After awhile they change colors. If I were you I would not just replace one because after you replace your right one with a new HID bulb, the light of the left will be a different color shade.

I would replace both.

$35 for a xenon bulb?

that can't be right, those won't last like OEM if they're that cheap. . .

how much are OEM. . .?? Mine are still good nearly 4 years later. . .

Here is a link to the OEM ones. We usually keep them in stock, but Im out right now. Should be able to have them at the beginning of next week if ordered by Thursday. Use the Employee Pricing code and they will be even cheaper. Not sure about aftermarket HID bulbs though. I have never had to buy any from a parts store. We usually special order them if a customer needs them and we are out.
