    Hella H1 Bulb's Locally?

    I need one H1 bulb. Anyone have one they want to sell me? Or know where I could source one locally? I'd like to finish up my headlight install this week and don't feel like waiting for shipping.

    Any auto parts store will sell you generic H1 bulbs. :)

                US ellips are 9005/9006 OR 9011/9012 (much brighter 05/06s, need slight mods to fit, but difference is huge).

                Euro ellips/smileys are H1

                    dibs on your old ellips if you are getting rid of them...?

                        ....cause I've spent a lot of time looking at legit lighting options (among many many other things) for these cars?

                        I used to own an E30, with US ellips, with 9011/9012 bulbs, as you may remember

                              They are yours if you want them. The driver's side Hi Beam reflector is corroded, but could be fixed with a little chrome spray paint. Normal pitting for Colorado. I was going to ask $100 for them, but I'll give em to you for $80.

                              I scored a legit H1 at Autosport Werks. Flipped my cutoffs for LHD. Got both sets wired up. Need to wire my city lights, but none of my side markers work, hopefully it's just the bulbs.
