Philips D2S Headlight Bulb Questions
Issue is counterfeits and these prices that are all over the place. Any insights? I want the regular color, D2S C1 model.
1 - A poster on another board buys from these guys and says they are original Philips at $89

2 - Philip's own website will point you to Amazon who is selling the same C1 for $43 (box label implies gray market from Mexico). This is the real Amazon, not an associated retailer. They also point to HomeDepot who is selling it for $70

Sheesh!
I want to get the real deal and not a counterfeit but the prices appear all over the place. Very odd and makes me nervous.
Peace
