Default My headlight went out in my 04'

Guys!

my drivers side headlight went out in the 04' SC today. I did a search & was able to figure out the bulb size (D2S) but i found conflicting info on which brand to purchase & installing process...can anyone help me out? I just want to retain the factory look, don't care for anything different. And since its a 250 mile drive for me to the dealership; was wondering how much of a PITA it is to install the driver side headlight. any visual instructions would be greatly appreciated. thanks once again in advance guys!

is there a particular vender CL peeps shop with?
what color do our cars use. I assume (4300K) right?
BRAND? theirs a bunch on Ebay, r those any good? so brand name, some not.

stock cars use 4300k.

Garax is a really good brand and is made in japan. I have the Garax 6000k and it is a blue tint. I would highly recommend you going ahead and just changing out both bulbs while your at it.

If your car is from 2002-2005 then you use the bulb size of D2S.

If your car is from 2006+ then you use the bulb size of D4S.

oops I stand corrected.. i knew it was in the 4000 range..

the lower the K, the brighter the light output will be to my understanding. also the more yellow the light will be as well.
