Some of you may know about my recent purchase which involves taking the front bumper off. So I'm thinking to change my Xenon bulbs and DRL bulbs at the same time as they are a real pain, but with bumper off it only takes couple of minutes to remove the headlights where the whole process becomes a piece of cake.
So I'm looking at some Philips Xtreme Vision. The price varies a lot, from £90 per bulb from ECP, to £65-70 on eBay and then I found this website which sells them for just over £50 each. Bare in mind their prices are exc. VAT https://www.any-lamp.co.uk/philips-d2s-x-tremevision I've heard of some counterfeit Philips Xenon bulbs on eBay and internet. Would you stay away from this guys or with no hesitation place order with them???? Thanks

I bought a pair from ECP a few weeks ago for £126.90. Not sure if the D3 is the same, but the D2 takes D2R bulbs, not the more common D2S.
But the difference is noticeable. I changed one then put them on to compare... much better! ![]()

Just in case anyone is interested. The xenon 'S' & 'R' stands for Straight or Reflected. And that pretty much describes the way the lamp works. Some project the light 'straight' out from the bulb (through a lens I guess) and the others reflect it back onto the reflector at the back of the headlamp, and from there out the front.
That's a pretty useless bit of info that I just had to share ![]()
