Hellow everyone,
I need to change the HID globe for my 97/98 Honda Torneo. A little history with my car; This model was not manufactured locally. It was transported all the way from Japan, to NZ before making it to Melbourne. I bought it as a 2nd hand car from my friend.

The dilemma I am having now is where can I find cheap HID globe lamp? I called in HONDA Service Centre and REPCO for the cost of one globe lamp and was told it cost about AUD400 (I better be off installing multiple torchlight on my car!!!). While I know the cost of HID globe is not cheap, I am worried about being ripped off.
Can anyone advise what can I do and where can I get a suitable and cheap globe for my Torneo? I actually considered replacing the whole lamp unit with the unit similar other local HONDA, but I was told by my mechanic that the lamp unit is original from factory and has not been modified, so replacing whole unit (two) can cost me a fortune. Can someone please confirm this as well?
Cheers,
Daniel.
