The switchbacks are from V-Led's and I got the 6K HID's from www.hidextra.com.

I know I've pimped hidextra.com before on this forum. But honestly for inexpensive bulbs they are great! Been running them for nearly two years with no issues or flicker in the TL. Even bought a conversion kit for my bike; and again super high quality and no issues.

How much weaker are the aftermarket HID bulbs compared to 85122+ bulbs? I'd rather take the brighter output with mismatch.

I'm using iJDMtoys HID 6k with switchbacks and DDM tuning 6k fogs. I think its a perfect combo.
