Phillips are very good quality bulbs for sure but you can't beat the HPA capsule deal

I'd say Philips are by far the best, however, it's hard to justify the price of the Ultinons when vendors here have good quality bulbs with a decent warranty for much cheaper.

Theres really no point in spending extra money.

you can get a kit for 40 or bulbs for 30 with lifetime warranty.

I believe the difference in quality was that the Philips were very close to OEM spec and would last a very long time, which is why i went with them.

Heres 1 pic i snapped a while back with the car in the garage. It doesn't depict it very well though. Its freezing outside otherwise id go out and take a better one for you. The fogs thats next to it is PIAA GT-X.

You live in Florida and saying its Freezing cold? Omg. I guess you must love your heated seats too. lol Philips is good ****, they last forever too, you get what you pay for, but I still rather buy the $60 BS hid kits on ebay, they are cheap enough to just buy two sets and have alot of spare parts laying around.

How reliable is this website? Its pretty rare for a website to be cheaper than ebay prices. But then again , there are alot of scammers out there too.

Thats hilarious... you have an issue with your car because high beams on a g37 is controlled by the reflectors not the bulb....

I bought McCullough 6000K HIDs about a year ago and I honestly couldn't be any happier. Here are some pics of them.

Theres a lot of HID choices on the market now, if anything, at least buy from a vendor on here, that way you know you can get any support if there is any issues. Ebay cant be beat but its always the "what ifs".....

Nice scratch you got there. Did you hit a bird? And what is up with your hood? It looks like it is not lined up correctly.
