Evo 8 Headlight Help

I have been searching the forum and haven't found a definite answer yet. I have an 03 with one of the HID's out, I assuming it is the bulb. What size and who supplies a direct replacement? I called Mitsubishi and was quoted 178.00 for one bulb.

From what I have gathered here on the boards I should be looking for a D2S bulb 4300k. Can anyone confirm this and suggest a cheaper aftermarket supplier for replacement??

Appreciate any help.

Just a little FYI.. HID's are not bulbs. They are called capsules.

Thanks for the links and responses. I tired the local Napa, and they don't show anything here, so I'll either get them from xenonlink or somewhere on ebay. Thanks again.
