Next time you buy anything for your G seriously consider buying it from our vendors here on DRIVER. I've only bought on item on eBay I was satisfied with and have never had an issue with buying anything from our MARKETPLACE and it's vendors!

Your OEM ballasts should be good to go - Matsu Gen3 ballasts IIRC?


For true genuine 100% authentic Phillips bulbs, go over to HidPlanet and ask/search around there. 85122's should be good in your projectors. 6000k is the upper limit you should go - the newer Philips bulbs are 4700k - 5000k.


There's only one place on ebay that I know that has authentic Philips bulbs - hidbulbzrus. Think it's around $75 bucks shipped for a pair. I wouldn't trust any random vendor even tho they may be swearing they sell genuine bulbs unless the guys at HidP say they are genuine. The physical differences are minute but noticeable. The output is telling.

Just my 2 cents.
