    I recently bought this https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B07VM4PBP9

    but can't fit it because the bottom black part doesn't come with it. Does anybody know a work around or if can but that part for cheap?

    • sh4hp on 12/09/2023 - 20:38

      What bottom black part are you referring to? The bulb has two prongs as a standard.

      If you're referring to an angled connector, then I assume you will be reusing the one currently installed.

      • sub102 on 12/09/2023 - 20:44

        Yeah angled connector if that is what it is called. Unfortunately the last bulb had come with that part together as a whole so taking them apart didn't make it reusable

        • mapax on 12/09/2023 - 21:22

          Sounds like you purchased the wrong bulbs if your old ones had a built in angled plastic connector.

        • sh4hp on 12/09/2023 - 22:07

          Yeah, sounds like the wrong bulb. With a H7 bulb, an angled connector will still have the same two prongs on the other end.

          What vehicle is this?

          • sub102 on 13/09/2023 - 14:39

            @sh4hp: 2012 Mazda 3. The old one was an H11 but a lot of H7s without the angled connector come up when I search by my car in SCA and Repco so assumed that'd fit

            • sh4hp on 13/09/2023 - 15:39

              @sub102: Most likely they're using generic car model as opposed to specific ones.

              Best way of going about it is replacement the exact thing you took off. In this case you took off a H11, put a H11 back in.

              The service book that usually come with the car also have spare parts listed, so that's the best point of reference.

              • sub102 on 13/09/2023 - 20:46

                @sh4hp: You're right that should've been the best way but went for the cheapest possible from Amazon. Since I cannot return it do you know any work around of somehow fitting it to the old angled connector or getting that part for cheap?

                • sh4hp on 13/09/2023 - 22:45

                  @sub102: Considering you can get a pair of H11s for roughly the same price from Amazon, getting a kit would cost more plus the fact that retrofitting bulbs is not the best thing to do.

                  H7s and H11s have different ratings, so using the wrong connector may fry something too.

                • Nom on 17/09/2023 - 00:40

                  @sub102: Bulb fittings are not interchangeable - if your car takes H11, then it takes H11 - the H7 bulb you bought is useless to you.

                  The workaround here is just to buy an H11 bulb.

    WTF?

    • Mortin on 12/09/2023 - 20:30

      Yeah like why not just change the car if so concerned

      I replace all the light bulbs in my house every 150 days so I never have to deal with a blown bulb.

        Damn am I the only one replaces light bulbs only when they are blown?

  • sh4hp on 12/09/2023 - 20:39

    I replaced mine at 30K, just for the sake of it.

    • Lps on 13/09/2023 - 18:06

      why not at 20k just for the sake of that?

      • sh4hp on 13/09/2023 - 18:28

        Because at 30K, it's been 3 years since ownership and warranty period is over for my motorcycle.

  • Make it so on 12/09/2023 - 20:45

    I have bought a lot of bulbs from Philips, because I used to like the bright white ones that unfortunately have a short lifespan. I started buying Osram in the end because I found they lasted longer despite being cheaper and equally white (4200K).

    Now moved to LED retrofit bulbs, and again found that Philips greatly overstated the expected lifespan (like with halogen, by about a factor 4). You can own get Osram LED bulbs with a good light pattern (non-blinding) and 5 year warranty for a very decent pricethat may end up cheaper than halogens. Worth considering.

    • wtfnodeal on 12/09/2023 - 21:15

      Isn’t all retrofit LED bulbs not road legal?

      • nismoau on 12/09/2023 - 21:17

        I've never seen any that are ADR approved

        • wtfnodeal on 12/09/2023 - 21:24

          Which is why I asked. If there is one set ADR approved I will buy immediately.

      • Gusper on 12/09/2023 - 21:30

        Never known anyone to buy a motorcycle with the aim of complying with the law, not sure why anyone else should either.

        • wtfnodeal on 12/09/2023 - 21:50

          Well in WA if you get pulled over because of retrofitting LED bulbs, you get a yellow sticker.

          • sh4hp on 12/09/2023 - 22:01

            @wtfnodeal: Not sure about WA, but in VIC unless you're being an prick and have it at a high beam all the time, never heard of anyone getting pulled over for too bright a bulb.

            • wtfnodeal on 12/09/2023 - 22:13

              @sh4hp: Here in WA you can get pulled over for no reason. I was once pulled over in the evening by an undercover police car just to check whether I had lights illegally installed under the side skirting of my car.

              • sh4hp on 12/09/2023 - 22:14

                @wtfnodeal: Dang thats sus. And to think that it'll be much safer with all that light on.

