Re: low beam bulb
i suggest get a white led bulb, as the white one always match any HID, u've seen mine one before, your HID not as blue as mine so it should be ok, mine one 8000K, and still match with the white led. the bulb last shorter its probably because u turn on the light even on the day time....hhehe..coz everysingle time i saw u. your HID never turn off..fto617 wrote:hey guys i need to change my low beam bulb

Did you get a professional to install them for you? I know it sound stupid, as its only an 1/2 hr DIY, but when I had mine professionally installed, they put extra washer (for earthing), heat/dust/water proof cover on each ballast. And I'm running each one off an individual fuse safety relay kit as well, so they will protect the bulbs from burning out.
Anyway get something like BJUnion or Maruta HID bulbs, which IMO are much better, it will cost more, but you already know by now that you get what you paid for.

I got confuse when you put low beam & HID together. I think your chingrish is just as "good" as mine hahahahaafto617 wrote:hey guys i need to change my low beam bulb

Anyway BJUnion & Mitec sells Halogen globes too, but like tj2709 said, you be better off with LED. They last much longer, and they are your park lights not low beam
