Inquired kay Xenon Concepts via SMS and in 2 minutes may reply na. Baka ayaw na ni hidretrofit ng SMS lang. Sayang. I was a very happy customer of Gary before. Sana talagang ok kay Xenon Concepts. Can't wait mapalitan bulbs ko.

Baka nga nag change ng number or di napansin sms mo dahil busy. Actually meron na rin yan sila branch sa cebu.
May mga customers dito ang xenon concepts and they are happy naman sa outcome nung install nila.

If mabilis mag reply sa FB nila, I bet mga tao lang ni gary yan. Well unless dun sa personal FB acct mismo ni gary quizon ka mag pm. Kaya nasabi ko na malamanng hindi si gary ang nag reply, dahil nung may tinanong ako na ang subject is about sa Philips D5S hid bulb. Ang sagot ba naman sa akin eh, wala daw D5S na bulb at marketing lang daw yan. hahaha. eh almost 10yrs na ata sa market ang D5S, hindi nga lang common.

Tried 2 numbers na nakita ko sa FB page nila. Yung 1st is yung nakapost na contact number sa About page. Then yung isang number nakaindicate na number sa isang post nila last Wednesday. Anyways, nakaorder naman na ko kay Xenon Concepts. Different shop to try.

BTW, wala ako FB so can't contact them using Messenger.

Are you by any chance working in some philippine government secret agency? Since wala ka FB hehehe. Joke

My wife's friend doesnt have FB dahil pinag bawalan ng mister na gumamit ng social media. Her husband works ata sa NSA sa america.
Back to topic. Ano projectors nyo na inorder? I heard the G5 has a good performance.

**marky2115** · March 16th, 2018 05:35 PM

Bulbs lang inorder ko. I have an existing FXR w/ clear lens and 55w Matsushita ballast done by Gary sa Civic FD ko back in 2011. Yung bulb Philips 85122 na kailangan na ireplace kasi nahihinaan na ko spsecially kapag dumaan ako sa asphalt road without street lights. Compared kapag ginamit ko Everest ng mother ko that has stock HID projectors, hina na talaga ng FXR ko.

Oh ok. I'm actually a fan of FXR. Yan din gamit ko sa previous vehicle ko. Actually meron isang bagong retrofitter akong na tanungan at nag inquire ako if meron silang FXR at sabi sa akin luma na daw ang FXR at sinabi nya sa akin yung mga bago nya. Nag smile na lang ako dahil FXR might be old pero when it comes to width and light throw, yung mga sinabi nya sa akin na projectors na bago is way below in performance sa FXR.
Kung Hindi ka pa naka pag order sana ng bulb I would suggest the gen 2 philips xv c1 If your a philips kind of guy. I'm using the gen 1 at the moment and it is more intense kesa sa 85122 ko dati sa previous vehicle ko.

I was told kasi other philips variants big price jump pero little light improvement. Checking the prices sa TRS, x2 ang price ng XV C1 sa 85122. Mahal. Hehe

Ayaw nyo ng osram cbi? Ok naman performance so far.

Ang ayoko lang sa FXR is hindi plug and play. Straight retrofit talaga siya. To some that's a leap of faith.

CBI is really good based on on personal experience, specially a couple of hours burn in and the yellow tint lessens into more of bluish white.

Osram CBI actually is an excellent bulb. Kaya nag labas ang philips ng pang tapat dyan sa cbi eh dahil most people prefer the cbi lalo na pag pinag usapan ang price. Di ko lang type ang color temperature. I prefer a little warmer color temp of the philips counterpart ng cbi. If sa city siguto ako nakatira I might consider cbi but taga probinsya ako with lots of unlit asphalt road, parati fog not to mention during rainy season. Plus I just like the philips brand hehehe. Personal preference na lang.
