I know this thread is old but if anyone is still reading, just a heads up that I found a place here in the US that sells the Polarg J-51. The place is called Sigma Automotive and you can email Edward at, info@sigmaautomotive.com regarding them. They are $39 with $8 shipping. I am placing an order for them today.

Also, I got the Raybrig RC361 LED bulbs from them too. The brightness is pretty good but too blue for my stock 4300K HIDs. I will try to post pics of them this weekend. I will be putting the Polarg M4s back in and selling the Raybrigs in the classified forum.

i ordered these for my gf, she has sc400 and we will be installing a kaixen 6500K HID in the next couple of weeks which is going to be pure white, so i think these LEDs will be PERFECT. At the moment she has the stock headlights with pure white 9006 bulbs in, so i will post pictures of that as well so people can get ideas.

i also ordered a set for my car, but i'm using them on the interior, i have courtesy lights and i want to see how well these work, if they are to my liking, i'm going to do my whole interior with these.

Did you verify with them if they're currently in stock? If so what is their ETA on shipping? The place I ordered from said 1-2 weeks.

hmm 6500k being "pure white"? im a little worried about your expectations of these bulbs. the 4300k HID is the closest to PURE white that you can get really, this has been discussed numerous times throughout the board here on CL...the higher up you go, 5000k/6000k/6500k/8000k the more blue, then the more purple you get...which would mean if these polargs j51s are pushing around the 4300k they clame to come close to matching, they will not match your lights and your 6500k hids will have a tinge of blueish purple to them, not "pure" white as you mentioned...hope that doesnt mess up your plans any, just wanted to let you know.

I agree. The product literature from Polarg's website states that the bulbs are 4800K so it may not match the 6500K HIDs.

BTW the naked bulbs shown here
http://www.xtremewhite.com/ORD-Light...39-1-1-1-1.cfm
are definitely not the J-51s I have. The box shown IS the J-51 packaging but perhaps the naked bulb shown is a typo error.

I was worried whether my personal experience with this bulb was placebo effect so its always good to have more members post their feedback and photos of this new product.

doesnt matter, still wont be a close match. like i said, 4300k is the closest to "pure white/natural sunlight" you can get. the 6000k will still have a blueish tint to them. my friend has a 6k set in his 300 and they definitely are no where close to my 4300k xenon depot kit..his absolutely have a color to them- so will yours, and these bulbs wont match that.

maybe they won't match exactly, but i'm sure they will set it off nicely.

Never received these last year, had to cancel order, there was a problem with Edward's supplier. Because of this, I cannot really recommend Sigma.

I do really like dealing with eautoworks.com and xtremewhite.com , which are 2 different web fronts for the same e-business.
I just ordered the Polarg J-51 Hyper White LED P2310W from eautoworks.com.

So any of you guys received your J-51's yet? I'll be getting mine on thursday. Can't wait.

Also, do any of you know how I can remove a bulb that falls into the housing? When I tried taking out my old LEDs one popped off and fell into the housing. I tried scooping it towards the hole but made it worst cause I can't see the bulbs at all anymore.
