Don't think there's anything fake about them, just a bit surprised to see the base text saying not for US or Europe.
Made in Germany for the Japanese market? Japan drives on the right, like the UK/Ireland and some others.
That'd suggest they're for RHD vehicles, which doesn't make a lot of sense - you don't change bulbs when driving on the Continent, just adjust the lights to change the beam spread so as not to dazzle oncoming traffic.
Of course, it could be a simple ploy to mark grey imports out from officially imported ones, which would indicate the Japanese pay less for theirs.

Hey guys, I've been on the Philips website, how come there isn't an ultinon choice?

These ebay ones less than 1/2 of actual cost are all FAKE.
Do a Google search Japan for the Philips ultinon you will find pictures showing the difference in terms of packaging and some labeling.
That said, these fake ones do look decent for the price.
