question for the people that own em.

Without installing them, just by looking at the bulb, how can you tell they're Ultinons??

I just received my ultinons yesterday and nowhere on the box or the bulbs does it say Ultinons...

any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Post pics!

 

i'll post pics of my bulbs once I get home.

better yet, let me show you guys the ebay link. here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

scroll down the actual page because the main picture (D2R for reflector housings) aren't the ones I got.

the ones I received are correct as far as being D2S and what not.

 

the only difference I see is that the Ultinons on ebay have the blue/purple strip on the stick (sorry for not knowing the actualy bulb language lol)

and the OEM 4100K-4300K D2S bulbs have a black/gray looking stick...

 

Here's a pic of my Philips Ultinons 6000k D2S for my Projector Mod. Seems yours should be the same except for the part# and having D2R on them. I got these from the Group buy we had here on Driver late last year...
They don't have Ultinons on them though.

On the base it reads:

PHILIPS GERMANY 2A428
D2S 35W 85122 WX Hg
NOT FOR USE IN EUROPE/USA

 

if i remember correctly, the numbers you posted look very familiar to the ones I got.

i'll update you guys tonight!

also, RugRat, how do you like your Ultinons compared to the stock bulbs?

 

I haven't quite finished my projector mod, so they're not on my car yet...
I'll let ya know.

 

Besides the bluish purple ceramic tube on the return wire, look in the capsule itself. The metallic salts should be a blood-red color

chiapet15 - you're a life saver!! everything matches the description, thanks for your reply!

 

Hey guys, besides Ebaya where is the cheapest place to get my hands on some Phillips ultinons 6000K D2S bulbs?

 

i sent u a PM ichibahn, but i got em from Ebay.

i received mine in about 2 days! fast shipping from the guy I bought them from!

 

I have a pair of never used D2R Ultinon bulbs that I don't need anymore since I've gotten the 06 projectors. PM me.

 

what is the diffrence between Ultinon, and regular HID's?

 

philip ultinons are regular HID's, thats just what they're called. It's like a brand. They're just known for good quality which is why ppl like em.

 

from what I know, the Ultinons are 6000K, where as the stock(OEM) would be 4100K or 4300K.

OEM - white/yellow
Ultinons - hint of blue

if you have the money to buy the Ultinons, and you want to have a little blue then id say go for it! they cost me $230 shipped!

as for the OEM bulbs would either cost more or less, depends where you buy them.
