You can get the philips ultinon Hid bulbs. You can a pair for a little cheaper than 250 I think.

was that installed ? I think the front bumper has to come off to repalce them ??

try e-bay for bulbs

I just bought 2 factory HID bulbs, 2 ballasts, 2 ignotors and all the factory wiring for $150 to convert my car to HID on e-bay. All bran new parts.

hey, I just went to ebay and typed in HID D2C or D2S and bought myself a pair (10000K) for 42 bucks shipped and it works fine.

you have to turn the wheel all the way to the right or take off the wheel and then remove the dusk guard by taking out the fasteners and then you could reach the bulb.

just need a good quality HID light bulb to match OEM on the other side. not crazy about blueish head light though.

$250 just for a light bulb, installation is not included. Bloody car dealers.

Enjoying your ultra violet lights? Good thing you live in the city, you'd not see a thing if you lived where it wasn't well lighted.

I don't see how the dealer is trying to charge $250. I bought a set of new OEM Philips bulbs (D2S) for like $40/pair.

6000k works well...of course 4500k is brighter, but you should be ok with 6000k max.
