Is anyone in need of xenon bulbs?
« on: January 06, 2013, 10:33:20 am »
Just a feeler to see if anyone is in need? Im going to buy a few sets hopefully.

Once i have bought them they will appear in the for sale thread, this is not a group buy.

Anyone?

Which bulbs Rich, OEM?

If it's of any help, I just bought the Osram Silverstars SVS. Bit pricey but well worth it as the increased area of vision at night is unbelievable.  :happy2:

Yes I might be!  I think one of mine is on its way out!   Is it best to replace both at the same time?

I think they will be Osram or Philips DS2, which are OE on VAG cars.

Just waiting on price.

Got them off Marijus on eBay, trades as Xelix Trading. eBay item number: 280996677833 £112.50 delivered. I know it sounds a lot for bulbs, but they are well worth it!

Sorry if I'm redirecting trade here!  :signLOL:
