I have been looking all over the internet for a replacement headlight for my car and I can't find one.

I have one of the dumb 2004 Maxima's that came with halogens instead of HID. The bulb model number is 9012 or HIR2, its made by GE from what I can tell. Anyway, someone has to sell these bartards online because I am not paying $75 at the dealer for a stinking headlight.

Anyway, anyone else have a supplier that stocks these at reasonable prices?

EDIT: If anyone thinks I am wrong about what I need or is curious because they never heard of this bulb then read the following site to educate yourself. It is a fairly rare bulb, but it is out there.

Well, I found a lead. Apparently John Deere requested GE to develop a bulb that is more powerful then a halogen but much cheaper then a HID and this is what they came up with. Trying to find a local John Deere dealer to see if they can order one for me.

EDIT: Is there something wrong with this picture or what? I am calling a Tractor dealer to get a headlight bulb for my 4 door passenger car. WTF?

EDIT EDIT: I found the bulb on ebay. Only $25 which is much better then what the dealer wanted. I ordered 2 because my headlights usually die within 6 months of one another. Anyway, link below if anyone else ever needs to find these things.

Forget the HIR, I believe theyre pretty expensive(IIRC about $90/pair, dont quote me on that) Just get HIDs, That's what I would do if the HIRs ever went out. Didnt think they would though, theyre supposed to have a real long lifespan.

I have 2 bulbs from my car that worked when i took them out. I put them in cases when I removed them so if you want them shoot me a PM with an offer.
