I need 2 Hid bulbs for a 2k2 maxima. Any suggestions? Will I be able to use my OEM ballasts also? And what kind of rating do the bulbs come in. Also where can i buy them? thanks everybody.

Vasily: the bulbs are d2Rs

they are 35W, all HIDs for cars are this way. the reason they must be D2Rs is the fact that we use a reflector (hence the R) versus a projector (d2p's). Sotck color is 4300k because they have the best output. 6000k look nicer, but put out less light. Check around online for the bulbs, or call dave burnette at 1888-254-6060

 

I thought the bulbs for projector lenses was D2S's?

 

They are d2s bulbs for projectors. I'm ordering some 6500k bulbs from here this week.

It is D2S for projectors....I dunno what (probably made up) D2Ps are....

 

Projectors are D2S (the S is for Shield).

 

xenondepot.com is way overpriced. $124.99 for one bulb if I'm not mistaken is way too much. There are other places with cheaper bulbs.

 

Do you have any links for cheaper places?

 

I believe Umnitza is having a sale in the GD section.

search around e-bay, i bought a used set of philips 6000K for $55 and a new set of 8000k from from the ebay link above, $100 for 2 bulbs + 1 year warranty, as compaired to xenondepot $124 for 1 bulb w/ a 30 day warranty. yea xenondepot is way overpriced,

 

You also have to be careful which brand you buy, umnitza has the xtecs which are good. My friend has 6000k on his bimmer with projectors and those things are real purple. So I know that xtec is good. If you dont want to pay a lot and you are willing to take a risk at not knowing what you are getting then I would say go on ebay and buy bulbs there. There are a lot of sellers under $100 for a pair of 6000k or 8000k. Since you dont have projectors I would advice you not to get anything higher than 6000k because you output will not be good at all, unless you are willing to give up road visibility for a nice looking color.

 

here is a picture of xtec 6000k bulbs on a bmw in a non projector housing.



Here is a picture of philips 6000k, Im not sure if this is projector houisng or not.
