Im all set on buying those. Can anyone confirm if the retrofitsource sells genuine Osram 66240 CBIs?

They do, I have bought a bunch of stuff from them before and everything is legit. I didn't get my bulbs from them though because they weren't carrying the CBI yet. I got mine from Motivemods who is a verified vendor over on HIDplanet and he is on Ebay as well I believe. Here's a link to his site: http://www.motivemods.com/OSRAM-Cool...sr-cbi-d2s.htm. If you make an account on the HIDplanet forums you can get in on his group buy pricing too.

For those that have ordered from TheRetroFitSource, is there any warranty on the bulbs they sell? I'd hate to spend 185 bucks on these and have them go out in less than a year. I know they are rated at 2500 hours but you never know with these things.

Have you contacted the retrofit source about this? They should either warranty them or at least help you get replacements through Osram directly under their warranty. Shoot them an email and let us know what they say.

When i was unhappy with some morimoto bulbs i got from them they offered to Exchange them. I doubt they will Exchange them if you don't get the advertised hours though as there is no way to document the hours or verify they were not.touched when getting installed. Oils on finger tips ruin a bulb

^ At 20 bucks a pair, they wont' compare.

I got the response from TRS, they don't warranty them because they are a "grey market" item. Whatever that means. I still took the chance on them though.
