How much do HID bulbs cost? Needed for conversion!
I've been searching stores, but I can't seem to find just the bulbs. I have an HID system available to me, but I need bulbs that will fit the H4 holes for my headlight. The ones that are here have square backs that aren't going to fit in the round hole. I don't know of too many auto lighting stores, so my searching is coming up empty. I have everything else to do the conversion. The box is from a 2002 Blackwood and puts out 85 V, I need HID bulbs that will mount in H4 brackets. I also think I'm going to lose the brights (stock headlights... Just 1 bulb), but it's doubtful I'll need them.
Someone help....Thanks.

Rep Power: 0 Your best bet is to try sites that deal with HID only. They can get you the bulb for our H4 housings. They may run you in the $100 - $200 range for a pair I think. You can also try ebay and search for HID.

Do you know where I can find HID only places? I don't care about $100-$150 for the pair, considering Hyperwhites are about 80, but it seems as if they're more like $250 a pair. I have to do some searching before I actually do this, it looks like some modifying is needed to reduce the glare and reflections off the high beam reflectors (its either that or new projectors), but I have the parts available to me. My friend got 2 sets, so he was also thinking of upgrading his car too.

Yes, and thank you[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG], but if someone knows about more, then I'd like to know about them too (the whole price shopping thing).

IF you check out Hefe's post of suvlights.com, the philips bulbs are $5 cheaper for the pair, rather than going thru groupbuy. I thought groupbuycenter was cheaper than most. I guess you have to really know prices when it comes to HID bulbs or else you could be taken for a ride. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

There it is! That's what I was looking for... I needed to get rid of the high beam glare, and the bulb comes with the shield. Thanks Nucks!
