HID Philips X-treme 6200K 3000 lumen Japan shopping

It's easy to buy in Japan with local japanese price with usual Amazon standard sending option (very quick)
You need (mandatory) to registrer in Amazon Japan thus any other Amazon account is unknown for Japanese platform.
Go to https://www.amazon.co.jp/ then click on Globe and switch to English (only translation mode), then register yourself.
Warn: too long email format might hang up the site, some .com suffixes aren't recognized.

Once registred you can surf and search using english naming or (better) OEM part code or EAN.

Select in search: "eligible for international sending".

Example
PHILIPS 42422XGX2 for X-treme Series Ultinon 6200K (NOT FOR USE IN US/EU), available 6700K (42422XFX2) too.

Here all Japanese series www.carlight.philips.co.jp/lineup/h...ltinon-HID.html and www.carlight.philips.co.jp/lineup/h...-HID-6700K.html

Follow usual buying procedure.

Price are very lower and EU/ITA custom fees are duly applied in checkout.

PRICE PAID WITH SENDING TO ITALY
sold by AMAZON JAPAN GFK

Lamps feedback

Light is very extra white with no blue accent on BRZ HID lens, impressive illumination range. No comparison to stock lamps (in EU is 4150K, 2100 lumen), No comparison with some "China" aftermarket HID lamp.

I am surprised that a 6200K bulb has no blue tint at all. are you sure that it's not a knockoff?

absolutely....after Philips quality..never more China lamps for $30.00 in my life. Shitty poor lamps, all. Extra White I've never seen, they are true, on Japanese Philips site you can see real K scale and how they produce it.
You can verify the genuine product key directly on Philips site, you need to scratch the label on box and check digit and serial.

I can vouch that the Philips 6200k HIDs are great! Way better than anything you can find other than OEM.
