Philips Automotive Lighting D2S Authentic Xenon HID Headlight Bulb with 4200K Intense White Light, Fits Select High Beam and Low Beam Positions, 1 Pack

Headlight works as it should. And the price is so much more affordable than at the auto shop! Great value and quality!

Item shipped well packaed and on time. Authentic packaging ans item. this fit perfectly in my e46 coupe, restored the brightness my older OEM bulbs had lost over the years. Working perfect so far!

I bought an off-brand, a 2-pack for about $35, which was great until one bulb decided to come on only when it wanted to. Took my JGC SRT to the dealer for service and asked them to diagnose whether it's a bad bulb or another issue. Dealer was nice to give me a free diag. Cost from them to replace both bulb was $850 + $250 per bulb. Service manager told me if a new bulb does not fix the issue, then I may need to replace the ballast. WTH!!!!!I decided to save over $1K, buy a known brand - Philips, which I believe is also OEM. O'Reilly's had this same bulb for twice the cost. Folks there are awesome, but I bought two here for the price of one there.Long story short. Both bulbs are working great, but the installation is a major pain! Took me over an hour the first time I installed the driver side bulb and only 15 minutes for the passenger side.This second time the driver's side took me 15 minutes and the passenger side took me an hour. You can YouTube vids on how to replace these headlight bulbs, which can be done, not really hard, but a major pain. Wear cheap silicon gloves to protect your hand.Quick tips: You will need to remove your air filter to get to the driver's side. You'll need to move the ECU over a bit on the passenger side.Very difficult, near impossible to see what you are doing. I used my phone to take a vid of the open bulb compartment to get a "visual". You will have to install by "touch". Removing the bulb was pretty easy.Bottom line, great buy, great value. Good luck on the installation. Grab a beer or two or three. Cheers!

Bought two Sunday night (October 25th) and received them today (Wednesday October 28th) using standard FREE shipping. Nice!Looks like the real deal - Philips bulbs- I have no reason to believe otherwise based on packaging and bulb appearance. Great price at almost half of what Auto Parts stores sell these for. They work fine and have the right color - looks good. I'll write a review later if these have issues or fail early.Installation is fairly easy. If you have any sort of mechanical ability --- like changing a faucet washer, changing a household light bulb, handling basic tools, etc. these should not be a problem replacing on your own.Suggestions (2002 Nissan Maxima):1 - Don't touch the actual glass on the bulb... some feel that oil from your hands can significantly reduce its lifetime. Opinions vary because that was the standard rule with halogen (which create a lot of heat). I just didn't want to take a chance.2- You may have to move your battery to access the drivers side light. Not a problem. You don't have to remove it, just move it out of the way. If you have a newer battery, it's probably smaller than OEM (mines smaller) and you don't have to move it at all.3- You don't need any tools to access or remove the bulb. It can all be done by hand.4- The cover turns counter clockwise about 1/8 of a turn to remove.5- The power connector moves slightly less counter clockwise to remove.6 - The little clip that secures the bulb will move back into place after you squeeze it and then remove the bulb. Just lift up and put the new bulb in and squeeze back into place. It moves up and down... it will not fall out.7 -Pay attention to bulb position and replace bulb in the same position.8 - Put everything back in place.9 - Check headlights!10- You're done! Congrats you just saved a couple hundred bucks!THANKS AMAZON!P.S. My car is a 2002. Both bulbs went out within days of each other. I suggest replacing both bulbs at once. HID (Xenon) do not work the same as standard halogen bulbs -- they use a lot of energy and require an ignitor -- the system has a bit more going on and has other components that can fail. I hope if you are having headlight issues the solution is a simple inexpensive one. :-)

I took off one star because the item I purchased did not come in a box as described in the product listing.The box on the left in both pictures show what I received with this order. The box on the right in both pictures is what I received in a previous order. The white box foes not have a hologram on the bottom next to the QR code that is used to validate that the bulb I received is not a counterfeit bulb. When I follow the instruction on the QR code, it says to take a picture of the box and submit it to the Phillips website for verification. When I submitted the picture of the box, the website auto replies saying that the box "Appears" to be "Authentic" On the yellow box with the Hologram, when I submitted the codes, I get a reply that the box "Is Authentic".Other than that, the bulb fit into the headlight housing of my 2008 Mazda MX-5 GT as a direct replacement for the original bulb. The physical appearance of the bulb, the Kelvin rating and brightness of the bulb, met all the OEM requirements of the original bulb that burnet out, without costing $251.00 each, which is what the Mazda dealer would have charged for their OEM bulb, plus over $200.00 in labor to install the bulbs, that's well over $700 to replace two low beam light bulbs (I had to remove the front bumper to get to the headlight housing).Note: I want to add a notation to this review: I made two purchases of this item. The 1st purchase was received in a box as listed and had a Hologram next to the QR Code so I could validate that the bulb received was not a counterfeit bulb. For some reason, Amazon would not let me review both purchases separately. Maybe because the were listed as the same item. I want to give the 1st bulb a 5 Star rating because it was received in a box as described in the listing and the 2nd bulb a 4 Star rating because it came in a different box than that shown in the listing and could not be 100% verified as not being a counterfeit bulb. But both bulbs do work as well as the OEM bulbs that they replaced.
