Cheap G35 Xenon Bulbs?

So I need to replace the xenon bulbs in my car. The highbeams are so dim they are almost non-existent at this point. Infinity wanted 350 a bulb... Is there any place online that sells them at a much fairer price? I'm also unsure of the exact spec/model name I'm looking for.

I checked the FAQ. Is it the HID-D2R?

The LOWER light is an H4 bulb, the upper bulb is the Xenon gas HID-D2R bulb.

Are you looking for high beam or low beam bulbs?

the low beams are ok. High beams are the one giving me visibility problems.

The dealership I called told me both bulbs were the same... guess I was misinformed.

Your high beams are dim? Wow. Mine light up everything. You sure it's the bulb and not a ground problem? I realize bulbs do get dimmer as they age but my highs overpower my HID's all the time

I'm not sure, how do you discriminate between a bulb and a ground problem?

Let me describe more clearly what is going on. The top lights are white and I assume they are my xenons for low beams. When I flick my high beams on the bottom ones light up and they are the yellow (H4 bulb?). Right now that bottom light does not travel far at all, I can barely notice that my high beams are even on.

So right now my question is, its the H4 bulb that I need right? and Where can I purchase a decent quality set for a fair price?

I don't think you defined what model headlights you have.. 03-05 uses a D2R bulb (uses a separate bulb for low and high beams, single beam) and 06 and up uses a D2S bulb (single bulb for both (bi-xenon))

Yes.. I was referring to coupes, that's why I asked him to be a bit more specific... Year of Headlights (car wouldn't really help, I have an 04 coupe, but changed to 06 headlights), and style of car, coupe or sedan.
