gco Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I have a 99 gs 400, my driver side HID bulb seems to stop working. sometimes when I turn the lights on and off a few times it would come on. I feel the bulb needs replacing, what is the best bulb replacement do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NT2SHBBY Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 best HID bulbs are stock Phillips. Best LOOKING bulbs are the Phillips Ultinons, because they emit a purplish hue similiar to that of the BMW projectors with HIDs. They are pricey, yes but worth it and you'd want a pair of them. Best pricing online comes from www.suvlights.com which is where I got mine They are $300 or so for the pair shipped, and suvlights is the ONLY authorized phillips vendor online to date good luck!

gco Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 Thanks for the input I will look into it right away. The problem I have with the bulb is that sometimes while driving the passenger side HID bulb would just go out, after a while they would just come back on. I assumed this is a bad bulb, I hope and nothing electrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 I don't know, I would expect the ballasts before the bulbs. HID bulbs last a really long time as they have no filament, they're supposed to outlive the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gco Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 what is a good way to test if its the ballast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
