As per the topic does anyone know a retail shop i can just walk into and buy some xenon globes?

Also perhaps at some cheaper prices than what I have listed below.

Don't want to order online and wait x amount of days, need them right now as one blew last night.

Bursons don't have any in stock, need to order same with Autobarn.

One Bursons store in the eastern suburbs quoted $250 for a Philips d2r 4200k whilst another Bursons store two suburbs away quoted $330. So it pays to ring around. Also a little peeved at the dramatic price difference from the same retail outlet.

Autobarn quoted.

Philips d2r

$344 4200k

$400 5000k (approx)

$453 6000k

Narva d2r

$319 4200k

No one had prices on Britax d2r globes but can order them in.

Pete

pretty sure theres a dude in the SE somewhere that fits them for 70$ or something..

ask TJ RBPOWA he knows where :(

i'd give u a spare but mine all blew when i was having issues :P

Yeah mate I stock D2R's $65 express delivered a pair, currently have 4500K, 6000K & 8000K temp on hand.

The brand I use have actually outlasted my old Phillips set.

will try to remember your sig i have one blown but it is one of the parkers do you know if there zennons or is it only the main driving lights

Freddy,

I called Bursons Mitcham who quoted $250, Bayswater quoted $330.

That's cool dont worry about checking for me, but thanks for the offer.

I'm going to take up Dan's offer, that price is too good to pass up.

Cant afford $250+ spending at moment, all that money for a single globe :)

Dan,

How do I go about ordering, should I drop you pm?

Mick,

Pretty sure parkers are standard T5 wedge type. Cant quite remember if 12v5w or 12v10w.

I just chucked some T5 LED bright white autotechnia brand in there to try and match the

xenon white....fairly close.

yeh thanks had a good look tonight will take one out to get it matched just noticed the it other night when i left my lights on so didnt really look ..you would think bursons would be standard prices all over but it pays to shop around bursons must make up there prices on the day if sales are down prices go up

thanks Mick

Mine blew tonight as well..

Can water affect the bubs? I would assume they would be covered from any water in or around the engine?

What do I even need? (M35)

Is it just a matter of replacing the bulb?

Sorry to hijack the thread - its kinda relevant!

T10 wedge actually :P

I had T10 written before i posted then i second guessed myself and put T5 :)

WTBN, couldn't imagine it would help.

The headlight unit is very well sealed but in saying that, the one that blew had

a slightly fogged up lens the other the other morning, so moisture could have been a factor.

NM35 is D2R also. 4500k is std but, I reckon 6000k go a bit better, that's what I've used in the past.

Jaycar have got the h4 / h3 types not d2r. But wouldn't be surprised if the could order them in.

Never thought to check with them though.

Got my situation sorted today, popped over to see a forum member who lives close by, he is parting

out his Stag (rip) and got the original/oem 2x philips d2r 4200k. So have a spare now in case another blows.

I was even looking at 5000k, bit of a compromise between 4200 & 6000 to try and get get a whiter light.

As the higher the k rating the less light penetration you get.

Hence I wouldn't get 8000-10000k, as it would not light up the road as good.

Still thinking I should get some of 666Dan at that great price.

there is a Importer on Bridge Road Keysborough, the only one so its not hard to miss. he offered me one for $70 installed no return.... the no return policy made me keep my $70 in my pocket :D

check ebay, you can buy pairs for as little as $100 :) that way you wont have any gay multi color head lights like our friend Tom-Tom has

lol :D

If you have the round cover on the rear of your headlights screwed on correctly, no chance water will get in.

For M35's -

D2R Xenon

H4 Highbeam

T10 parker/indicator

You may gate away with just replacing the bulb, just make sure that it is the same as the one already in there (factory are 4300k).

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
