All this arguing over changing a light bulb 

Can we get back on topic a little, Well the bulb part, Would like to clarify a few little things up.

When the HID bulbs are on their way out they go pink ?, Are they pink 1st thing when their switched on or pink all the time.

If the worst came to the worst where is the best place to get bulbs. eBay is a no no I'd imagine seen as there are thousands of different bulbs on there ranging from £5 to hundreds, Unless you know what your looking for..

I got mine from hids4u. Cheaper than main dealer, turned up promptly so no complaints there.

Make sure to buy either Osram or Philips. Nothing else will do. If you buy the no-name HIDs you will be back to tell  us that they only work intermittently

Pictures of your lights won't really show the colours, unless you have a very good camera.

Its obvious when they are on their last legs, as the pink/purple tinge is very evident. Occassionally, they don't strike either.

However, HIDs do naturally degrade over time, so all else equal, new ones will be better than 10yr old ones.  *BUT* el cheapo HID bulbs are not a patch on the OE ones. Hence, one of my cars has 15yr old bulbs, and the other has 10yr old bulbs.

Not touting but I have a pair of mint HID's on the breaker with good bulbs in, may prove cheaper than new bulbs
