Default XTREME 3000K HID or Philips 3000k HID?

Ok guys, this question I saw in the search but I want to ask it again because maybe there are new inputs..

From what I gather, XTREME HID 3k is made from Japan ? There is a significant difference in price. Yes , some people say philips is more expensive because its a well known quality, so u are paying for name and quality?

THOUGH, can anyone tell me that they can REALLY see the difference in quality from Philips to XTreme version?

Does philips 3000k HID produce a more INTENSE or DEEPER yellow than Xtreme?

There is roughly a $200 difference in pricing, I have never personally seen XTreme nor Philips 3000k in real life so I can't base it on anything except for the opinions on here..

The Philips does have a more intense yellow. But for the difference I dont know if its worth the $200.

The Philips capsule will offer you a slightly deeper yellow.

Howver, the 3000k Xtreme will still look great!

In terms of quality, from my experience (we have been selling both lines for several years now), I would not hesitate not to by the Xtreme kit if you are concerned about quality.

Thats a big YES =)

XenonDepot has been selling HID lighting products since 2001. Our number one source of business is word of mouth and satisfied customers. We would not sell a product line that is not good as we would not have satisfied customers or referrals. Furthermore, we do stand behind our products should there be a problem meaning that if the kit had a high failure rate it would not be in our best interest to sell you the product.

I love the xtreme 3000K... reasonable price and good quality.

I like the Philips' yellow(er) color more although I will probably not spending the extra $200.
