Title: HID Bulbs
Post by: SP_3.2 on 05 February 2009, 07:35:19

Had 2 sets of these from e-bay £30 a pair and each it one or both would not fire up when fitted. >:( >:(.

Had a check with vaux theres is £170 each :o :o. called LMF and  they have a set of Osram HID Ds2 4500k i think. Do you think these would be  better and  have more chance to work.

The e-bay ones have been sent back for refund.

Thanks

Steve.

Thats very strange!

Vauxhall sounds like muppets!

£170, is strangely the price of a new headlamp.....
RH xenon lamps from '00 9193420 £167.00 £150.30 £120.77


A D2s Bulb is  :

12V 35W xenon headlamp ISO D2S (each) 93169041 £102.00 £86.70 £59.10

Retail, trade, tradeclub +vat

Osram are likely to be better than ebay, but at what price?

Was a shame as had 2 sets and no good. The Osram ones are £60 a pair so not a bad price if they work. As soon as the old ones are back in they work and fire fine.

OK Now have sent the e bay ones back and replace with the Osrams and worked right away.  :y £60 a pair was a lot better than the £150 qutoed by vauxhall  EACH  :o :o :o.

After having new Osram OME bulbs fitted on Firday and not sure if it just me but they seem to fire well and start of a very nice white but then the they seem to change to not so white . Have check the conections and all seem fine.

Don,t know if they need a beding in time to work there best  :question.

Can any one shed any light on this as it has been one thing after another with these HID bulbs.

Thanks

Steve
