Xenon Bulbs

[Kilkenny]

Does anybody have any ideas as to where to get Xennon bulbs for my 09 Superb. One of the bulbs is gone and dealer wants €250. for a bulb...

Many thanks

£70-75 + p&p for the Osram ones.  Always change in pairs.

 

Check with the dealer if it's just the bulb that needs to be changed or the ballast as well.

250? Were they having a laugh ?

Have you tried the motor factors ? Halfrauds would also be worth a try if you have a trade card.

I've seen great reviews about the Osram 'Xenarc' bulbs, supposedly the best in the business but pricey at about £110 each.

Do the Osram xenarc nightbreakers produce 70% more light than the standard Osram xenarc bulbs?

If you happen to be in Waterford you can get them in Deevys Motor Accessories (just around the corner from Barretts).  I was quoted around €120 before for a xenon bulb fitted.  Not sure what brand or if still the same price but worth a try as they will fit them properly!

I fitted a set of these to a previous BMW 3 Series replacing the standard fit bulbs, and have to say that other than being a bit 'whiter', I didn't really notice a notable increase in the performance - not compared to what I expected when reading the '70% more light' claim!!

Osram Xenarc, always change both sides at once!

BTW Kilkenny I think I have just seen your L&K - did you have it in the dealers today? Not too many brown L&Ks around here so caught my eye as I drove past. ( I just work down the road from there). Anyway Looks very well if it was yours and cleaner than mine!

Superb 170 my L&K is in the dealers in Clonmel at the min for first service. Goin there now to collect it.

Again many thanks lads.

Be careful where you buy them. There are loads of good looking fakes out there that won't last and the light output will be crap.

A genuine D1S burner should be around £70 a pop.
