Cygolite Z-Force replacement bulb...
I had a "butterfinger moment" tonight and dropped my Cygolite Z-Force HID on the ground...sure enough, it broke the bulb. Cygolite does not sell individual replacement bulbs so one cannot have a replacement on hand. This is due to product safety and liability issues. Damn... Not to be stilled, I went out looking. Sure enough, the OEM sells the same bulb for $120, online and NO MINIMUM ORDER! Added bonus, you can get either a 13 degree beam exact replacement or a 6 degree spot! Now we are talking! I sent Cygolite an email to see how much they charge. I doubt they will be as expensive as the OEM but for $120, a spare might not be a bad idea. And since volume discounts are available...group purchase? Get your Paypal info ready! -- Weisse Luft |

I'll stick to my $5 3W dynamo bulbs, I think - although I resent paying even that much. /me awaits Ghost Of Christmas Past |

HID's have a 1000+ hour MTBF if one doesn't subject them to such impacts. -- Weisse Luft |

No one answering the phone, no reply via email. Guess I have to order replacement from the OEM... -- Weisse Luft |
