HID bulb replacement, 2007 Passat. Any suggestions on where to get one locally?

[Guysmiley]

I always like to buy local if possible. Does any one know of a good place? From what I gather the bulb is a D1S.

I would order from the net as well if someone can suggest a place that they had a good experience.

Thanks.

In whatever color temp you want, decent quality too, they are the only non-oem bulb i would trust. also have a 5 year warranty, can't beat that for $75

Retail + 265% MST (Mexican Sales Tax) that you like to give everyone, seems that the retrofit source would still be cheaper hahaha

$23.09 for shipping with duties. So total is less than $100.....just saying get a proper quote before guestimating.

Not saying that your price isn't good however, especially for phillips

Re: HID bulb replacement, 2007 Passat. Any suggestions on where to get one locally?

Sorry to beat a dead horse but it is clear you don't buy from the states that often. $23.09 is shipping international via USPS ONLY. Nowhere does it state duties or brokerage.

THIS IS WHAT YOU'D PAY IF YOU BOUGHT FROM THEM.......
Currency exchange: 1.00
Price: $75
Shipping: $23.09
Duty: $4.50
Tax (GST): $6.16
Conversion: $2.45
Brokerage: $5.30
Disbursement: $0.00

Grand Total $116.50 CAD

I think my "guestimating" is pretty damn good......

As one final word on the subject before I am done arguing with you, YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY NEVER BOUGHT ANYTHING FROM THIS SPECIFIC VENDOR BEFORE. Trust me when I say that you will pay exactly what I said you will pay.

well then you my friend are either sleeping with a customs broker, have a GST/NAFTA/EXCHANGE free card that none of us know about, or this perticular company is exempt from ALL shipping and exchange laws. I would buy stocks in this company because it is the ONLY one in the world that waives the Duty, Tax, Conversion and Brokerage charges! Good find!
