I ordered Philips D2S 6000K bulbs on the internet and came in plastic canisters with no markings. On the base of the bulb it says

Philips Germany
D2S 35W
E516
85122 WX

Anyway to find out they are the 6000k?

Hmmm this is the package my bulb came with and I purchased mine off Ebay. If I recall correctly, Philips HID bulbs with the purple pole are the Ultinons/6000K. I just pulled off one of my bulbs and the base reads

Philips Germany E216
D2S 35W 85122 WX
Not for use in Europe/USA

Thanks for taking the time to check! Mine shipped in these plastic canisters with no markings (see below). It does have the purple pole eventhough it looks blue in the pic. I bought them from suvlights.com and they assured me they are the 6000k but just wanted to double check I bought what I paid for. Thanks again!

I got philips 6000k Ultinons they didnt have a purple pole, I dont think, its been a while since I had them, just put them in, if they dont look blue your ok, lol

Glad I could help. I think your bulbs are authentic, but it was just packaged in those plastic containers to save on cost. I've seen mixed reviews about SUVlights, but I'm hoping you got the real stuff! Only way to find out is install them and use them as much as you can. Your bulbs will appear more white in the beginning, but the more you use them...the more they shift to a purple hue.

Don't you need h7 bulbs if you dont have the bi-xenons?

W211 Ryda

correct

I am picking up an 07 next week but it only has premium 1. My 06 has 2 and I will miss the lights. i am a bit confused on this, can i just by any 600k h7 and put it in for sweet blue lighting?

Watch after the install and turn them on they turn "pink".

Yikes....I used the "Search" on this board and that's why I went with suvlights. I guess I should have research more but they do look authentic and they seemed to be honest. We'll report after the install this weekend.

If your new car has the halogen headlight assembly, sure you could install an H7 HID kit, but the caveat would be...LOTS of glare that will end up blinding oncoming traffic. Halogen headlight assemblies are usually not designed to correctly project the amount of light that xenon bulbs emit. Please refer to this post and you'll see the glare I'm referring to.

Those look like the are not fake. Philips ultinon has the famous "blood capsule" in the middle which according to your pictures it does. looks real to me

I ordered them years ago on autolamps-online for my Lexus. They had a nice look to them.

Installed them today and I like them.

Now the PIAA city bulbs to match the stock HID is now too yellow. The Hoen fogs are also too light. Those who have the 6000K, what city bulbs and fogs did you switch too?

Thanks!

I have led city lights and hid fog light kit
