So i took my car to the dealership and they confirmed that the bulb needs to be replaced on the passenger side. They wanted something to the tune of $390 for the job. Is that baloney or what? I think I saw someone post on the forums that the new OEM bulb will cost around $90. So $300 for an install? Replacing the bulb can't be that hard, right?!!?

^^^ Replacing a bulb yourself, should not take more than 5 - 10 mins.

Here's the DIY tutorial.

I had the on/off problem when I put in some cheap ebay bulbs (6000k). I now have Garax bulbs installed and they have been perfect for the past 6 months or so.

Really appreciate the DIY tutorial. I ended up getting the stock OEM 4300k Philips. Thanks again!
