Hello everyone.

One of the bi-xenon light is out in my wifes 06 IS350. Where's the best place to get a replacement and what do they normally cost? Dealer wanted $40 for one.

Thanks in advance.

Should be warranty if you are under 50k. If you want OEM, then the dealer. I think you mean OEM spec? You can get from a vendor on CL. If the dealer only wants $40 per bulb, that is cheap. It is easy to replace. Check warranty first, it should be covered and it is a common thing for these bulbs to go out and be covered.

I think 40$ is very cheap for an OEM hid bulb also! I sent you a PM if that is of help just let me know.

See this recent thread for more details. The dealer should replace under warranty. An HID bulb should last much longer than 2 years.

You SHOULD be under warranty. Truth be told, even if you replace with OEM new vs old bulb would still be a noticeable difference in color anyways. That said, $40 is a pretty good price for any HID D4S bulb.

I would look at this as a great excuse to go 6-8000K from XenonDepot, our gracious forum vendor.

yes, IS models have bixenon headlamps plus a halogen bulb for high beam (which acts as a DRL too)

$40 for an HID bulb? That doesn't sound right at all..
