Huh, i dunno about there. It doesnt say anything about bulbs having a waranty or anything and they call oem 5000k when its really 4300k. The ones I posted earlier from ddmlights.com are only $35 a pair and come with lifetime waranty. Plus I have read on several BMW and Mazda forums that they are quality lights and will not go out on you.

Agree...

Def. cheaper at the site you posted.


I can't believe the HID kits cost $39.99 these days.

OMG...

I once paid $800 for 9006 kit 7 yrs ago.

Damn, thats like worse than TV's. A few years ago a 50" LCD could easily run like 3K plus. Now you can get them for like under 2K. Thats technology for ya.

Here is MY review on the Phillips 6oooK bulbs:

https://www.myg37.com/forums/body-in...ial-price.html


Here is Max's review on HP Auto's 6oooK

https://www.myg37.com/forums/body-in...iewed-mmm.html

Here is Brians review of EliteEV's 6oooK
https://www.myg37.com/forums/body-in...-stunning.html

Phillips Bulbs are by far the best on the market however they are also the most expensive. When considering aftermarket bulbs German and Japanese are best/better. So make sure you ask where they were manufactured. Stay away from all others.

Dont' buy DDM, i got them well HID kit the 2 sides don't match up so I sent them back, which i had to pay for shipping both ways and when i got them back they still didn't match up. So i gave up on them Wasted 90 bucks.

My HPautowork 6k is around the middle one too. 6k should be pure white with a hint of blue.
