H3 yellow capsules.... $30??!!

i went to hidtech.com to find out that they're $30 a pair. I think that's a bit too much. Does anyone know other sources for these? Thanks in advance.

They are great, considering you can use stock bulbs with them it is cheap since "yellow" bulbs that suck compaired to the capsules are about $60.

BTW, pic in my sig and more on my cardomain.

You can spend $30 - $60 on a pair of yellow bulbs, but when 1 goes out, you will shell out another $30 - $60.
or
You can spend $30 on capsules, keep your current stock bulb, and if 1 goes out, it will cost you < $10 to replace it. Not to mention the capsules look a helluva lot better!

you will probably need to get mini bulbs. Also for the price of the caps it is worth it.

My sig has the caps
