Are these real HIR 9012 bulbs or fakers?

Hi

I saw these on the large auction site.

Are they real HIR bulbs?

I don't know if they're authentic or not, but those are 9011 (for 9005 replacement) bulbs. Not 9012 for 9006.

Phake phake phake. They look like the 1st-generation (fragile) GE-design bulb with external support wire and blue glass.

Sounds like these guys had the real thing. They say 9012 HIR was discontinued by Toshiba in April 2009:

This site for HIR's popped up on a search of CPF:

Again, see this thread.
