Headlight Bulb Suggestions

Hey guys I'm in a situation. I've had my HID headlamps for awhile now, but the ballast for the right one goes out all the time. I'm getting annoyed and need something other than HIDs for my car. I guess I'm looking for some bulbs, but I need some that match with the rest of my setup. I have 6K fogs, LED turn signals and WeissLicht AE. Everything on my e90 is LED. I need headlight bulbs (H7 I believe) that match with my setup. Need suggestions. Thanks.

Do you have OEM HID or Aftermarket? I'm confused cause you said your ballast keep going out but your looking for bulbs?

Please clarify what you have and what your looking to do so I can steer you in the right direction.

I have aftermarket HID kits. Basically my HID bulbs work but my ballasts are always the ones going bad for some reason. They make my bulb flicker. So now what Im looking for is just regular bulbs for my car or I guess try a different HID kit.

I'm thinking about ordering them from HPB. I bought my original ones from Alex, but he hasn't replied to me and I need them asap. Any thoughts on the HID kits from HPB?

HPB sells the highest quality bulbs and ballast. We've been working with them for years on lighting stuff and never hesitate to recommend them from their stellar reputation on selling quality products. Shoot them an email and let them know your situation and they will steer you in the right direction. A majority of their business comes from people just like you who bought something and are disappointed and cant find the right help and product.

I have HPB HID in my last 4 cars and tons of locals and friends.

Yeah, the tail lights are the same across the E90 LCIs, so those reverse bulbs. Did you use sales [at] highperformancebulbs [dot] com?

They got about 100 emails or so a day, unlike me

They usually take a day or 2 to get back depending on the amount of emails.

They fit your car.

Yeah I saw them on HPB. Thinking about getting them since I already bought the LED side blinkers from them.
