OE HID bulbs are made by Philips. They make several different lines of bulbs. Do you still have the packaging of your $81 Ultinons? Post pics please.

 

This eBay seller is out of California not China based; also didn't see this vendor left with any Neg Feedback for these paritular Philips HIDs. The HIDs came in that cheapo box that sorta looks similar to what OE Car Co. would carry to replace OE products mayb wrong there also so don't take my word

Took pic on my iphone so couldn't do frontal snapshot haha sry don't own a digicam

 

http://ddmtuning.com ftw. I've got several sets of bulbs and hid kits from them and haven't had a single problem. My 5000k have been on for 2 years and stll look just as good as day 1.
