HID Bulb advise.

I bought my car with HID's installed in the headlights and the foglights. I'd like to get a spare set of bulbs so when one goes out I got one to replace it with. Can these be bought at Pep Boys, Autozone ect? If not can someone hook me up with either a vendor here or a website to get them from.

The wraper on the wires going to my bulb says 9007-HL-JU-103. What this means I have no idea. Hopefully someone here can lend some advise. Thanks in advance!

What kind of head lights do you have?

Your Foglight bulb size is an H11

PM Mkulrey13 or keiserX13. They both work for BuyHIDs and provide excellent customer service!

get a set of 9007 bixenon bulbs from buyhids.com, for the stock headlights, or pick up a set of H11 bulbs for spares for the fog lights.

For this you'd most likely have to pick up another ballast, I don't think a single beam ballast will work for a Bi-Xenon. Do you know if your High Beams are HIDs also?

I didn't know if bixenon was in the ballast or not. I've only ever worked with single xenon bulbs, I just assumed it was in the bulb since all the bulb has to do is move.

I have no clue. I think they're different though.

Well, I'm not sure if you could pick up a Bi-Xenon kit without upgrading ballast but you could ask keiserX that

Ok, Which ballast( a 35W or 55W) would be the better set up for a Bi-Xenon Kit?

you would need a Bi-Xenon relay harness and 9007 Bi-Xenon bulbs

I had a single beam kit for 6+ months and was fine (light wise) and now have retros using the same ballasts

the harness for Bis have an extra plug for the hi/low control to move the bulbs (or shutter in retros)

if your going to buy that just buy the whole kit. most hids out there are garbage anyway lets be honest so ur gonna spend how much for bulbs and a relay kit then ur bullshit ballast you have now is gonna break a month later.

buy the whole shibang and **** it leave what u have in the car then if and when **** ***** up all you have to do is swap a plug and bulb

What are you complaining about? My last HID kit lasted me for almost 1.5 years? And he is planning on buying spare parts incase a bulb does go out?
