Where to buy? 6000k D1S low beam HID bulbs?

Josh1a1h · 11-17-2011, 07:58 PM

As title says...

I want a deal, but nothing cheap quality.

No vendors on this site have responded to my requests...

6000k is what you find on Astons, bentleys which have more of a blue hue to the light right?

many thanks

I'd try HIDs Direct or HIDs4U. Both will be able to supply decent quality bulbs at a sensible price.

Thanks for the link bud!!!

I found these from HIDs direct... http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/d1s-hid...lbs-p-451.html

They are only £30!!!! Do you think they are reputable enough? Im sure they would perform well... But could they blow my ballasts??????

Best,

I've had stuff from them before, as have a number of friends and family - it's always been very good quality kit. Can't see why it would be a problem.

hidbulbsrus on ebay, or TRS.

The blue "hue" is 100% from the lenses of the projector, and nothing to do with the bulbs. A clear lens will have a nice thick band of blue along the cutoff.

Personally, I'd only fit good quality bulbs from a reputable manufacterer, such as Osram or Philips.

Something like these should be good:

But finding a UK supplier may be easier said then done, unless you're happy to have them shipped over and bear the customs charges

My car is a 2006 330i Sedan with HID lights. The left side low beam light was dead after 7 years since I bought the car. Dealer was asking for $200+ for just checking what was going wrong. I decided to do the replacement myself. So I bought the exactly same HID bulb from amazon which cost me $35, and I used a coin (a quarter) as the only tool to finish the job. Cool? Check this Youtube video to see how I did it.
Happy DIY.

Here is the link where I bought the HID bulb: (the price went up though)

Hah definitely necrotastic

You could try the Osram CBI 5000k if you're after an improvment. Apparently standard for into Merc E class.

Personally i'd go for their 4300 silverstar upgrade. Not cheap but meant to be a big improvment.
