Obtaining vintage lamps, ballasts, and fixtures from outside the USA « on: November 06, 2021, 05:33:55 AM » Author: WorldwideHIDCollectorUSA
I am wondering if anybody knows of easy ways to obtain vintage light bulbs, ballasts, and fixtures from countries outside the USA that do not use eBay such as Mexico, Japan, or Indonesia because I have a strong interest in trying to obtain any kind of light bulb, fixture, and ballast from anywhere in the world without having to pay for expensive plane tickets.

Try advertising in the wanted section of LG, we have a host of members from all over the world as you know. It might be possible to arrange trades with some of them, or they might purchase lamps etc. on your behalf if you cover their expenses.

At worldwidehid you dont live that far from Mexico.  Even if u dont speak spanish that well there are few english speaking Mexicans that can assist u around how to get places.   I do have friends that go down to mexico and  They bring me back lamps and ballast that I would wanted.  Also check San Diago area they tend import stuff   Just across the boarder.
