M35 Xenons Failed

[mxfly]

Hey everyone,

The left xenons finally failed a few nights ago. It started to flicker just slightly few weeks ago but got gradually worse over time and now it doesn't ignite.

My initial thoughts was the ballast but I might be wrong. I haven't tried swapping out the globes yet, just wanted to ask if anyone has had this problem before.

I have contacted Ben from NSP but he's never heard of failing lights before.

Anyway suggestions?

thanks,

my c34 xenon flickered for 3 nights in a row and then packed it in. it was just a bulb, i did both bulbs because i didnt want to be attempting to match brands and colour temps

eBay

D2R is the globe you are chasing.

A genuine philips one will have you falling off your chair, I opted for a chinese globe, cheap as, and got a few sets

+1 for ebay

its D2R standard (as mentioned by mike) which is an internally shielded bulb but its exactly the same as the D2S (minus the small shielding in the bulb). i ordered 2 cheap as D2S 6000K bulbs but they arrived as D2R. didnt bother me, fitted fine and light output is the same.

i picked 6000K because i find it looks pure white without the purple, blue or yellow tint

i have a pair of factory genuine phillips burners if you want them?

4300k from an M35

Pay for postage and they are yours

My NM35 Stag has HID Xenons, and for some reason they work fine for about 30 minutes, but then one will 'go out'. Usually if I turn the lights off and then turn them back on again, they re-strike and keep working but after a short period of time, one will go out again.

Is this a sign the bulbs need replacing, or is it the ballast?

I had the exact same issue with my C34. It was the left hand globe and it seemed after they got warm, it stopped working. I put in second hand globes 2 years ago and it solved the issue, so yeah, short answer, globes.

Hi wht510. I recently just changed my bulbs on my NM35 Stagea to 6000K D2S (retained the OEM Ballast). I got them from Max Vision Australia.
