Already have Garax on the car right now..

But it has a 14 days return policy I will do more research to confirm its authenticity if anything I will return it.

Any update? I'm thinking of purchasing them also. How's the color? I just installed morimoto 5k and could not tell the difference from stock. So I've been thinking about the Ultinon.

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!?!!

Those appear to be fake, I do not see the red spot inside the light bulb like real phillips. Once you light them up the first time the red goes away.
