Xenon Headlight Bulbs

Hi,

One of my bi-xenon headlight bulbs has gone and I'm having trouble finding a replacement.

It is a Philips Xenon DLS 25W.

Does anyone know how i can get hold of one? Or is there an alternative that fits?

It's a 981 Boxster S.

Thanks
Matt
 
If it's the ones I think your after then Design 911 have them.

I bought two because one of my bulbs was playing up but I found when I went to change if that there was a loose connection, so remove your headlamp unit and check that everything's tight. Easy to get out but a bit of knack to refitting unit.

They're about £60 + vat a pair

Thanks, I've taken it out and put back but still not working so I guess the bulb has gone, although it still looks like its ok, no discolouring or anything...

The bulb you have linked to doesn't have the base part on it, see attachment. When I had the bulb out it didn't seem to be detachable from the base and the warning message suggests that they're not separable. Is it possible to separate them?

Thanks
Matt

Yes they detach from the bulb, there is a vid on You Tube showing how to dismantle them, quite easy when you see the vid.
 
Ok, thanks. I'll have to check that the bulb looks the same, as my base says DLS and those bulbs say D2S, so may not fit.

I've got a feeling this is a dealer only replacement, so will cost about £150 just to change a light bulb :nooo:
