Lookin at upgrading the stock HIDs from my EVO to a slightly higher color temp. I saw some decent prices for D2S replacement bulbs for between $105-$140 for a pair. This sounds a little inexpensive compared to some other websites. Are they crap? Anybody have any they got off ebay?

What about the ones on this website?

**** **** ****, Please Do Not Buy These

 

d2s from what i remember, had some issues back in the days.

something about them not lasting a long time or having a different gas inside the bulb or something.

is there a d1s?

 

DS2 is the bulb size that's in our Evo's right now, so if you are to replace them, get size DS2.

The ONLY brands I recommend for HID bulbs and HID ballasts are the following (not 100% sure if they make a bulb size DS2 however): Philips, Raybrig, Sylvania, PIAA.

PIAA's HID bulbs were newly released btw, so check them out on their site.

 

raybrigs are AWESOME, pricey tho

 

I checked out PIAA's website, but i don't think they have any upgraded normal driving light bulbs, but they have them for the high-beams and the fog lamps. I would worry first about upgrading the fog lamps cause they ruin the color scheme of the low beams. The HID's are a nice blue, but the fogs are an ugly white.

 

Did you go to this link?: PIAA HIDs

They are already available for sale at vendors.

 

STOP BUYING EBAY PARTS FOR YOUR 30,000$ CAR! Do you even KNOW what improperly installed and bad quality HIDs can do?

UGHHHHH!

 

I was looking at the car sepcific bulbs.....if u look under the EVO, it has bulbs for the highs and fogs, but doesnt have anything for the lows. Anyways, thanks for the link!

Ah, ok, I see what you mean. Yeah, PIAA is sometimes a little slow on their updates.

Here is an application guide for D2S and D2R HID bulbs: D2S/D2R Application Guide

LOL! Yeah... very true. For car parts, you really get what you pay for, so if you buy cheap, you get cheap (hook-ups are an exception).

BTW, I'm also from Boston .

 

Cool, what part are you from?

 

I live in Quincy, just 7 miles south of Boston . First person to own an Evo there and I think one of the first two to own one in Boston. I did see a white Evo around Boston a couple of times, maybe one of them was you. Sorry, a little off topic here, lol!

*ahem* now, back to them HIDs...

 

Odd, the correct bulb for the EVO foglights are H11. PIAA has them incorrectly marked as H7.
