Philips ultinon d2s light question?
Hi, is it true that on these bulbs it says (not for use in europe or usa)?
Also has anyone found the perfect matched city/ h.i.d fog lights for these bulbs? i searched around and got different responses ....
I noticed from the ones i searched were older posts, checking to see if someone could post some updated photos?
I want some city lights that match perfectly along with h.i.d fogs that give no errors.
Im debating on either 6000k or 8000k ..... i know all about the losing output thing but after doing research im leaning towards 6000k.

can someone please drop a link to a thread or even a site that tells you the wattage/volt guide for our cars?
or can someone simply just tell me what it is for the 9006 fog lights? thanks.

Nothing comes even close to matching the Philips Ultinon bulbs except another pair of Ultinons in the fog lights. I tried 6000K Piaa normal bulbs, and a Carlab 6000K xenon kit in the fogs. I had to switch to Ultinons. I now have the Ultinon 6000Ks in both my BiX and fogs.

and if you want to match the 8000K ones, I use PIAA Spark 8000K and they match pretty well. The description says it matches with PIAA Plasma Spark Blue 7500K and PIAA Spark 8000K headlights too as you can see from this link.

Oh ok ... well i decided to go with 6600k and am having the hardest time trying to find out which bulbs for fogs would match best with them. Im going to stall on the HID set up untill i upgrade my bumper. So what do you think would be the best fit?

There are some lamps from Philips that are 50W and 6000 degrees K, that will fit in an automotive lamp socket. They are intended for stage/studio use. It would be wrong to use them in your car.
