I agree that the $30 ones and the 2 for $55 shipped are obviously fakes, problem for me is the intermediate priced ones- the $80-100 for a pair look really similar to the real in the picture and not much like the fakes from what I can tell, any one have any success or issue with these?

Your best bet is to buy them from our vendors, that way you know your getting the legit product

Steve, looking at your less expensive non-philips D4S bulbs, is there a 6000 that you are out of stock in or are they only available in the 6500? (Looking for white not blue) Thanks

According to Philips, the D4S 42402WX 6000k Ultinon bulbs produce approximately 2400-2500 lumens, which is roughly 20% less then stock.
I personally am a fan of the XenonDepot 5000k D4S HID bulbs, as they provide you with crisper color output then stock, and, you pretty well maintain similar light output. You also can't go wrong with the price - Save $20/bulb by using coupon code CLGB08 upon checkout - for a limited time

Replace d4s with d2s
Ultinons are too dim in my opinion. They're 2400 or 2600 lumen instead of 3200 lumen for the original Philips Xeneco D4S bulb. I'm removing the D4S ballast this weekend and replacing it with a D2S so I can run Osram CBI's. They're rated 5500k at 3200 lumen. Best of both worlds.
I am interested in this conversion too as I also like higher lumens and better color. Is it simple to do? I have a 2006 SC430 that I would like to convert. Is this possible on a SC? Can you please post DIY or just some helpful tips.
Thanks.

HI,
It would be a simple bulb replacement. The SC uses a D4S HID bulb meaning that you would simply need to order a replacement D4S HID bulb.

I am using Philips Ultinon 6000K D4S bulbs at present. I love the color but desire higher lumens!
Thus, coming back to my question: Is the conversion simple. So far I have gathered that I need Denso slim D2S ballasts and the OSRAM bulbs. However, I have more questions:
Does the ballast fit where the existing one is? Do I need to splice the wires to use the D2S ballast? Finally, does the D2S bulb work in the D4S housing? This could be a deal killer if I cannot use the new bulb in the old housing?
Please help.

Thanks Steve. I actually am interested in converting the D4S to D2S so that I can go with an OSRAM 5500K D2S bulbs rated at 3200 lumens. This way I can get the color output and the lumens

Have you thought about simply getting a 5000K D4S bulb to make the process easier?
