pretty bored today, so i figured id write a review on these bulbs. i bought a set of these new philips HID bulbs. kind of a waste of money on my part since i hardly if ever drive at night. finally got a chance to put an hour or so of runtime on them recently and im quite impressed.
quick summary: - true 5000K temperature vs stock at 4000K - no flickering - made in germany - 3500 lumens (supposedly) vs stock at 3300 lumens - 2 year warranty! - MSRP = $185 here at theretrofitsource (look out for coupons! they frequently post on FB/twitter or email you with 15-20% off deals) TLDR: theyre great bulbs. i have no flickering. they are noticeably whiter AND brighter than the stock koito bulbs. best part is that im 100% sure theyre genuine. dont buy cheap bulbs from ebay people!!! packaging: ![]() ![]() individual bulbs: ![]() actual bulb. MADE IN GERMANY: ![]() color differences. everyone's monitor will look different, but the parking light bulb i have is a 6K white bulb. the difference is astounding. the other set of bulbs i had were Garax 6K white (got rid of them because they reduced the lumen output and id rather have more light than a nice color) and they matched the parking bulb exactly. i wish i took a pic of the difference between the parking bulb and the stock koito bulb because the stock koito bulb is insanely yellow in comparison ![]() "useless" distance pic: ![]() Last edited by chops; 09-09-2014 at 11:50 AM. |

![]() Because this happens when you increase the color temp:
