HID replacement bulb question

Recommended Posts

so both of the low beam hids on my audi are blown and i need to get replacements but after doing a bit of looking i am unsure of what i should get. any tips on what and where to get them. Also it is a 2000 audi a6 quattro.

Thanks for the help,

Derick

I would not go aftermarket, so I would stick with the dealer, or a local parts store that sells OEM replacement/quality parts. Unless yours are already aftermarket.

 

This was my thinking, but I didn't know if they came factory with HIDs or not.

yeah they came with factory hids but the parts store around me has to order them so i fiqured i might be able to just order them myself

 

Well order and wait, did they both burn out at the same time? If they didn't then shame on you for not ordering them sooner lol. I bet the dealer has them, but they will want significantly more for them than the parts store.

 

We just got a pair from NAPA for a Cooper S that were in stock for about $140 OUR COST for the pair. If you haven't checked yet O'Reilly's may be an option for you since a handful of members on this board work there and Columbusracing has a account there so you can get wholesale/shop pricing.

Will warn you, it's pretty rare to have both go simultaneously..are you sure you don't have an electrical issue ?

This ^^^^

where rubber gloves when replacing the bulbs, and I hope its just the bulbs and not the HID inverters if the headlight housings have moisture in them then chances are the inverters are bad
