car still under warranty???

Nope. It ran out 5 months ago. Always the way, isn't it.

Cool. I'll order the bulbs off eBay and take it from there.

Can you buy the bulbs from any shops here in Aus? For example, Autobarn or Supercheap Auto.

Thanks dutchie101. Did you just replace the bulbs? Are your ballasts still stock?

Ok. Before creating a new topic, I did a search on xenon HID headlights for the Levin ZR and how to change/replace them.

The problem I have is that one of my original low beam xenons (passenger side) lights up for about a minute (sometimes less) and then just turns off. If I turn off the lights and then turn them back on, same thing, works for about a minute, then dies.

What I need to know, would it be the bulb that is dead/dying or is it the ballast?

Has anyone had experience in changing the original low beam headlights on the Levin ZR? I would probably also look at upgrading the temp to 6000K to make the lights a little 'whiter' than the standard 4300K.

I have done a quick search on eBay and have found the following two bulbs. I am leaning more towards the Philips bulbs. Is that a good choice?

Philips D4S 42402 HID Xenon Bulbs 6000K Lexus Toyota

JDM Garax 6000K D4S HID Bulbs Toyota Prius Venza Avalon

Thanks in advance
