Headlight Bulb Probs
Ooook so heres a below the waist punch by AutoZone. My left bulb just went out on my 02 SE. With all this rain that we've been getting in Charlotte in the past couple weeks I cant drive without my lights. So I go in and casually ask for some bulbs to see if they have it. The next part was funny......He told me that one bulb costs 99.99 plus tax. I nearly crapped my pants I started laughing so hard. Does anyone know any cheaper alternatives than 100 per bulb? Any ideas/ suggestions?

$45 for a pair. You'll want to replace both because HID bulbs change color slightly as they age, so if you change just one bulb the color output will not match.

You can also find the OEM Philips bulbs in pairs on Amazon for about $70-$100, but counterfeits are common so be careful.

go to the retrofitsource and get a pair of d2r bulbs for like 45 bucks
