Green Force HID 100 Compact, bulb replacement?

2 posts
  1. Hi I ran across this forum and figured someone here can help. I have a Green Force HID 100 compact and it's working fine but for the future, does anyone know what model brightstar HID bulb it uses? And a good place to get it and the cost?

     

    Finally, is that something that can be replaced myself or do I have to send it in?

     

    Also if other parts like the ballast need replacing in the future, any problems getting those and where?

     

     

    Thank you for any help!

  2. I know people are having problems getting the candle style 10w HID bulbs, not sure about the 100w HIDs though. I'm not sure about Greenforce specifically, but we used to source a lot of HID parts from http://www.brightstar-hid.com/index_e.php

     

    Have you spoken to a Greenforce dealer? Also replacing the balast and/or bulb is a relatively simple exercise, so if you're competent with a soldering iron and don't mind pulling apart a light head with orings and such go for.

     

    Nowadays we're just converting the HID housings out to some kind of LED solution, mostly it's cheaper and more effective than a HID bulb+balast replacement. Not as simple with video lights (compared with primary lights), particularly the 100w kind though.

     

    Have you spoken to a Greenforce dealer about the parts?
