9145/H10 50watt HID bulb ballast?

[FredM]

Looking for a 50 watt H10 bulb ballast kit. Anyone know if they are available?

I see 35 watt all the time but never 50. I guess 50 watt ballasts are easy enough to find but not the bulbs?

I have seen a few on Ebay, but I think they are all just over driving a 35W bulb.
Is there even a true 50W bulb in this size?

No not H10. 90% of e-bay claimed 50 watt are actualy closer to <45 watt. The Asian bulbs will blow up when sustained at 50 watt.

Speaking of 50Wers
What does the all mighty Barn Burner use?

I think a 50W driven at 75W.

So no H10 50W are available XeRay?

Correct, but is not just any 50 watt, The ARC chamber is larger than any standard 50 watt bulb.

50 or 75 watt bulb only availible in D2S and D1S.

Car junkyards work well for the bulb bases
Find out what cars use them, and hunt for a headlight.

How hard is it to rebase a bulb?
