182 headlight problem..?

[Gibbo4k]

hello all.. ive got a 182 and one headlight is slightly brighter than the other.. is their somewhere like ebay where I can get replacement bulbs without having to buy the starters for them.. any links would be great so a direct replacement would be great..
thanks in advance

Whats brighter? All of the lights or just one?

just one mate the dipped beam hid or what ever they are called.. its only slightly but still noticeable enough.. im betting they are going to be bloody expensive knowing my luck... I don't want the blue look ones that some go for though....
cheers

If my bulbs where the originals when I took them out which I'm pretty sure they where then they where Osram Xenarc, the standard colour is 4300k

The bulbs are D2S fitment, and your right they are exspensive if you go for the branded bulbs.

Heres a list of D2S bulbs

This one from the list is 4300k, there sold individually

But if you say one is brighter than the other I would think it could be a ballast issue possibly. And to add to this seeing as those bulbs above are expensive there are cheaper options that are around £15 a set which a few on here have in with no problems

Or maybe it could be a different age bulb on each side..

When you replace those you should always do it in pairs as with age they change colour slightly so im told.

Might be what your seeing.
