I bought two Phillips Xenon bulbs (48177031P - Philips Bulb D2S Xenon) from ECP for 76.99 each.

Probably wasn't the best deal. I see they are down to 70 each now.

the stealers put a MASSIVE mark up on these xenon bulbs.

I just got a pair of OEM Phillips bulbs for the audi q5 off the tinternet for £58! audi want 150 per bulb!! criminal.

people don't know where to go or how to fit them so easier to go to stealers.

loads of tutorials on you tube on how to fit and not fcuk up.

all the dealers are up to it no matter what the brand.

the worst one is the brake pads and the daft sensors which kick in around half worn. most people who are not in the know or the fleet cars just replace them....cut the sensors and double the mileage on those pads. madness.

BTW the xenon bulbs I bought are EXCATLY the same brand as what audi would charge and they work.
