Best plave to buy new D2S bulbs?
One of my headlights went out and I need a new pair of bulbs.
Suggestions on best place to buy?
I did a search but all threads are about 2 years old with a ton of broken links.
Thanks.

I like these guys a lot: OSRAM XENARC D2S XENON HID BULB (Single) | PowerBulbs
Been buying bulbs from them for years. If you're looking for mega-rice purple, they can't help though.
They stock all the Euro spec H1, H3, and H4 stuff too.
Free shipping to US.

You want authentic ones? What brand do you prefer?

Theretrofitsource stocks their own Morimoto bulbs along with some of the most common Phillips and Osram bulbs. Your oem should be the 85122 I believe. And theres a code for free shipping if you want it.

I have a set of Philips OEM 85122 I bought as part of the retrofit kit from TRS. I upgraded to Osram CBI. They have no more than 100 hours. Let me know if you're interested. $50 cash

Careful not to buy counterfeits. Theres also plenty of counterfeits on Amazon now also. Ebay is a given.

i just usually drop in at Vex Motorsports in Santa Clara and pick up my HID bulbs there when i burn out. Last time i took advantage of my lifetime warranty through a groupbuy, the bulbs were free, but i got charged 30 bucks for the shipping/processing costs...

I want to drive my car every night. That's how much I like them. The blue is not super blue , just a tiny tint.

PM'ed you back Snoop

Bringing this back.

The osram cbi are very nice. Only 1 hour on them but they are super white. I wish the projectors on the gr had better cutoff though.

What setting do people use for the headlight tilt dial?
