Hi everyone, just to share my bad experience that I have bought a pair of diamond vision for my high beam about 3 months back at sin ming ind area, and recently 1 of the bulb blown. So I called the shop and ask if there's any warranty bo as i was refer to them by my friend who told me that their price for philips is cheaper.

 

As expected, they told me that bulb dun comes with warranty as it a wear and tear products which I agree too. So I 'LL ' go buy another set to replace lor. Everythings seem alright correct? The 'buay Song' issue just start...As Im working near town area, I went to the shop which i done my audio place near my workplace to get the bulb, as I myself had been using philips bulb for my previous 2 cars and I really believe in it quality, this is the 1st time which my bulb last not more then 3 mths, maybe i 'suay' lor.

 

So the mechanic took out the bulb and wanted to replace it, then the mechanic ask me a question which i was so shock!! He told me that how come im using different brands of bulb on each side and ask me if it was purchase from them as im quite a regular over there.

 

Now, you will ask since im a regular there and how come i never buy the bulb from them in the first place right?? Reason simple, they selling @ $85 but I bought it @ only $65 from the previous shop in sin ming. After i told them, the boss told me that the bulb which i bought likelyhood is from china as a numbers of accessories shops which might not be a authorised bring in ' china conterfeit philips bulb', that's how come they can sell out so cheap.

 

Instead of getting a saving of 20 bucks, end up spending xtra for another pair but luckily the boss is very nice to give me some discount on it. After fixing, while driving i call the sin ming shop agn to tell him what I see and told him what i heard, but to my surprise..this is what i get; 'bo ko leng lar'..

 

Haiz..what to do, it myself who went to buy it, nobody force me, it me who thinking of GREAT saving GREAT deal..think paying $65 bucks for a lesson, it still worth it. Now im more firm on the saying...' yi fen qian yi fen huo'

Just my advices to anyone who would wants to buy philips bulb, go to the authorised shop..

 

So sorry to have written such a long essay..just wanted to vent out the anger somewhere so choose to write..haha..

Your lesson enforces the saying....

 

Good things no cheap and cheap things no good.

 

If it sounds too good to be true...it prob is.

 

And my fav...from army days...

 

Good from far....Far from good.

 

Just take it as a lesson lor...the most effective learning is from mistakes.

lightbulbs no warranty, u can buy one and use it for yrs or forever, but u can buy one and fuse it within days/mths

 

as for whether china made or not, it can happen to any product...just look at energizer battery, got made in SG, Korea, China all different prices.

the chiong ones got the phillips box too? when you bought the bulbs, the shop didnt pass you the box with your old bulbs inside? I thought this would be the normal practice. Faster report to phillips maybe they can take action against that shop. Chiong bulbs i think worth only 5 dollar. 60 dollars is middleman fees.

hmm....being conned i not sure....if the imitation product is selling at the same price as the genuine product, and realise that it is fake, then of course is kenna conned. However if the imitation product is selling much much cheaper than the genuine product, then obviously there is something wrong right.....so if one to buy it, obviously the "tan xiao pian yi" mentality kicks in.

 

nowadays, alot of ppl are bringing in parallel imports which really cheaper but then we got to take the risk.
