Yes it is both bulbs. I doubt even if I bought $400 bulbs from a dealer that I would get a different result. The guy above is assuming a bulb is trash because its cheaper than dealer. Well I have used cheap HID bulbs on many cars no issues...ever..... until now.

If someone wants to spend 20x more becauise it has a fancy box go ahead, But there is no need if the factory is iso 9002 certified. quality will be the same.

Is burn-in a common thing or a random thing?
