I shop on amazon for the fast free shipping if your a prime member, and this bulb came across. I figure amazon won't be selling fakes. It's sold by per bulb. But I don't think $50 is bad for each bulb.

Have you even tried the genuine Ultinon 6000K? I was pretty happy when I had mine over the stock bulbs and were bright enough. Lumens compared to the other brands of 6000K out there.

The Ultinon 5000K does looks like a yellowish white. If you are expecting white with a little bit of yellow, then this would not be the one you want and rather go with the 6000K option.

I'm fine with that. Not looking for even a hint of blue in my headlights. (Blue means less light output).

I posted this on a reply on the GS thread, but since I don't actually own a GS but an IS figured I post here too and get some more opinion.
I just received one from eBay, but I did not pay $100, it was close to the full price. Before I try these on, can anyone help confirm I have the real deal and not a fake? I'm a bit paranoid with the insulator tube not being pearly blue, tell me I did not drop $250 for a fake!?!!

Gladly, but I'm at work right now. But if you look at the first page and third photo posted by sango, the box looks exactly like the one on the right. Also I got a reply from the seller stating that they do not sell counterfeits, unlike d1, d2 bulbs d4 being mercury free do not have red salt?

Yup - they are real?
What did you pay for them if you don't mind me asking?
Just curious, as we are selling them for $232.22 shipped (Using the current spring promo code listed on the site):

I'll keep you guys in mind next time, thanks for your help. Here's what the box looks like..
I have them installed now, surprisingly they look yellower than the stock. It's the same way when I installed the Morimoto 5k, it wasn't until a week later they started to change. Hopefully the Ultinon will look better once they break in.

Yeah that's what confused me also, maybe the comparison was made with a non d4 bulb? My morimotor was xb35 which had red salt, a buddy of mine just got the morimotor xengreen (mercury free) which had no red salt both are D4s

So by reading all these and a lot of other threads are we still considering the XD 5000k best if you want crisp white output (with no yellow) and garax 6k if you want a white with a hint of blue as the leading brands - not counting philips 6k because of the cost. Or has another brand pop up to take over the market for D4S bulbs. I want great visibility and a while with maybe a hint of blue. Please LMK
