Post Where to Buy Osram Bulbs

No luck with Paragon Products on-line catalog. I'm looking for a Osram 64153 which is a 12V 100W bulb that fits in the the Euro Driving/Fog lights I have. Do you think these would be available at an import auto supply store?

TIA,

Mike

I show the Osram/Sylvania 100 watt H3 (#64153) has a Characteristic T life of 50 hours. Don't know what is up with that being so short.

Anyway, I have plenty of Phillips 100 watters from Germany (#12455) that have a rated T life of 100 hours. You can have as many as you want for $7 each, plus shipping.

Just let me know at wraydan@msn.com

I have these in Hella 100W H3 that fit the Euro lights perfectly. I am using these on my car.

If you are using the 100W bulbs, make sure you use a relay(s) to switch the power to the lights. Don't overload the old wiring either, run new heavy guage wiring to the lights.

I have had great luck with topbulb.com. I think that they have every bulb ever produced. Great prices and fast shipping. I am not associated with them at all, I have placed orders for bulbs for medical equipment, boats and cars that I just could not find anywhere.
