Hi All,

I have burned my HID bulb. When I asked at SC it cost more than RM500 per bulb. It is totally crazy.
Would like to ask if anyone have any recommendation for alternative bulb which we can use. At Brothers they do sell the bulbs but is it safe for our pugs?

BTW, I have a 407 (2009). Hopefully you can advice.

Cheers.

which bulb type/size for your car???


usually bulb is universal fitting (as long as the type was correct)

u can get aftermarket bulb...

i think it would be D2s/D2r bulb for common oem HID car...so u just get it in mudah.my or anywhere u prefer...i recommend u to get osram Cool Blue Intense bulb (osram CBI)

I had burned my original HID bulb on my Volvo as well, since original Volvo bulb cost me bomb as well so I went to Sunway famous "car modify heaven" brought those so call china made HID buib with rm1++ per pc, and it works well for many years. p/s : pls bring alone your car owner handbook for reference of your bulb type.

Bro. Richard,
How is the focusing? My halogen ones even though same model the focusing also out, need to adjust down, but even after adjust, the light seems dispersed..... smile_blackeye.gif

Going back to dealer would be slightly better because they use geniune products and knows how to align the beams.

if you go aftermarket, you may have alignment issues (which is very common for halogens).

Bro Vr2turbo, I didn't notice any off focus of light after replaced with china made HID bulb , maybe is due to my car was fitted with self level adjustment function for the head light.
