  1. Hi guys,

    My drivers side Xenon has just gone pinky/red and assume these means its going.

    Not sure what bulbs they are??
    Anyone recommend a place to buy a pair thats at a good price?
    And how easy are they to fit yourself?

    Regards,
    Mark
     
  2. Demon eyes!! Lol ...
     
  3. Haha. Anyone know what bulbs I'll need? 2007 225?
     
  4. Guessing they're d2s bulbs?
     
  5. D2s 100%
    Get genuine osrams.
    These have a reputation of delivering genuine bulbs.. There is a huge market for fake ones
    www.powerbulbs.com/eu

    Replace both bulbs as the pass side is going to go quicly also.

    And by the color it is failing (pink) i can say you have osrans now, philips colorshift to blue
     
  6. Mine did this, started flickering recently with cheap bulbs, so brought a set of genuine Philips 5000k (3 year warranty) which should arrive next week for £55 delivered.

    Milos I should have listened to you to begin with!
     
  7. I hope not the ultinons as they are not really the best.
    The 5ooo has low visiability in rain and wet roads.

    I recomend the 4300K for best performance
     
  8. These are the ones...

    Got these as I got them on a special offer at the time on a different website...

    Can't be as bad as my previous 8000k cheap bulbs! Haha
     
  9. Ok those are better than the ultinons :smile:
     
  10. Well that's promising. Haha. Always good to get a good response from yourself haha. :smile:
     
  11. Those are actually 4500K :smile: they were made to match the color of a used bulb.

    So you get slighter higher Kelvin rating without the quality loss of the 5oooK ones. Especially philips ultinons :smile:
     
  12. So still good then? 4500k is slightly better than OEM?!
     
  13. Oem is best :smile: but this is also OEM i would even say 4oooK would be better but those are rare as fook and only available in Japan by KOITO.

    But any genuine 4000-5000K is better than any chinese bulb.
     
  14. Cheers for the help guys! D2S's it is then.
    Are they a c**t to fit?
     
  15. Have to take the front bumper off mate.
     
  16. I really would have a look through the arch. My 2007 r26 had d1s bulbs
