HID bulbs: where to buy?

Any suggestions on where to buy good HID replacement bulbs (D2R) for a '02 at a decent price? I didn't realize how expensive they can be...

Thanks

Ebay...they're a lot cheaper now than they used to be.
Just look for OEM Philips or Sylvania.

Wow.. it took awhile to scroll down past all the pointless **** talkin remarks from everyone else in the forum.
But now, back 2 subject...
I hit a deer in April and had to get a new headlight. I saved all the bulbs (which still work) in light of something like this. haha no pun intended. If you need 'em for both sides I can't help you, but I'm willing to sell what i have. Message or email me if interested.

$112 for the cheapest pair of HID bulbs??!!


Damn it!


I am considering HID for my foggies and one of the questions I had was about how long these bulbs last and how much to replace them...


The fog kit is about $130.. and apparently the HID replacement bulbs are $112..... Sounds too much for some bulbs...


Are they supposed to last like much more than regular H3 bulbs?

ya dude,,they are pretty pointless..i dont think the OP really cares if its been discussed .. its not like he's gonna get banned or something. and at the very least, its a legitimate question because he is getting tips as to who has them for sale.

Greetings Maxima.Org People

I am glad to announce that there is a new (well some what new) site selling HID kits and Bulbs.

Please visit www.GO4HID.com for more information; I think you guys will be very interested in them Great Prices.

I am also a good friend with the owner of this company, and I convinced him to give Maxima members discount if he sees a potential interest from this Forum.


Quick Facts:
• There are currently about 3-5 cars within Ottawa driving around with stickers on there cars advertising www.GO4HID.com.
• This company relies in Ottawa, Ontario, but their warehouse does not.
• They do not offer a local pickup and all their sales are done via online.
• 2-3 days express shipping to customers front door with tracking number.

Visit www.GO4HID.COM for more information.

Best
