D1S Bulb died on VW touareg

NiceAndSlow · 02-03-2011, 03:03 PM

Hi guys,

Any recommendataion on where to get new bulbs and installed? The dealers are asking too much.. Need something that will last and street legal, probably 6000K is okay? This is for a 2006 VW Touareg..

What's a good OEM brand?

anything philips or sylvania osram should be fine

Still comtemplating... stupid VW touareg is a biatch to replace bubls.. the locking mechanism, if that breaks, then it's a $500 replacement apparently so I wanna replace these bulbls once for the next few years...

Probably stick w/ Osram or Philips

If you want the real stuff .... maybe you can price check here vs what the dealer wants.

Obviously, if you buy the parts, then you will have to pay somebody to put it in.

Free shipping. + code for 10% off as well.

Thanks.. I'll check them out.. the bulbs are flickering but still comes on.. it shuts off here and there..

Alternatively, you can also check out GM dealer (via Cadillac also uses D1S) and see.

Another UK website that sells the real stuff & slightly cheaper than powerbulb.com
