Real or Fake?HID philips 85122+

i'm looking for some philips 85122+ bulbs. i searched around and found this site http://www.philipsxenon.com/philips-...id-bulb-p-1265

my question is it legit, and i want the 6000k ones, but i also read on other sites that philips only make 4300k. So i'm kinda confused now. What's the official philips site for the hid bulbs?

Those definitely look fake. Compare the bulb in your link with the one below. Pay attention to the shape of the capsule.

Also, I'm pretty sure they only come in 4300K.

The bulbs only come in 4300K. If you want something a little whiter, take a look at the OSRAM CBI 5000K D2S bulbs. They have the same brightness as the philips (3400 lumens) and are slightly whiter!

If you are looking for a very white 6000K'ish color HID bulb you will be VERY disappointed with the Philips 85122+ bulbs. The 85122+ bulbs are actually designed to stay closer to 4100-4300K longer than the standard 85122 bulb. So the + bulbs will look more yellowish when compared to the most common 85122's. With that said though, the 85122+ bulbs are among the brightest available as far as actual lumens and output.

for what it's worth, i wouldn't buy them from that site. i know the Philips ColorMatch (~$105/bulb) is 5000k and the Philips UltraBlue (~$145/bulb) is 6000k...and i'm pretty sure the Philips 85122+ (~$95/bulb) are at 4300k. the fact that they're offering the + in a 6000k would make me suspect of that site.
