Are Xenondepot HID's using Phillip Bulb and Ballast? i ordered myself one 9006 4300k and i don't see any where on the box or the bulbs base print their brand "PHILLIP". Does any one here have the phillip bulbs case. Thanks

Did you buy the Philips kit? This one is more $ then their "normal" HID kit. When they had the GB, the Philips were $400 while the non Philips were $300.

it doesnt say philips on the bulbs because those get grinded down for the rebasing process. I got the 4300k philips kit myself.

yeah that's always the case, they have to rebase the bulb
