Buying D2S bulbs (non blue ~4300k) locally? Good pricing?

[m4gician]

Hey guys,

Any sources for some OEM D2S bulbs that are normal colour temp locally in the GTA? The dealer wants $150 each....lol I just hung up the phone. It would've saved them from hearing me swear every word in my repertoire.

Nobody (or very hard to find) locally will carry OEM, except dealership. You are better off buying online. I would think your local car dealer will want about $120 per.


Powerbulb with voucher code "HIDPLANET" - 15% off with Free worldwide shipping ... works out to $120 -$125 Cdn for two bulbs.

thanks for the link, OEM really are just philips bulbs most of the time, rebranded. If I can find some philips d2s bulbs i'd be happy.

There are also the fake Philips out there ... Chinese made and stamped with Philips logo on them. Therefore be aware ... if it's too cheap in price, then you know they are not real.

There is a person I buy them from locally in Richmond Hill, he does retrofitting.

I think it's around $40 for a pair. Doubt they are Philiips. Been using them for a year and no complaints from me. PM if you want details.

ddmtuning.com. Very reputable company and I have ordered many times from them. Never a single problem. Not local, but dirt cheap!

$15 for the pair. Will come to approx $25-30 shipped to Canada.

very true about ebay i actually bought my pair of d2s bulbs from china for 15 dollars with shipping and they have been working for a year now, i actually bought ones locally before from a guy for 80 bucks and had to keep going back because one would blow out every few weeks go figure
