Default Osram CBI's from Amazon Europe

This is for those looking to get Osram CBI's for a great price without having to worry about fakes. Most US online retailers charge $150-170USD for ONE of these bulbs.

I happened to be checking Amazon europe sites, and found that Amazon Spain sells a PAIR of these for 101 Euros shipped to North America, which works out to $110 USD. They are sold by Amazon and not some 3rd party seller, so rest assured they are not fakes. I had some doubts at first, but received them today and they are just perfect. Best of all, it only took a week to ship from UK to Canada.

CL won't let me paste Amazon.es links for some reason, I tried but the link sends you to Amazon.ca or Amazon.com

Go to Amazon.es and type osram d4s. It's the first result.

Use Chrome so it translates to English

Luckily they didn't put "bombillas" on the shipping label, that would've caused some panic at customs.

I've ordered mine from Powerbulbs.com

It's authentic Osram product with serial.

The only down side is that it took 2 weeks to get US (from UK with tracking).

If you can wait, it's worth it.

It's currently at 89.99 Euro,which is $124.19

Currently, they are offering 20% discount. Total brings it down to 71.99 euro = US $99.35 free shipping.

I've been to that site before, are you sure you are talking about 2 bulbs though? The one on Amazon is a 2-pack. Powerbulbs is selling for $137.99USD - even after 20% discount, it is just also $110USD. Where are you seeing $99.35?

There are many fake CBI's around which is why I'm hesitant to buy from just any online retailer.

I use CBI'S in all my vehicles. It's a cleaner white and illuminates the sides better giving you a better "spread". Here they are matched up with 6k phillips ultinon led fogs. These pics were taken during the CBI'S "break-in" period.




Here's a link to them at trs.

I am planning to order a Philips X-treme Ultinon from Amazon Japan, but PowerBulbs has 20% off right now, so the Osram will be £79.99 after coupon, really good deal! . Which one you guys think is better between Osram and Philips?

I think they raised the price today. It was $89.99 EURO when I checked yesterday.

It is Twin bulbs as shown above pictures.

Either way, it's a heck alot cheaper than buying from US online retailers like TRS... hope it helps fellow 4GS owners!

Just placed an order from Powerbulbs, paid extra for Fedex shipping 2-5 days. Do I need to align after install?

The bulbs goes in one way if you install them correctly. No need to align.
