    Just received my HID order from @XenonDepot. I paid extra for the 43K Philips bulbs.

    There is shrink tube covering the bottom of the bulb. How do I confirm that I have the Philips bulbs? -Kirk Out

    You don't have Philips bulbs. You only have Philips quartz glass. Philips doesn't make H series HID bulbs. A true Philips bulb will have identification.

    XD bulb left, XD rebased Philips bulb right.

    Unsure exactly, as it appears the design changed. The Philips has the H11 90 degree base and red OEM style gasket. Yours has the XD style base with the OEM style gasket. So unsure if they changed the base on the Philips bulb or gasket on the XD one. My XD bulbs came with XD branded plastic screw on cases, where as the Philips were clear. If I had to guess I’d say they changed the base style on the Philips. Note that since this is not an end product made by Philips, it will not say Philips on it.
