HIDs and associated bulbs
« on: 22 July 2009, 14:59:46 »
Where is the best place to buy Xenons main beams and side lights from? Heard not too good things about the ones off ebay. I would prefer to buy from the high st.

Thanks

You can get nice ones off ebay ... just make sure you buy the Osram Nightbreakers, they are darned good, much better than the stock ones  :y :y :y

By Xenons, you surely mean HIDs, don't you?

Check out the following link for a better idea - you have bulbs for both the main beam and side lights:

Yes HID's and Xenons are the same thing according to my limited knowledge.

If yours are d2s or d2r regular xenons watch out for colour as you buy for main beam.
Probably best suited are 6000K bulbs

Well, i have factory fitted Xenons at the moment (still using the original bulbs). I am planning to upgrade in the very near future to put in the Osram Nightbreaker HIDs soon. (just after the Bahrain's version of the MOT which is due by this month's end!)

Under the D2S bulb range Osram does not come up as an option. It is mainly Kaixen. I'm assuming yours is a facelift.

Uh, yes, correctly assumed there my desert brother - i got a facelift. From your vehicle description, it looks that you have a facelift as well. Anything came up with your quest of the HID?  :-/
