Hi all
My RHS xenon projector bulb has gone and I need to know what type of bulb it is to replace?

Nissan have a part number, but due to Christmas are a few weeks away from being able to supply one.
They can easily help me fit a new one if I have the bulb.

Doing a bit of research around the Phillips xenon products - it's either a D1S or D2S bulb.
Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance
James

If you are looking for a R35 then according to the site below its a D2S

Probably worth switching bulbs from one side to another to ensure it's the bulb and not the ballast system.

as above the bulbs should rarely go and they are a fortune to replace

Why are you paying for it? Surely under warranty at this age!

Good point, why did I not think of that!:chairshot

It will be nice if your right but i wouldnt think they would be a warranty item rather a consumable like Wiper Blades / Brake pads etc which means the owner pays up ??? unless a fault has occurred ????

Thanks guys

Warranty - no dice I'm afraid. It's a 'consumable item'.
There is no fault with the lighting system and is just a blown bulb - so muggins needs to foot the bill.

I have to wait for the Phillips people to come back from holidays next week - but it's faster than shipping one in from Japan.

Thanks again
James

Aren't these bulbs meant to be guaranteed for about 10 years or something?

A bit like those damn Energy efficient bulbs you buy for your home which should last 8 years and cost 4 x as much dosh and last a year if you are lucky :chuckle::chuckle: Try taking one back to B&Q after a year ......lol

Haha yeah that’s fair comment but it’s not like they’re a fiver from Halfords.

I have an old 350GT so no warrantee cover etc and one of my bulbs gave up recently. Main dealer quoted me £300 for a new one with a 2-3 week wait for it to be imported. Fortunately I found a local car importer who had a new replacement delivered for me that afternoon for about £70. Still hurt but compared to my original quote.. I got over it. Good luck!
