Question Philip HID Bulb

I have question about the Philip HID bulbs
How much are they? I saw one site that they selling it $2XX Which is here : http://www.philipsxenon.com/lexus-c-...ips-hid-p-1254
just want to make sure that I'm not buying anything fake from online. since it's very common nowadays
Also, which one is better for the fog light? 4300K? or 6000K? Thanks ^^
Or beside Philip, is there any other good brand that is awesome light output and cheaper that Philip?

If you are referring about the stock Philips HID 4300K then it's around $150-$160ish for a pair. If you are referring to Philips Ultinon HID 5000K/6000K bulbs are about 230+ for a pair.

PhilipsXenon looks suspicious, I would not trust them. For one thing, the their HID conversion kit does not look like the authentic one. You can see it my thread here.

The safest place to get Philips products would be from two CL Forms Vendors. Either, Nigel-JDMParts or XenonDepot.

For fog light, either or. 4300K will have the best output of all and 6000K will have the best color for the output. For me, I went with 6000K HID fogs. My next upgrade would be changing to HID projector fogs which can really help with the functionality of being able to see wide and further down the road. In doing so, I will be changing bulbs again and will go with 6500K from 6000K.

As for other good brands which could match the light output of Philips, there is not any.

Cargym carries counterfeit Philips. Don't purchase from them.
