guys i bought my car with aftermarket HID's. 1 of my headlamps was out, and i took it to my mechanic and he said i need 1 new bulb. problem is the bulbs were glued in and the bad one the bulb was melted and i can't see the numbers. how can i fix this? help, thx in advance

 

if it's a PnP system, the bulb should be 9004.

 

I say take a picture and show us...someone is bound to know...

 

sorry if i sound like an a$$ but here goes. If the bulbs were glued in, that means they ddin't fit the car originally. and if the bulb melted, that means the bulb didn't fit the ballasts. is this correct??? and if they were glued in, even if you get another hid bulb, you'd still have to glue it in. and if you could take the other bulb off, you can see what size they are. but i doubt it this time that its's 9004 since they had to be glued in to fit. otherwise i wouldn't know of a reason someone would glue their hid bulb to the headlamp if they fit correctly

 

 

When you get a chance take that "kit" off your car, most of those aftermarket kits are garbage, not to mention illegal, there is no reason for it to melt, if you want to keep hids, get oem parts. http://www.hidplanet.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3505

 

i hear all that. but where can i buy the bulbs for cheap?

 

You've probably got "hot" (stolen) HID lights from an Acura or some other car. The bulbs are probably D2R or D2S type, thats why their glued into your headlights. Get the bulb out and read the numbers off the base. You can get replacements on line, they run anywhere from 150 on up.
