Any one got some blown hid bulbs they can sell or give me ?? please let me know

 

Some of the info on that site is useful, other info dubious, at best.

A crushed HID bulb filling a room with toxic fumes? Sending mercury into your skin with flying shards of glass? And what is a "necessary cooldown" before turning a bulb back on?

"There is not really any material that will stop high voltage from arcing besides ceramic." Hmmm, so I wonder how all of those high-voltage transformers and those 500,000-Volt Jacob's ladders I built as a kid worked when I didn't have access to ceramic insulators There are plenty of easy-to-use insulators out there that prevent high-voltage arcing.

I stopped reading pretty much at that point. I'll take it the writer has English as a second language. Read it all with a grain of salt... I'm sure the P/N number info will be useful, but definitely read the technical stuff with caution in mind.
