I have a Xenon HID kit on my car and need a replacement bulb. Aparently these are not very common in australia yet and I am finding it very hard to find anyone who sells these globes.

Can anyone tell me where i can get these globes in australia, preferably sydney?

Here is a picture of what they look like.

I just bought one for my gtr.. cost was around $230 per globe. See HELLA or NIRVA.. I think Bursons was the cheapest. Remember they all come out of the same factory "OSMAN~ I think"

Ouch! $220 per globe !? Try this guy -- US$80 per set of original Philips D2Rs:

I found a place in sydney that has them in stock. For anyone in future who has this problem try autojoy in paramatta. I got the crystal purple D2C globes (which is the same fitting as D2R) for $200.

They will be getting more colors soon.

Who makes those globes? And $200 is a bit of a gouge IMHO.  

The only globes you want are the original Philips or Osrams, and you shouldn't be paying more than US$60-80 for them (so about A$100).

Are u sure they are the same globes though. I also spoke to philips directly and they quoted me $380 for the 2 globes. Not as bad as BMW though where all the latest cars are coming out with xenon HID globes and u would expect to pay $500 for one globe.

The philips part no. is 85126 and the type is D2R. If anyone can find a set in Australia for less than $200 I will be impressed. I spent 2 days searching for these.

90% of places had not ever seen or heard of of these globes (One goose at auto 1 told me its not even an automotive globe, I told him yeah I got it off my boat)

9% of the places had some idea what they were when looking through their computer systems, they had none in stock but could order them in for a small fortune.

And then autojoy had them in stock for a great price.

The brand was Kaixen D2C and they have a webpage www.kaixen.co.kr not in engrish though.

Damo: Yes, I have personally bought from aznboy before -- a set of brand new original Philips D2S bulbs (part no. 85122) which I have sitting in front of me. Total cost was US$65 shipped (so about $90).

Those globes you bought are, I am afraid, likely crap. For starters there is no such thing as "D2C": its a marketing gimmick. Moreover, the bulbs are likely to have been rebased in Korea or (worse still) China, meaning they may only last a few months. If you can, I suggest you take them back...

If you are buying HID globes, only buy Philips or Osram originals. Everything else is not worth the money. If you don't believe me, check out:

http://faq.auto.light.tripod.com/ <-- the bible on HID

http://www.hidforum.com <-- checkout the numerous threads on bulbs

Edit: Also, never buy anything that is rated higher than 4100/4300 or at the most 5000. Anything higher and your wasting light output for "coloured" lighting.

What is aznboy? Sounds like the way to go, getting them shipped from the US. But why would have philips quoted me a price 4 times that amount.

aznboy711 = seller on HIDForum :) See:

Because that's the price Philips charges retail customers. OEM pricing is an entirely different matter.

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
