You can find some previous posts, but just because someone advertises theirs as a "genuine Philips" or "genuine Osram", it might not be. Apparently there's quite a nasty knock-off market on these things, and they're not all created equal. The no-name ones i'd previously bought before going back to the OEM managed to overheat after 9 mo. and set off my sensors and started flickering after a long drive. The "genuine Philips" ones I ordered off ebay even looked cheaper than the no-names I pulled out, hence how I could tell they weren't genuine. I'd check with Amazon or any other reputable online store, and look at the Osram/Sylvanias or Philips. Last ones I ordered were from Amazon, and were an excellent price to boot.
