You see this time and time again. Philips does NOT make conversion kits. Anything that markets its self as such is FAKE. What people do is re base the bulbs do the whole "pig tail" thing and slap on some Chinese made ballasts and call it a Philips kit. What Striker said is correct Philips bulbs will ALWAYS have the dotted print on it and the real ballasts look like the ones in his pics(I have Hella). Philips bulbs = D1R D1S D2R D2S D2C

Philips does how ever make the Ultinon Bulbs which are made in Germany but not for street use in the US or EU (I have these). That "kit" is a fake, sorry man...
