Default Philips Ultinon D4S 6000k (PICTURES)

I just received my bulbs today in the mail I paid $100 for it! As I compare to some of the other original bulbs I'm assuming it looks genuine bulbs and not fake!

I posted pictures below of how the box came in and how it looks! I would like opinions and what you guys think! Thank you guys!

Also sorry for the big pictures.

Well my packaging looked different it came with a hard case I think the stalk had a bit of sparkle to it not really sure though, have you installed them yet. No offense I'm just highly doubtful that they are legit seeing as most members, including me paid way more for them.

Those appear to be fake as real phillips have a tiny red salt inside of the bulb that many fakes do not have.

I bought mine from a vendor here 2yrs ago and my packaging was different than yours. Mine came in a hard case inside the main box (not individual boxes). For $100 , I would think those pictured are knock-off Phillips.

That doesn't look like the real Phillips website, notice it says PhillipsXenon. A pair of authentic bulbs will run about $300. Think about it this way, if genuine Phillips bulbs cost $100 why would people buy Xenon Depot bulbs for a similar price?

Contact ClubLexus Vendor: Nigel JDM Parts. I've purchased a pair of bulbs and a set of Lexus OEM window visors from him without issues.

It's funny how a lot if people here are claiming its fake without even seeing the quality of the light first. All they said was they paid more than that. Didn't realize spending more money make it official "Philips" bulbs. Have you installed it yet? Would love to see the quality of the lights.

I don't think it's that funny, the original question was to determine if the bulbs where fake...

Here is what xRYD3Rx said... "... I posted pictures below of how the box came in and how it looks! I would like opinions and what you guys think! Thank you guys!"

I do like your new question though, I'd be interested in hearing how these compare to the actual product!

Theres no need to spot the quality of the light. There are clues to spot if it is or not a fake. The most important issue with fakes is that longevity. They melt or break and do not last aslong as original. Ive read some break in a lil over a few months.

Heres a link they may help you guys
