That said, if you absolutely must have a legit product, going through a factory authorized distributor is pretty much the only way to make sure you get what you're looking for. eBay is a roll of the dice.

This seller is in Germany and sells only German made bulbs. These bulbs are part of Osram's Trust Program:
Two safety features have been included enabling you to authenticate these safety features quickly and easily by checking:
--A unique code on security label
--Unique lamp data on lamp base also has a link to Osram's
On the bulb's I received, both of these checked out on Osram's web site.
