Headlight bulbs- where to buy cheap?

Hey guys,

I blew a headlight and am struggling to find any in stock at the local auto shops. I figured if I'm going to wait a few days to get one stocked I may as well shop around for a bargain.

It's a 35w D1S bulb.

Had quotes from $150-580 for one....

Can anyone recommend anything?

Thanks in advance

BMR/Stu I got some replaced a while ago. I wouldn't do cheap stuff as they're not that easy to install, not easy in a sense that its fiddly.

Powerbulbs ftw.

I have some new D1S spares somewhere if it's dire.

It's easy to replace. Just unclip and pull out then put new one in. I think you read headlight not headlight bulbs.

Powerbulbs is pretty expensive, it's cheaper to buy at bursons.

I'm trying some ebay bulbs. $30 for 2 6000k d1s.
I'll update with information on quality and maybe even 4300k vs 6000k comparison pictures. Will take at least a week for me to update don't hold your breath.

Arrived and fitted, pics don't really do any justice to the small change from 4500k to 6000k.
NO issues in the 30 mins i've been driving around with the $30 ebay buy.
