Just Installed Super Plazma Xenon Bulbs. V Nice

[Brettster]

Hi Group Ive just installed a set of these (the bulb on the left is one of the Philips Blue Vision lights for comparison)

Here is a better view of the bulbs

They seem alot whiter and more like the HID look I was after more than the Philips bulbs.

These pics are not as good as how the lights look in the flesh but just for you all to see.

here is the new Plazma Xenon bulb.

and here is the Philips Blue Vision Bulb.

I got them from eBay.com and they cost with shipping $26.99 and came in 4 days....

Do you have a link? cos i cant seem 2 find the right ones ?

PS looks v.nice :)

[Steve]

sorry for sounding dumb (no jokes! :arrrggg-matey: )

but on the packet it says 80w... am I going to melt the cluster with these as they will be sitting inside projector lights units??

[GXE10]

yes.. i was using 80W bulbs b4.......... and it melted the bulb holder

[wildrnes]

look at the box it says 2x 55w

then it says

80W

with writing underneath

which could mean

equivalent to?

i would think if you stuck 80 watt lights in some one might not be too happy with sitting in front of you in traffic whilst their retina are slowly being stripped

here is a link to the guy who's selling them on eBay, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=1874202489

as far as I can tell from my 2 years of Japanese language lol they are 55 watts but the light output is rated to that of an 80watt halogen bulb, been running them for an hour + and the light housing seems warm to the touch but not melting hot. I'll keep an eye on the heat.

Here is the US eBay link for these. (Auction now closed)

Ebay Link

Here is a link to the sellers web site.

www.kobausa.com

There is a group buy for Super Plazma Xenon Headlight bulbs here

If there is any interest in these alternative's then a group buy can be started for these too.

WARNING!!!! Do not use these bulbs for a long time - they turn the plastic lenses opaque! they put out a lot of UV. im having to polish the lenses to remove the initial layer of damaged plastic. you have been warned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Rob,

Can you be more specific?

Where did you get your bulbs form?

Are you refering to the ones advertised on eBay from http://www.kobausa.com/, or the ones proposed on the group by and used by Superchargedmorph from www.street-looks.com

[wildrnes]

as far as I can tell from my 2 years of Japanese language lol they are 55 watts but the light output is rated to that of an 80watt halogen bulb

im a genius :D

two years ha

i guesed

now then will these things trash our lights any way to reduce uv output ? B)

[Brettster]

By Lens are you refering to projector type headlights?

or do you mean the silver reflectors and plastic covers as on the IS200?

Brett

[Rob]

i am talking about the same ones that Brett has - i bought them from eBay BUT not from the kobausa store. The ones i have are the Hyper brand - a cheaply made bulb but seems seems to work well and has good light/colour output.

I am warning people not to be surprised if after a few months thier headlight lens( i am refering to the clear plastic outer lens on the headlight) starts turning a bit cloudy!!!!!! if you look at the top of the headlight there is a UV symbol with a X thru it - not sure if it means UV resistant or No UV? the latter i expect.

I have not had any problems with the reflector as yet.

there isnt any realistic way to prevent/reduce the UV output either.

when im back home ill get a pic of my headlights but that will only be on the 6th of jan.

hope this clears things up a bit.
