hey i want to apologize in advanced if i am bringing up a topic that was said before, sticky, etc. i want to also apologize if my questions are stupid common sense questions (which they most likely are) but i rather have re-assurance from more experienced people like all of you guys before i waste more money.

i need some help with HID's. i usually go to someone locally who does it for me but i want to learn to do this type of stuff on my own and be more cost effective.

it looks like i need new bulbs. i originally had bulbs that were high and low inclusive. that is bi-xenon right? how long do they usually last? mine were on for maybe a year tops before 1 went bad..

my heads are h1's (i'm pretty sure they are) just to play it safe, those who have these lights-



h1's right?


now when i google bi-xenon h1 or even ebay them, i find links directing me to products that say projector bulbs. as shown in the picture above, i do not have projectors but would the bulbs i found be ok? where do you guys get your bulbs? can someone recommend a bulb for me? i am looking for 4300-5k high and lows. i want something that's not going to crap out on me nor do i want a cheap bulb.

the person who installed my kit originally told me that i would have high and low beams, which both worked before 1 bulb went bad. is it safe to say that i have ballasts that support highs and lows? i know they are slim ballasts..

thanks guys i really appreciate any input.

 

PM a mod and ask them to move the thread...you post in the classifieds

 

Cefiro's use H4's IIRC unless they're the ones with projectors which use H7's.

 

Why not have the person that helped you have a look and teach you while having a look?

 

bump anyone mind answering my questions?

 

no, not bump. did you read anything anyone ****in said?

 

Another option is to actually take the bulb out and see what kind is installed. That should tell you what kind you need to order.

If I were to guess though, you need H4 with the high beam option.

They look something like this.

 

HID bulb in a halogen housing how about you do some more research and find what happens to your housing... better yet the hundreds of people you will blind...

 

let's be mature. i did not want to put the member who helped me out on blast. if you have nothing positive to say, don't contribute. thanks.

 

i have halogen housings? aren't halos used with projectors?

 

thanks man. i appreciate your help.
