Anybody know where to get HID bulbs?

Looking for some 9006 HID bulbs, can't find them anywhere.
Anybody got any ideas? I want the real xenon 6000K stuff,
no cheapies.. Anyway, I was quoted about 150 per bulb
from each shop I went to.

Try contacting member 97GLES ... he might be able to help you or at least point you in the right direction.

I doubt you have to buy the whole kit. If one of the bulbs go out (which rarely happens) there must be a way to replace them. You should try asking yo_its_ok. He deals HID kits and might be able to get you the bulbs. They are not cheap though. I'm pretty sure they go for at least $100 a bulb.

i sell the osram kit if you need a set of 6000k bulbs you must be using that set up. if you need the regular type hid bulb i can get a direct fit 9006 for you for $169 a pair. try yo it's okay maybe he can help you out better than i can.

bmw which is not a direct fit for the 9006 sell the hid bulbs for $140 each.

Osram HID capsules...I've had those for 7 months and the light turned very purplish and very dim...so dim that I could not drive with those at night any longer, so I turned to http://www.autolamps-online.com/ and got a pair of genuine Philips D2R HID capsules for $144.95/each, free shipping world-wide and tax-free. Although those capsules' bases are not a perfect fit and require some cutting/sanding, but only took me 10 min to do, and the bluish light output is nice and very bright too! Well, I rather stick with the Philips HID's cuz performance is what I'm after, and not the cool purplish hue you see from MBz's HID's.

Hey 97GLES, do you sell 6k bulbs separately? And if so, do they fit my 9004 OSRAM kit? Thanks
