Affordable Xenons
Hi Guys,
I have been quoted R 3500 for a single Xenon bulb with part number: 10566103 for my VW CC.
Does anyone know where I can get a slightly more reasonable price?
Thanks

Re: Affordable Xenons
Presumably you got that quote from your local VW agent?
There are more affordable options out there, but you will have to do a bit of research. Start by typing in the part number into Google and see what it spits out. Also research bulb manufacturers such as Philips, Osram, etc for options that might be applicable to your car.

Re: Affordable Xenons
Start by figuring out what type of globe it is (D3R/D4S/etc), then hunt around for that. IIRC the CC takes a D1S, try places like Breno Parts, should be in the R1000-R1200 ballpark. I know Philips sells those locally
It is an ingenius solution to a problem that should have never existed in the 1st place...

Re: Affordable Xenons
We bought Phillips or Hella xenon globes from Goldwagen, Johannesburg specifically, for a MkIF Tiguan last year at around a third of the price that VW quoted.

I am trying to stick to OEM spec, so I guess the Philips WhiteVision is what I am after?.
I am in Midrand and not in a huge hurry. Would you mind PMing me your contact details?
Thanks!

I stumbled across their FB page earlier and have contacted them for pricing. Lots of followers but always great to hear positive input from forumites instead.

Re: Affordable Xenons
I asked this on another thread; is the difference in quality between the Osrams and others that great to justify the price difference?
VW Rivonia quoted me (telephonically) R8k to replace bulbs. I'm lazy not stupid.

Re: Affordable Xenons
Yes there's a difference in quality between the OEM brands like Osram/Phillips etc and the no name stuff that violet stock. No,it's not worth paying the dealer 8k when you can get those same OEM bulbs much cheaper from Diesel Electric or Goldwagen.
The no name brand bulbs will work just fine,btw,but I try not to cheap out on safety related items.

Re: Affordable Xenons
That's good advice. I do prefer to stick to quality parts, however, I'm trying to rationalise in my mind whether it's safety or silliness spending 2500ish instead of 800?
Btw, I called a couple of Goldwagen branches and it seems they don't stock Osram's. Diesel Electric quoted me R1200 each ex vat. Is that a fair price?

Re: Affordable Xenons
Between Hella and Osram with about R200-400 difference what would be the better option?

Re: Affordable Xenons
Hopefully this is the last question.
On the Golf 6, I've seen videos where guys need to loosen the passenger side headlight housing to get enough room to change out the globe.
Is this the best method or is there an easier approach?
