I guess I missed the group buy, but how's the review on these HID (6000) bulbs? I want to get a pair, but not sure why these are $40 while the Garax (carlighttrends.com) are like $95. Can't beat the price, but don't want to give up the quality on them either.

Honestly- it's because of our expenses. We are in a very low cost building. We use free VOIP service for our phones from Google. Our advanced inventory hardware and software allows us to keep large quantities on hand, so we don't have to charge more to deter stockouts. We use lower-cost forum advertising instead of spending thousands on Google Adwords every month like many other companies. Our web design and marketing is all in-house. Our bulbs don't come in fancy (expensive) labeling and packaging.

Low expenses = low prices.

And these are probably the exact same bulbs, we just offer them for a lower price. Thanks!

Check DIY forum, access is thru the front tire wells to replace bulbs. Front bumper removal not necessary.

Yeah but removing the wheel was necessary... couldn't get in there otherwise, and my hands are relatively small too. Also, when putting them back together, make sure the cables aren't obstructing the AFS range of motion, I have to go back in there tomorrow and rearrange my wires because the AFS is acting up

Oh, ok! You got me worried there. I know it's not the same coming from me, but I have 8000K bulbs installed in my own 09 G37x and its a much nicer look.

I have 6000K and they look good. DD, do you offer 5000k? I think next time I'll go with those if you do, these ones are a tiiiiiiny bit too blue for me.

Also, do you have AFS? I accidentally tapped the part that moves and for some reason now AFS doesn't work. I made sure the wires weren't being blocked too, but still no luck.

Any pictures? So I am just worried about light output, are these just as bright as oem or are they a little less than OEM. Also please post pics on the 5000k and 6000k! I want a blue look but not to blue!
