Default Phillips d4s fake or real??

Hi peeps!!
My friend gave me a set of Phillips d4s XenEco 6000k and I was wondering if you guys with a little more knowledge can help me out in determining if it is real or fake!

Thanks heaps

How much did you purchase it for?

Based on the pictures, it does seem to look genuine. Need other angle pictures of the bulb to be sure.

Check this video out, this can help you verify as well.

Thanks for your reply! My close friend gave it to me as he purchased it but never got around to using it. If it is not genuine then I will not risk installing it in my car.

Thanks

It's hard to say.

You can check the authenticity of the Philips D4S 6000k bulbs that we carry because they will track on this page:

http://www.authenticity.philips.com

Did your friend give you the box as well? If so, there should be an authenticity code on it.

Try it on it won't damage anything I also bought cheap lightbulb before from amazon.com, and they work ok.

Worst case scenario you can take advantage of our 20% off sale, and save on a pair of genuine new ones
