No those look like fakes. The Phillips Ultinon 6000k has an electric blue ignition stick and comes in a blue box with Japanese writing and the English words Philips Ultinon 6000K Flash White

I agree with Batman. Those don't even look like the real thing.

This is still the best deal that I've seen on these bulbs: http://www.cargym.com/philips-6000k-...bs-p-2003.html

I have successfully ordered stuff from them before, and can vouch for them.

I do but its not a realistic picture because it looks blue in the photos.

Basically its the same white you get from a camera flash. There is not any hint of blue, but a tiny hint of cream. Its optimized to balance appearance and performance.

If you want pure looks the Garax will be nicer - whiter with a hint of blue, but with Garax you can't see properly.

I love my Philips Ultinon 6000K and will put them on my BMW 550i when that arrives too.

I mean I did see it and the lens looks purple on another members, but i really want to know the distance as the Garax didn't look far enough and hence the reason I still have stock in there. I really just want a distance picture!

NO, they are FAKE!!!!! I can make 99.99% sure!!

If you already purchase from them, welcome to use their product and compare with mine!




Philips do NOT have D3S 6000K yet and they already have it.

Check the following webpage.

http://philips.page-view.jp/Automoti...html?page_num=


Also, another trick, the last sentences.

This is for a set of 2 Philips Ultinon Xenon Burners

They are using the philips burners only and make in China/Taiwan and selling for $200.
Biggest rip of ever! Even worst than ebay seller who is trying to rip you $70 only.

I agreed with Nigel, please do not order from cargym and made the same mistake as i did. Their Philips ultinon bulbs are fakes with no red salt in the middle. There is no imprint state made from Germany. I contacted the seller and made a big deal said i will post up on the internet that their bulbs are fake and he argeed to give me refund. I ended up get the Garax but once it burn out, I will defintely go the Nigel to try out the real Philips 6000k.

I have a pair of Philips Ultinon D4S 6K that I've been using for a couple months now and have decided to go back to my PIAA 5500. I really love the blue hue of the Philips. But at least for a while I want more light output on the road so going back to PIAA at least for now. With that said I'm willing to sell these at a great discount. Hit me up if you're interested.

The seller is simply selling a 6000k philips bulb ..he is NOT selling an Ultinon bulb ...the description doesnt say he is selling Ultinons.. he is selling a XenEco bulb with part number 42402 if you look closely

So can you go ahead and tell me, or anyone for that matter, what the exact difference is between this Philips XenEco 6K bulb and the Philips Ultinon 6K bulb? Thanks...

The XenEco 6k gives a blue hint.. i dont like it ..you will look rice.. you are better off with stock 4300k (or 4100k).. on the other hand, the real Ultinons are pure white according to people who has them ..i dont have this yet, but I will soon.. there is a GB set up by Nigel ...sign up!!!!!!!!!
