Default has anyone bought xenon light bulbs off ebay?

sorry to post here but auction ends soon!

has anyone had experience with these bulbs? (H4 ULTRA XENON HEADLIGHT BULBS)

seem a bit cheap and although they don't promise the world are they an improvement over std 60/55W bulbs?

dont remember a name of a company but there were these guys selling quality philips xenon bulbs, a little more than what the others are cost but the good thing is. If you can get someone else to buy a set, you will get some side light ones free.

So for around 12 quid you get both headlamp and side lamp bulbs

Surely looking back your ebay buying history will show the sellers details to help this guy out ??

I got mine from a seller on ebay called Precious Parts. They were great (since sold the car though) and am about to order more from them. They came pretty quickly too, I think they dispatch the same day.

Watch out for extras that some of the sellers put on to the price, one in particular charges postage and then extra insurance per item. Fully research what you're buying before you bid.

Good luck!

How much were they on ebay?

The Auto Express mag did a test and found that Osram SilverStars were the best. The cheapest place I've found for them is here

motorworld, do them for roughly the same price as on the net.

£13.99 all types,,

although if you have seperate mains and highs its a tad expensive but.....

even cheaper... if you go to the supermarkets in germany...

the same bulbs, 60% brighter 9 feckin euros, and they say its a fair market..

i got mine there last time, but changed cars, and wont be out there for some time
