has any one bought any of their replacement Xenon D2R bulbs from ebay that can range from like $20-$40 bucks shipped ? If so anyone have good luck or bad luck with them ?

Here are a few examples

i have the 8K's had em for 4 months now, and they work perfect, i forgot what i paid, it was the vendor that had a green fast shipping as the main pic with the bulb in the back... when it gets darker ill take a pic

 

eh, you get what you pay for i guess

 

i did... i paid for some 8K HID bulbs and thats what i got

 

i got mine from the seller HIDKING or something.. they work great.. have been on the car for 7 months or so.. it was $40 shipped IIRC

 

Be careful who you buy from, been screwed over several times within the past 6 months, everybody on eBay thinks D2C is D2R. Most sellers will send you D2C if you ask for D2R. I gave up and went with DDMTuning.com, was well worth it.

 

well 100% of the HID bulbs or kit sellers that i've seen on ebay tells you to include in your notes what type bulbs/Kit you want to avoid confusion because they have almost every bulb in stock, so i would hope you would contact the seller to verify your bulb type

 

Even sending them a picture of what i want, they say they have whats pictured and still send the wrong bulbs. These came from the following sellers---> Supervtec, jgllc, and zgperformance. I advise not to buy from them.

 

I've ordered several kits and bulbs from a seller on ebay, xenonwholesale88. I've never had a problem with them and they ship out their items very quickly. They also have every kind of bulb in stock so you have to specify before you buy. I've made several purchases using them and have nothing but good things to say, so if you wanna give them a try go for it, here's a link. They're about $25.99 free shipping.

get the phillips which are oem, you won't be disapointed. A lot of the colored ones like 6k 8k etc will last about 6-10 months and start to go pink.

 

I got mine (2-low beams) 2 yrs ago from Jcwhitney so far no complains I think I paid about $70 each

Ebay 8K's so far they are perfect... srr for the cell phone pics

 

i bought some on ebay for my old civic. usually the ebay ones are reputable ones to deal with so have no hesitation when saving money haha

 

guys on this forum is very funny

 

Old post, but just to verify - D2R would be what I'm looking for, correct?

I'm looking here. Thinking I want the 8000K bulbs because I like the almost-blue look of newer HIDs rather than just bright white.

 

Yeah, it seems like you get a slightly different color depending on where you get your bulbs.... I got 8000K's from ddmtuning.com and they are just very slightly blue... some 8000K's seem really blue...
and while on this note, I highly recommend ddmtuning for HIDs. You can get replacement D2Rs for $15 and they're great!

 

Crap. Now I'm debating between the 8k and 10k... although I know the 10k won't be as bright. Hmmm.

 

Yeah, I like a little blue, but not tooooo much. 8000K was the perfect choice for me... and it lights up the road really nice. My sig pic doesn't really show the blue in them very well... but they definitely do have a blue-ish tone to them.

 

Finally ordered my HIDs. Decided to go with the 10k because I want the dramatic blue. Almost went 12k, but decided I have enough police attention with my lead foot. Don't need more attention from strange purple headlights...

 

i bought some 12k and it seems like when its humid or rainy outside the passenger side headlight wont turn on i have to keep turning it on and off till it finally goes on....so i thought maybe its the igniter so i popped my stockies back in and they turn on every time....i also paid 15.99 for mine so what do you want....lesson learned

 

Sounds like a poor connection somewhere

 

Where'd you get yours from?

 

i got them off ebay....i don't remember the sellers name

 

look at your feedback that would tell you.

 

Were these the ones?

I am trying to find something that will be plug and play and I wont have to buy on ebay.

Phillips Germany bulbs are only offered in 4300k and i am looking for 6k

 

Got my 8000k from HIDextra.com 32 bucks for both had for like 3 months and still good and blue looking!!

 

yes thats ddm tunning that was reffered

here you go oem 6000K Philips

wow $90 for a single bulb. Not trying to be cheap but such a price difference.

 

hey you want oem bulbs, you should know it will be at a higher price then aftermarket. I seen a oem set sell on ebay for $125 for 6000K just keep a eye out thats the best bet

 

Came in the mail today I got them installed! Got the 10k bulbs and they look awesome! I'll take some picts tonight!

 

Im not sure if they can be OEM if they are 6000k, but good to know I wonder what the quality was like.

10k...eh.... i think thats a bit too much of goin backwards.

 

it was Philips, so it was 100% oem make. If i can find another set I will post them up. Philips make 4300,5000,and 6000K bulbs.
here is one quick link

I've used DDM for all my HID needs...Motorcycles and cars...well priced and reputable...even had a problem once and they fixed it ASAP! If something does go wrong, how much of a pain will it be to get new ones from an ebay seller???

 

Left side is the original 6k, right is the new 10k from DDM


Both new 10k

 

Good luck with the cheap bulbs man They tend to suck sure there are people who have them last long but its just not worth it to me I go with Philips.

 

They look fine to me! (But yes, I did save the original bulbs just in case.)

 

DDM uses the same ****ty Chinese bulbs you can get on ebay for $13/pair. Get some proper 85126 D2R bulbs for $50/pair for the best light.

 

thanks for the link, i would prolly try the 6k from them, if the time ever came to replace oems.
