Default Headlight bulb Question

Hey all,
I'm wondering if anyone out there has had some experience with phillips xenons as opposed to the Toshiba Harisson OEMs part # 90981-20024. Am I gonna look like a fool if I have the phillips on the right and the Toshiba Harrison on the left? Thanks in advance guys! The Phillips are way cheaper!

It's always better to replace both head light bulbs at the same time so the colours match. Over time the bulbs fade and just replacing one bulb will most times leave you with two different colour headlights or one bright new looking bulb and one old fading bulb.

Gotcha. It doesn't appear that anyone has tried the philips D4S's. Well I guess it's worth a shot they're a heck of a lot cheaper; someone stop me if they suck.

Plenty of people have used the philips D4S. As for the haris being a lot more money; that's only true if you buy your bulbs at the dealership or at Autozone or similar. If you're paying more than $50 each, then you're paying too much and you don't know how to shop. It's not difficult to get Philips, Haris, or Sylvania for about $35-$40 each.

Wow, you told me. Thanks, I think.
