Need new bulb for headlight (low beam)
Other than STFA, what are good bulbs for a decent price and where did you get them from?
I dont know much about lights, dont care to much about it but if you can give me the basics that would be great (what i should look for, what not to buy etc)!
Thanks

replace the set so they match...
osram or phillips... ebay is one place... if you go to dealer they will rip you off insanely. just make sure its d2s and not some asian knock off company...

Osram Zenarc D2S low beam HID from eBay not the dealer.
H7 is the high beam.
And with the money you save from
over the stealership prices you can afford
to buy two bulbs .
If you buy one they won't match because they
fade over time.<ul><li><a href="http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&from=R10&a mp;_trksid=m37&satitle=Osram+D2S&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=18103&sab fmts=1&saobfmts=insif&am

i've always purchased them from ebay
philips or osram bulbs should be fine. i believe it'll say 35w on it. BE SURE TO GET D2S, as opposed to D2R. if they are touting the color frequency, stock is 4100-4300k. as that number gets higher, the color gets more blue but lumens will decrease.
