Cheap xenon bulbs. Any good?

The xenon bulbs in the car are very dim. Anyone recommend any reasonably priced replacements? They are the d2s fitting. Prices are ranging from 7 euro up to 140 euro each!

Whatever the cheapest you can get philips or osram for then go with them, the rest are muck. I got 2 philips ones 2 years ago for reasonable money from the UK, can't remember the site off hand.

What kind of a car is it ? BMW replace for free apparently.

Roughly what did you pay for the pair?

It's a nissan primera. Not a long term car so trying to keep the spending down on it.

ed china done a piece on bulbs and the cheap ones really are crap
he lit up a cheap bulb and a dear one then sprayed water on then the cheap one shattered

buying the dear one will pay off in the long run,plus the pain of changing bulbs

It was a good while ago but I think it was that xenonsforyou site. I never used the bulbs in the end.

Must of been on offer so. The philips and osrams are about 40stg each on that site. Still well priced compared to anywhere else I've seen.

I'll probably keep them, I've sold some bits recently and regretted selling them so I'll hang on to them for now.
