Where to find cheap HIR2's (non-HID stock headlight bulb)

For all 6th Generation Maxima owners who do not have HID headlights, I recently had a headlight bulb burn out in my car and spent days going in and out of auto shops trying to find a replacement. Not a single person in any shop I went to had any idea what kind of bulb i had. I was left with no other choice other than going to the dealership for stock parts. Nissan wanted $67 +tax for a single bulb. Knowing that was a rediculous amount of money for a non-HID bulb, I walked out empty handed and drove home where i did some forum searching for where to order a replacement bulb. I came across a post linking me to http://www.finemotoring.com/. After looking at a much cheaper price of $24.99 per bulb at this website, i navigated over to eBay to search as a last resort for a good price. It turns out that the individual selling the bulbs @ http://www.finemotoring.com/ has an eBay account and sells the exact same product. So for $57.90 i had 2 brand new HIR2 bulbs sent to my door in 4 days. Anyways, i am very pleased with the bulbs and the installation was fairly simple (just don't touch the bulbs with your skin). Unless you have a special contact, this is the most realiable and least expensive option for replacing headlights. I just thought I would share

You coulda spent a extra 100 and gotten HID's but you wouldnt have the housing in which case It wouldnt come out stock looking. Depends on how **** you are about those things.

Actually I considered doing the HID's, but I didn't want to get the new housing. My fog lights have been out for awhile now and I'm going to order HID's to replace them. There is another member on the forums that has the HIR2 headlights with HID foglights and I really like the look for my car considering the color.

Hmm yea what you can do is wire the fogs to run with the parking lights, that way ull have HID's when you want them and halogens when you want them. Just an idea
