I kinda want to buy the more expensive Phillips 6K bulbs...but $15 is temping.

Does anyone have them and how long have them been in your car and used?

Just to update. I did buy the bulbs. It's been about a year. I went for the 6K bulbs, and noticed after the switch, i did lose some ability to see due to the bump in color, but not enough to complain about.

A year later, the bulbs still work fine, but the passenger side one won't relight if i turn the lights off, and then on again within a few mins. If i turn the headlights off, i need to wait 5 mins or so before i turn on for both lights to come on. Usually not an issue though.

So for $15..can't complain. I still have my OEM bulbs in working shape..so can always go back if something blows

Try DDM Tuning, my xenons on my 04 sport sedan went out. Stock G35's do not have xenon, it is an option. I replaced my stock Phillips xenon bulbs with 6K burning at 35W for $35 for a pair. No problems so far, "Knock on wood". they light up instantly, love the color not as visible at night though compared to the stock 4500K 45W bulbs.
