color wheel replacement

I have to replace the color wheel on my SAMsung HLR6168w. The parts store sells the wheel only for 88.75 while I can get the whole assembly off ebay for around 100.00. Has anyone else purchased the assembly on eBay?

Re: Lamp, ballast,color wheel

I decided to just replace the bulb. TV now works great. I did get the bare bulb and installed it with no problems, by the way the lamp timer showed 13,594 hours.

I do have a question, the tv now shows in red, stand by/temp. is this a problem??

Re: Lamp, ballast,color wheel

By the way do you purchase the bulb bare or in a new housing??