                • wtfnodeal on 12/09/2023 - 22:25

                  @sh4hp: My wife’s car has factory fitted LED bulbs and they are 5 times brighter than my halogen bulbs. I have been wanting to upgrade mine with a set of LED bulbs but none of them are road legal.

                  • sh4hp on 12/09/2023 - 22:31

                    @wtfnodeal: I know what you mean. It barely lights the road up.

                    @wtfnodeal: See other post below - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/14301539/redir - your wife's car has brighter lights because the headlights are specifically designed for them. There's no upgrade path from your halogen to LED without replacing the entire headlight unit.

                    • wtfnodeal on 17/09/2023 - 10:52

                      @Nom: That was what I had been saying in the past few comments above.

          • Make it so on 13/09/2023 - 10:12

            @wtfnodeal: I'm in WA. As long as your car has at least 3 wheels and 2 functioning bulbs in total, you don't get pulled over.

      moved to LED retrofit bulbs

      There's no way to use LED retrofit bulbs in an incandescent headlight without blinding other road users - here's why : https://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/bulbs/Hid/conversio…

      • Make it so on 17/09/2023 - 11:32

        I don't agree with that article. Plenty of articles out there demonstrating that the light pattern of good retrofits can be perfectly fine. The ones I bought do not blind other road users - I checked by standing in front of my own car where the other motorist would be.

        • wtfnodeal on 17/09/2023 - 18:11
          +1

          I suspect that our sh!tty government has teamed up with the car distributors to not to approve all kinds of retrofit LED bulbs so they can charge a premium to include LED lights as one of the main features for vehicles with higher specs. Just the same way how our sh!tty government tries to protect Qantas by blocking extra Qatar airways flights. Some LED bulbs are in fact road legal in some European countries but not ADR approved.

  • RangaWal on 12/09/2023 - 21:59

    Is this double pack for $33.74 the same type of bulb?

    • RangaWal on 13/09/2023 - 05:45

      Do these have a vastly lesser lifespan than the bulbs in this deal?

      • xdirex on 13/09/2023 - 09:49

        In my experience, yes. I’ve been through about 4 sets of them over ~70,000 km.

    grabbed one thanks

  • Irishness on 13/09/2023 - 08:57

    half price my ass, the mark up on bulbs is ridiculous. A similar bulb on aliexpress is around $5 from phillips/osram

      Must be genuine if it's on Ali 🤣

      • Irishness on 14/09/2023 - 09:22

        do your homework and you will find genuine it's not all fake knockoffs, where do you think most of these items are produced

        • OzBragain on 14/09/2023 - 09:33

          Do you a link champ or are all Philips and Osram bulbs on Ali legit?

    • sh4hp on 13/09/2023 - 17:43

      Mate, if your ass is the point of reference, I get why you shop at AliExpress.

      • Irishness on 14/09/2023 - 09:24

        when I can find the same genuine items elsewhere for 1/3 of the price I'll happily shop there, we get ripped off for many things in Australia and many are made in China

        • sh4hp on 14/09/2023 - 12:10

          Mate, even in China people get ripped off by China made goods. If you go there personally and purchase it in person, then yes you are right.

          It's not the genuineness that is of question, but the quality control that goes into it. It may be rejects from the factory that make their way into the market. Sellers take a gamble.

          I've gotten precision parts from AliExpress twice now, from the same seller, and yet they were both different in precision. Got LED bulbs that were meant to last a lifetime with thousands of 4 star ratings, and yet dies after 3 months.

          I would rather spend $15 for a bulb that I know the claims are 90% accurate, then $15 for three that might die after a month.

          • Irishness on 14/09/2023 - 12:52

            @sh4hp: and that's absolutely your choice and I'm not disputing that, the price mark up on bulbs is huge, I've got plenty off aliexpress and they've lasted years, I do my research before buying and inspect when I get them, I'm happy & willing to take the risk

            • sh4hp on 14/09/2023 - 18:14

              @Irishness: Well, if you've been getting plenty over the years, my point has been made.

              I would rather get the one bulb instead

              • Irishness on 14/09/2023 - 19:46

                @sh4hp: shame you can't read 'lasted years' but hey crack on don't let facts get in the way

                • sh4hp on 15/09/2023 - 13:47

                  @Irishness: I did.

                  The bulb in the post lasted 135K km, which I translate to a minimum 6 years of usage for me. I'll throw it back to you. Show me that the $5 bulb that you bought has lasted the same amount of time and/or km, and I'll start going to AliExpress for them.
