One of my headlights is out. Sewell price is $175 each. Are there any aftermarket ones that are recommended?

 

Im guessing your car came stock with HIDs? D4S bulbs?

If so I know a lot of members here like Garax bulbs

 

Its stock for sure but dont know if its D4S

 

will this work

 

If your came stock with HIDs yes those will work. You may get better pricing if you look in the vendor section

 

You can get Philips Ultinon 6000K from CL forum vendors Nigel-JDMParts or XenonDepot.

 

I got mine from amazon, search for Philips D4S Xenon HID Headlight Bulb. They are $50.86 a bulb.

 

is the factory bulb 6000k?

 

Philips or Garax

 

The factory bulb is not 6000K. It's about 4300K .

I would be cautious of Amazon since some of the vendors sell fakes, especially when it comes to the Ultinon line. The XenEco, not as much.

I would still recommend the two CL forum vendors to be the safest and reliable.

 

Most likely that was a knock off brand claiming to be Phillips. I believe those bulbs retail for about $200 because they come straight from Japan. Someone correct me if Im wrong

The factory bulbs are between 4100-4300K

 

Most likely counterfeit. Ultinon sell for almost $230-240+ a set and the XenEco is about $79 per bulb.

 

 

OEM HID bulbs are 4100K Philips D4S 42V 35W XenEco bulbs.

The best bang for your buck is Garax bulbs IMO.

 

They could have been, they were identical to the ones that I pulled out of the car though. Then again it's getting easier and easier to make fakes identical to the original. It also said the seller was Amazon.com not one of the vendors, so who knows.
