That's like saying that electricity from a BP windfarm isn't sparky enough because they're an oil company. Philips are, amongst other things, one of the biggest lighting manufacturers in the world Thumbs Up Darren

Philips X-Treme - £20 on eBay
I've just bought a set, which arrived quickly.


Ordered a pair from them last week. Picked them up from the PO this morning and they have sent H7's Big Cry

Anybody want to buy a pair of H7's before I send them back - they are not the easiest of companies to deal with even though it is their fault, invoice clearly states H4 ?

I received H4's from them. If they don't do anything about it threaten them by saying you'll go direct to ebay Thumbs Up

They said they will sort it. I have to send the bulbs back tracked, send a photo of the tracking number to them and then they will send the correct ones. No mention of them paying the return cost. If they don't pay that then I am straight on to ebay Thumbs Up

It may have helped if the person I spoke to could speak English.
