I’m stressed beyond belief on this one. To the point where my wife just asked why I’m not out in the shop working (need to order some damn bulbs).
So way back several years I purchased Ed’s 7.5R replica headlights to replace my halogens, purely because I smoked a deer and wasn’t paying for a ugly reflector housing.
Anyway, fast forward to now and I’ve got a low beam bulb out (which you’d think would be no big deal).
Ed’s is out of business…doesn’t reply.
So far I’ve been able to find absolutely zero reputable websites/brick and mortar shops selling HID (apparently they’re illegal?). Amazon has a bunch of junk for $14-16 a pair with a laundry list of reviews stating the bulbs last hours or days with a good chance of burning the car to the ground (sweet). Outside of that the websites google bring up all seem to have the same 17 page terms of service BS they want you to agree to (which is sketchy that the only ones coming up are the same exact companies operating under different names selling all the same stuff).
So does anyone have experience buying just replacement bulbs without losing a car or suffering identity theft in the process?
