OSF xenon bulb replacement
Hi,
So it had to give up the ghost right whilst I'm on a roadtrip didn't it? I just wondered where people get their replacements, what the type of bulb is and what brand, colour people go for? Am thinking mine might be a D2S and 4300k but not sure so wanted to check. Cheers, Oli

Cheers, Oli

Having looked at various options last week I fitted a pair of these to replace the very dim factory fitted lamps, I figured for a tenner I didn't have much to loose compared to much more for branded versions.
I have been pleasantly surprised and it really did highlight just how dim the old ones had got, it was like upgrading from candles

They are indeed D2S. 4300k should be closest to the factory xenons. I just bought some cheap £12 bulbs off eBay rather than a named brand and have been perfectly happy with them.

Cheap D2S from Ebay does the job. Regarding Colour i absolutely prefer 6000K

I bought some cheapies off eBay and ended up replacing them as they were not as bright as the ones before.
Just bought some standard 4300k Phillips from eBay and put them in yesterday, much better results and the car is back as it should be. Osram seem to be very expensive and Euro Car Parts/ Car parts 4 less are also pricey.
