^ I've had them on for about a year, no problems. I think they come with a 1 year warranty for bulbs, lifetime warranty for kits.

brociouz, why did you not get DDM D4S bulbs? Are they not good, or did you just because Garax is that much better?

The HIDXTRA fogs have worked fine for me for over a 1 1/4 year. Haven't had a single problem with them. I'm also running their lowbeams and are problem free (halogen to HID).

It seems to be a general consensus that Garax makes the best D4S bulbs, so that's why I got them. I got DDM Tuning for my fogs because Garax doesn't make bulbs in the size I'm using.

you may have ordered them, but if your stock low beams are the d4s bulbs, you aren't going to get lows shipped...I ordered mine by choosing the car I have (IS350), and then choosing 1xlow, and 1xfog...i then realized I could just get bulbs for the lows since I already had hid's, so I called in to change my order and thats when they told me they do not have any d4s bulbs and wont for another 6-12 months. I canceled my order, and now will be going with garax lows, and ddm tuning fogs...so you may want to give hidextra a shout if you think your getting d4s's

I have some brand new HID kits that I ordered my a few cars for some family members if you are interested. They are made by Kelvin Lighting and technology. They use phillips bulbs and the ballasts are made from china and they go for $125/kit. I have no need for them so and they ahve been sitting in my closet for the past month.

I have:

2 - 6000K H11 Kits
1 - 3000K 9006 Kit
1 - 6000K 9006 Kit

Let me know if you are interested I'll let em go for $80 shipped.

Let me know if you change your mind because i'm not trying real hard to list them for sale so most likely they'll be sitting in the closet. I might get around to installing them if I have time to.
