no problems. i think only 1 night a week ago on a 20 degree start up the one bulb came on a minute after the other, but i read that sometimes temperatures can affect them, so al winter i will be warming the car up a good 5-10mins before turning em' on. ORACLE!!! i also have my 8000k AAC angel kit sitting around until after winter
