nice, do u kno if that link is for a pair or just one?

 

Going by the title "Bulbs" I believe it is for a pair. Plus the original price was $180.00.

 

nevermind

 

good call, wasnt sure if u had actually ordered these before

 

Bought from this guy about 6 months ago when I had my GTI. They come in a pair and you probably won't find any cheaper place. And yes, they are not fakes. Exact same bulbs came stock from VW.

On my phone, so hope link works.

 

Try this. I bought from them, got a set of 8k. But I havent attempted to put them on yet.

Looks like a good buy, that's a nice price if it's the real thing. There's a lot of fake OEM replica hid bulbs out there. Judging by the packing they came in I would guess those are real though.

Alternatively, you can get the + version here, which does not colorshift over time like the standard ones will

if you check out the Osram CBI bulbs, they are a 5000k bulb with oem quality, brightest 5000k bulbs on the market. And the Osram SVS bulbs are the brightest 35w bulbs on the market. Remember that the higher in the K scale you go, the dimmer the bulbs will get.
