H7 is available on the web quite cheap. Have you checked the Ballast? I am told 90% of failure are of the ballast and not the bulb. Please swap the bulb into the other side and check, else you need a new ballast. I had a ballast failure in my Civic Fog within a few months. |

WHy not buy the proper spec bulb, H7 ? H3 is a much shorter stalk, and would have hardly reached inside the projector. Thats why no beam. |

My old HID H7 bulb came with the projector as a single unit. It is somewhat different from a regular H7. I tried to find it online but in vain. Then I found a similarly(not exactly) designed bulb at a local shop in Mumbai. I gave it a go. The bulb has somewhat managed to fit in but no beam at all :Frustrati Here's a pic of the original bulb |

Is this for an aftermarket Projector? And aftermarket as in not morimoto and the more expensive ones? Did it come with adaptor plates that fit on the back of the projectors? |

As I thought. These are the ones you want. They are some proprietary things, no standard base. |

Not exactly, they are standard HID bulbs used in most projectors. You should get them quite easily. |

Not really. They are not any DSx bulbs, and I could only source them off of DX and Ali after a lot jaddo-jahad.Only a couple of listings there as well. I have them in two pairs of projectors, both sets ali sourced, and it has been a pain. In india, they are impossible to source from your neighborhood guys. |
