Look at post 37 and 42 in this thread... Sometimes, finding a way to "lock" the bulb back in the housing properly is tricky to say the least.

Thanks. I'll repost after I fix.

BLU135i · 10-24-2013, 01:46 PM

Bam!!! Much better. Thanks. Personally I feel that they look great!!

Marc08EX · 10-24-2013, 01:59 PM

Nice!!! Looking forward to night shots of the Philips.

Man, that looks great. Nice and white, just like the PIAA bulbs. I doubt the extra 200K makes a difference, but the Philips bulbs are quite a bit cheaper than the PIAA Precious Whites. Oh, and actually available on eBay vs. the PIAAs which are nowhere to be found right now.

Looking forward to dusk shots!!!

I hear there are counterfeit Philips Diamond Visions floating around, so probably a good idea to buy from Newegg vs. some shady place online. They have to be in a sealed box with Made in Germany written on it on the box and one the base of the bulbs.

Really? I bought them Sunday and haven't got them yet.

BLU135i · 10-24-2013, 03:35 PM

BLU135i · 10-24-2013, 03:42 PM

FYI, the ones I got from eBay seem to be legit as well. Sealed Philips box with crazy packaging (as I mentioned earlier in this thread). Anybody else enjoy the packaging removal process?

Could you post up a link of the eBay seller you used? I had problems with counterfeit bulbs from eBay before

Thanks

BLU135i · 10-24-2013, 08:09 PM

Took this tonight. Will have some early am shots tomorrow.

BLU135i · 10-24-2013, 08:10 PM

More but not the best

128GP · 10-24-2013, 08:39 PM

So what do you suggest... Piaa or phillips ?

Thank you

BLU135i · 10-25-2013, 05:18 AM

I'm happy with the Philips. Lower cost and greater availability. Here is at 0340 this morning before heading to work.

BLU135i · 10-25-2013, 06:22 AM

One last shot at 0720 this morning

Hello from Bahrain, First post here. Been a silent reader for quite a while now.

I wanted to thank P1et for the great find. I've been trying to change those yellow bulbs for the angel eyes since the first day I got the car.

I guess I got the last piece of the PIAA Precious White bulbs yesterday of eBay, can't wait till I get my hands on them and change em yellow bulbs.

Thanks again P1et, and the rest of the forum. Got tons of information since I joined.
