I seem to be having a problem my HID bulbs keep burning out. Anyone have any suggestions on a decent HID bulb? 04 COUPE

 

OEM only. Preferably Philips, but Osram works as well.

 

Thanks........... PROPS...........

 

What about GE?

 

a little off topic guys, but i have an 04 coupe as well, and im looking for a fog light bulb to match exactly with the stock headlight bulb...anyone have a matching bulb please let me know

 

I don't want to spend $100 on each bulb thats just loco........

 

To be honest, not a fan.

I've always used Philips bulbs and never had a problem. You can get them for well under $100 a piece.

 

Good looking out thanks........

If you find one for a good price tell me. Whatever you do dont get it from ebay. I bought a "5000K" h4 light (fog) which should be pure white adn it was yellow/same as oem fog color.

this guy on here might have found a winner...the polarg bulb that he says hes using in his fogs are on sale on ebay for 50 bucks for the two bulbs, but the temperature is 4500k..i thought anything under 6000k has a yellow tint to it? im a little confused, but i want his exact set up with the bluish led in the clearance strip too!

 

No. New HID bulbs are typically 4300k. 5000k are color match bulbs.

 

What's the life on HID bulbs? Wikipedia says...

The average service life of an HID lamp is 2000 hours, compared to between 450 and 1000 hours for a halogen lamp.[36]

I'd look for a root issue after you get a new set in. They shouldn't be burning out.

 

$15 ebay hid bulbs here going 1.5 years strong

 

Perhaps you are getting moisture in your housing....

Check your radiator for leaks. I had this problem a while back.
