Hid bulb problem

MM-370 · 10-03-2011, 07:52 AM

Hey guys

I purchased a set of D2S bulbs off ebay not long ago and have had this problem where they take 2-3 goes to start up, ive posted on another thread about this issue and got the answer that the pin on a few D2S bulbs dont work well with the ballast!

I was just wondering if anyone has used D2S: Morimoto 3Five (35w) The Retrofit Source Inc

Do they work, and are they good is the question?

I used some D2S off Amazon, they were $60$, try them, the ones i bought seemed to be sold out, but you won't be dissapointed they have 6k, 9k, 10,k and 12k and beyond, the 12ks I have held up great for me so far. :knock on wood:

Did you know what brand they were? Also do they have to say bi-xenon or are D2S bulbs bi-xenon?

Found some on legit ones on ebay for 90 bucks, so think i might go with them, just hope the ballast doesn't have any problems with it. Gave up on trying to look for RIGGS 6000k bulbs, they got a good rating from the other guys on the forum.

6000k Phillips HIDS i bought work perfect, just bought some Phillips 6000k led parking lights, Old leds i bought were 6700k which had a little bit of blue which didn't match (T_T)
