Hi everyone,
I have had one of those 9'' 100W Xenon HID spotlights (that attach to the cigarette lighter plug) for 4-5 years now. It's a Chinese no-name bought on ebay, but has been very reliable and virtually indistructible.
Now the bulb has died and I am having difficulties identifying the type of replacement needed. Please see attached pics.
Also, do these come with wires or do I need to insert new ones into the bulb?
Any help would be much appreciated

Regards

A

How can you be sure its not the ballast that failed ? Did the bulb explode ?

Not sure, but the bulb has a funny whitish color which I don't think is right, plus it is cheaper and easier to replace.
According to 3 ebay vendors of this spotlight, it is an H3 bulb. So I will try that. Hopefully it works.
Thx
