HEAD LIGHT BULB

[Picasso]

Just had a head light bulb fail on my alphard so i already had the part no. so i phoned my local totota dealer for a price a mouth watering £261.93 + VAT i had to ask him to repeat it one bulb that much. after a lot of digging around i found some perfect fit ones these are 1000 bright so look lot better than the yellow looking one on my alphard £59.95 for 2 with free next day shipping anyone who wants the link pm me .

Here is the link for the bulbs i purchased https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126210209012?hash=item1d62b6f4f4:g:K24AAOSwYwRlZcsS as said in my first message toyota quoted me a mouth watering £261.93 + vat for one bulb. so at £59.95 for a pair of bulbs with free next day shipping is a very good deal.

Yeah for some reason factory xenon bulbs tend to cost a fortune.  Thankfully there's no need to buy them anymore as most of the companies that make the OEM bulbs (primarily Philips, Osram but also others) sell them aftermarket.

 

I've been thinking about doing mine at some point as Xenon bulbs do age and don't burn as well as when new (so light output affected).  Philips xtremevision Gen 2 are probably the way I'll go.

 

Just have to be careful replacing bulbs pre FL Vs FL as the bulbs are different....believe pre FL (non adaptive) Xenons are D4R and the FL (adaptive) Xenons are D2S.

 

59 quid for a pair of bulbs is good though as that's about the price of one Philips xtremevision.
