I installed these 6000K bulbs yesterday. Given they were less than $20 a pair delivered, I bought two sets in case they die.
I had no expectation that they would be any good however I was pleasantly surprised to find that they appear to be a very good match for the current gen OEM HIDs out there. They are definitely 'whiter' than the stock D1S globes I had (interestingly one was a Philips and one an Osram) and they give very good output.
I suspect they are probably counterfeit, but they do have Philips stickers on them with 'assembled in Germany' on them.
Colour match with the LED DRLs is now excellent. Considering the Philips Xenarc bulbs are normally about $160 a pair this is a bargain.
Note that I have the Dynamic Xenons, this is a straight bulb swap only, not an HID retrofit.
Apologies for the awful pic but the LED DRLs may even be a slightly lower colour temp than these bulbs...
