6000k/6700k d1s bulbs from vendors

sidekick96 · 02-29-2012, 02:06 AM

hello again,

for those of you who bought either the 6000k or 6700k d1s bulbs from vendors on forums such as e92-lighting, highperformancebulbs, sonic. Did you guys like your purchases? Some vendors claim to have legit Philips bulbs but when I look at the pics of the bulbs throughout forums, they all look somewhat different.

if you ended up purchasing from a few of the ones I mentioned above or some that I hadn't, can you leave a brief feedback? This may help others as well. We can try this format:

vendor:
manufacturer/brand: Philips ultinon
temp: 6000k o 6700k
time used: 1 year 3 mo.
likes:
dislikes:

one of my main concerns is longevity and color consistency, did your bulbs start fading in color after using it for x amount of time?
