New HID bulbs fitted
« on: 13 January 2011, 15:05:38 »
As requested by members here are a few pictures of my new HID bulbs.

The Ebay one was an utter failure, it did not even strike.
The Osram one is OEM and is getting on for 11 years old.
The Phillips is the new one which work perfectly.



The near side has a new Phillips fitted and the off side has the original Osram fitted. The new Phillips is clearly a whiter light but I don't know whether this is down to the deterioration of the OEM bulbs.



I got the new Phillips bulbs from HUDS4U. They arrived within three working days and were well packaged at £57 for the pair  ;)

I hope this help you all out. :y :y
