best place to buy bulbs online? (osram nightbreakers)

Ben M · 2 Apr 2008 at 22:53

I'm finally going to get myself some osram nightbreakers for my full beam (H1). Where's the best place to get them? A lot of people mention powerbulbs.com, but autobulbsonline.co.uk sell them for £4 less (at £19.99). Has anyone bought bulbs from autobulbsonline? I'm aware that powerbulbs sell nightbreakers on ebay for less than in their shop, but I don't have an ebay account, and don't intend to make one.

Thanks in advance guys.

Here's a tip.... try the autobulbsdirect 'bay store

I bought a pair of wiper blades from them a few days ago... £28 from their website.... £12 from their ebay store... for the same product....

no worries, Tim did it originally as well

i'm ordering them off autobulbs now

MrFunex · 2 Apr 2008 at 23:19

I only mention it as I live about a mile away from their 'depot'. Dropped on,
as I saved a further £3 by not paying postage either! Jackpot!

I bought Nightbreakers from Powerbulbs but through there ebay site, was cheaper than there webby! £15 delivered IIRC

they are tops!

ignore me, make an account anyway? costs nothing! cheaper goods! use your debit card through paypal? EASY!

It's still the best option. Get a mate with an ebay account to order them and give him the cash.

I don't have friends.

Ordered them with free sidelights off autobulbs now, I'm happy to pay £19.99 for them and some sidelights (or at least I hope I will be when I get them)

why not open an ebay account :confused:

couple of minutes of your time to save a fiver why wouldn't you.

Begbie · 3 Apr 2008 at 01:26

powerbulbs, free sidelights. Might get lucky and get two sets like I did

IAmATeaf · 3 Apr 2008 at 10:55

Got mine off the bay for around 14 inc.

Oh and if you do decide to create a bay account then use a credit card to pay via paypal and not a debit card as mentioned above, credit cards give you more protection

Begbie · 3 Apr 2008 at 12:53

Don't use paypal ever they suck
