Default Real Ultinon? or just Philips 6000k

Is this box made in USA? Manufactured in Philips USA for USA sales? How can you tell if it's a Ultinon or not?

First thing is that Philips Ultinon aka Cool Power Xenon are not for sale in USA or Europe. They are Illegal for US and Europeans roads. They are made in germany and legal every where in Asia. Its easy to tell if it is a Stock D2S or D2R Bulb. Check this link posted by Texas Style it will describe what the bulb should look like. If the bulb has been rebased like if you have a 9006 kit you wll have to look at the bulb itself and note its features

Philips 6000k's are Ultinon's.

All of those in the pictures you posted are real packages for the Ultinon's. Those are the REBASED packagest for people who supply them in kits. The last picture you posted are just the bulbs themselves (not rebased to fit 9006 cars).

What I'm saying is ... the last pic you posted is for cars who already have HID's and can fit those type bulbs. The others are bulbs that have new bases to fit into cars without HID's originally.

Note that the first two pics you have posted are two that I have owned myself. My second came with my first genuine Philips 6000k kit and the second came with my replacement. The second one is the new packaging.

this is the kit i have (the second one). like others say, they are all packaged outside of US coz' 6000k is illegal here in the US, and then they are being sold here (don't ask me about the channels). philips themselves they don't sell rebased hid themselves, at least from what i know, so it's other companies that rebase the bulbs to 9006 or other application and package the whole hid kit

Thanks to all for replying with great info. So I guess it's up to me to decide on 4300k or 6000k for my projector lens ES300.
