Where to buy HID bulbs in Calgary (3000K)

[Tilly]

I'm looking to get 3000K D2S replacement bulbs for my car. Someone on here once sold kits and whatnot, are they still around? Or maybe somebody can point me to a reputable online dealer with reasonable prices and fast shipping?

Try the search function maybe? Been discussed so many times on Beyond.

Sub-Total: $39.99
Zone Rates (Shipping to CA : 3.1 lb(s)): $11.99
Alberta GST 5%: $2.00

Too bad folks in the city charge $100+
Arrived in a week, and been lazy to replace the burnt bulb.

I've got a pair of Morimoto (TRS house brand) 3000K D2S bulbs that I got from The Retrofit Source that I used for 2 weeks until I got pulled over for them. Put my Philips 85122+ bulbs back in after that.

Yours for $40 if you like.

Proper HID bulbs will cost around $100... 85122 runs about $100

Yellow? Of course they didn't.

^I thought yellow fogs are okay. I have yellow overlay on mine and I haven't gotten pulled over for it and I've had it for 2+ years (my fogs are always on when I turn on my low beams).

Yup, headlights must emit a "white" light. These are very much yellow.

Fogs are fine.

I guess I got lucky. I had 3000K from TRS before my Orsam CBI for one winter and didn't get pulled over.

how big of a difference will cheap vs. more expensive ballasts make?

no they wont, many $50 kits are the same quality as the $200 ones sold locally

[clem24]

Bulbs are usually fine.. They seem to last. It's the electronics in the ballast that seems to differ. The really crappy kits have shit electronics and tend to flicker. The medium quality ones don't flicker, but through normal use, self destruct in a year or 2. But for $50 for a full set, that's about what you'd pay for quality headlight bulbs that would probably last the same amount of time.. Can't complain.
