adro 1083 Report post Posted October 18 Hi, my drivers headlight has turned a purple colour so I’m looking to get a new set of bulbs. Has anyone been there done that and have some recommendations? My car is a 2002 E46 FL. Phillips and Osram seem to be noted as the best but come at a premium, is the GEN2 Phillips D2S bulb worth it? Any retailer recommended over what google produces? https://www.ledperf.co.nz/philips-d2s-xtremevision-gen2-85v-certified-35w-xenon-bulb-p-109884.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwjsi4BhB5EiwAFAL0YMFyzy92SmVItWnoK2yN6PTDeOxjMfuVvVCVt2xzFlWLJCEOgNgC3hoCEI0QAvD_BwE Marimoto do a kit with bulbs and ballasts but I’m wondering if this will cause me WOF issues? https://www.morimotohid.com/morimoto-elite-d2s-hid-system?quantity=1 cheers.

Eagle 1662 Report post Posted October 18 Standard Gen1? 35W Philips D2S bulb 4200k is about $60 trade via the local supplier. Could probably get you a couple. Dont know what Gen 1 vs Gen 2 differences are. Never heard of Morimoto but personally i dont see the point in above given all the unknown variables and your working system.

Vass 831 Report post Posted October 19 Not that I needed them but got myself a pair of Maxgear bulbs off Spareto, at 9 EUR a piece I just wanted to see what they were like. Couldn't tell you how they compare brightness or longevity wise to premium brands but look good enough to me. Not something I can justify paying 5x for a pair of bulbs. When it comes to ordering from Ledperf, don't expect a quick delivery. Put in my first ever order with them for some chrome indicator bulbs on the 2nd of October, got a shipping notification on the 4th and haven't gotten a single tracking update since. Coming up to 3 weeks now and no idea where the shipment has gotten to or when I'll receive it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adro 1083 Report post Posted October 21 Thanks guys, appreciate your experiences. I tracked down Pan Pacific Auto locally but they are wholesale so have got A1 auto electrical to order them for me. Appreciate the offer to help me out @Eagle, if I were local to you I would take you up on it. Cheers, A. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
