Philips Ultinon 8000K D2R bulb is going to run me about $190 shipped on a site. Blinglights.com offers their 8000K D2R for about $150 with the 35W feature. Im not concerned about the $40 price cost, but i know im already sacrificing output by getting 8000K. Im curious as to which bulb will give me the most longevity and reliability.

 

phillips will, but the ultinon isn't 8000k, its 6000k

 

Oopsie. Well Philips 8000K it is. Depending on that output/look i may get the 6000K ultinons. I'll put pics up once i get them in. I have tons of pics i need to load on here from my custom clear corners from kyazh, my flat black headlights from suicidesam and these new 8000k d2r's

 

i don't think you get it, phillips doesn't make an 8000k bulb(readily availabe in the states)

 

Maybe i am missing something...

The site carries philips bulbs. Are they not real or something?

Thanks.

 

Phillips(real) is spelled with 2 L's. They also don't make those types of bulbs with those connectors. Those "Philips" bulbs are some type of imitation they are probably hoping people like you confuse for the real deal. I know for sure Phillips doesn't make a 30000k bulb like they lips

 

i thought it was spelled with one 'L' check out this link, it's the
official page:http://www.usa.philips.com/index.page

 

you're right! I keep seeing it posted with 2 L's, and I always forget which one it is. then they are just blatently lying about selling philips equipment, phillips doesn't make 30000k bulbs, and especially not in those types, only d2s/d2r/d1s/d4s

 

I didnt have anything confused. I knew philips was spelled correctly. Doesn't seem right they can try and sell a knockoff of a reputable brand. Oh well. Can anyone recommend an 8000K bulb from a certain company that won't blow on me in a week?

 

uh http://www.neverburnout.com. solid company and got some endorsements. OR philips. but don't go with some random from ebay.

 

Hmm I ordered some 8000K from neverburnout.com Lets see how these turnout. Sight is very user friendly. Providing many means of contacting them in case of a problem...multiple emails, address, phone number, Hours of Operation. Additional oppurtunities to check status of order, edit order, as well as track packaging.

 

i used these neverburnout 6000k D2s bulbs on my m3 which are, IMHO, a nice, fat, upgrade IMHO. do your thing and let us know how it goes. 8000k is quite blue, but to each his own. i know plenty of guys who like 8k HIDs.

 

and holy crap, i can't believe someone was using 30000k. respect (at night).

 

I just bought a set of 8000k JDM D2C (fits both D2R and D2S housing) from MotoringMax on Ebay. They look extremely good at night. They only cost me $59, but i don't know how long they will last since it's so cheap.
this is their website (www.iJDMTOY.com)
any input from this brand?

 

Let me know how long those last you...
