I did a quick search for threads concerning NGK plugs it appears that few people use them as no (-) or (+) comments.
I bought some (the price was right on Ebay) for my diesel Volvo but they are my spares as I have champions in the engine now.
After you have had them in a year or so be sure to post your experience with them.
This company has a sale on the Bosch 80006 glow plugs ang $8.53 each and you get free UPS ground shipping if you order $50 or more. I bought 6 plugs and got the free shipping. (They also sell injector heat sheilds for $1.06 each.)

They my also have the ones for your vehicle on sale.
The reason I mention this is that the NGKs seem to cost more and even the regular price on the Bosch plugs has gone up. Why pay more for the NGK plugs if the Bosch ones will do the job.
I bought 2 extra sets of from them. When I have trouble I want to be able to fix it as soon as possible and not be forced to by the higher priced ones because I need them now.
Any way thoses are my thoughts.

NGK makes good spark plugs, whatever you do stay way the hell away from auto lite. My car came with several AL with broken tips and three prechambers that were missing bottoms.

Thumbs up

I'd run them if the price was right.

It is not a price, it is a availability thing. I will try a couple of them. Thanks

At least in my area NAPA can get Bosch plugs with a one-day wait-shipping out of the warehouse in Sac. Auto Zone used to carry them in stock, but they don't anymore.
