honestly if your running the $100 garax I dont think you will see a difference worth investing another $90 on as they are very very close.

Hoen is infamous around these parts
Brutal honesty right there but he is right

For the first time investment however I feel we have a whiter bulb, a more competitive price and 3 times longer warranty.

You could look in your owner's manual - it shows D2S.

Look what arrived just in time for Christmas
Thanks HOEN for excellent service...

Side markers and LED assembly bulb replacement seems easy. However does anyone have DIY diagrams/instructions on how to replace the bulb in the main front headlight assembly? How to pull it out?
...before I start fiddling around in there.

Well it's been 2.5 years - bulbs have worked great, but now am getting a dipping error on one of my front bulbs. I guess it needs to be replaced.

Can't find the originals on Hoen's site. Does any one know if they still sell them?

Hoen? Are you guys still in business?

Hoen is still around - just ordered from them in the last couple of weeks. But they don't have any D2S bulbs. Are you sure a bad bulb is causing a dipping error? Not sure why it would.

Not 100% sure, but seems to be the cause with other folks who have had the same error.

I guess I have to go with Philips Ultinon in that case.

Make sure you get the real Philips - I've bought from this guy...and he's in BC.
