Hi guys. After buying a complete Zenon kit on ebay, I've had no stop problem with them blowing, and then having to travel back with one headlight untill I complain to the seller again and get replacements.

Has anyone found a good place for their zenons which doesnt cost the earth?

Just the zenons. I haven't got HID headlights, I'm meaning just the zenon bulbs.

I'll check your links out. I'm never using eBay again... The products are too cheap and always break... Grrr

Thanks for the reply mate

Xenon is the gas thats inside HID lamps (A bulb goes in the ground, chants my science leturer) They need a ballast to arc in the very high resistance then maintain a low operating current
Is it xenon effect lamps that you have? These are just normal haligon gas with less resistance so more current, drawing more power so reducing life. They are prone to blow quickly due to the a cars electrical sytem not giving a constent current and voltage

Dont slate eBay, iv had lots of good products off it. Ill admit some bad ones too
