I too want to replace my aging HID's as they are starting to flicker occasionally. I found an interesting post on a Prius forum, see link. Basically states that the Harrison japan bulb superseded the OEM. Hopefully, someone else can confirm this.

get Toshiba, its really good. same color as OEM. or most people here get Garax 6000k to get more whiter color. im selling my Toshiba d4s if u want. Only used it for few days, i dont like OEM color personally.

the XenonDepot 5000k are whiter than stock, but not as blue as the 6000k bulbs. Good compromise to not sacrifice output, but provide a cleaner color.

there is a thread in the 2IS forum where they compare the ebay "philips" bulbs to authentic ones. its a good thread with pics to compare

I also agree with the other posters about the Xenondepot bulbs. I have the 5000Ks and they provide a nice crisp color.

The thing with ebay is if the price is too good to be true, it probably is some kind of counterfeit item.

There is a lot of fake Philips bulbs on the market so you really have to careful when shopping online for one.

We put together a great review on how to identify the difference between a genuine Philips bulb and a fake one.

How to spot the difference between real and fake Philips HID bulbs and here is part two of the comparison.

As an authorized Philips dealer, we only sell genuine Philips products so let me know if you have further questions.
