D3S D3R OEM HID Xenon Headlight Bulb Replacement: Crystal White, 35W, 6000K - Pack of 2 Review

Like many other reviews on this product, I was blown away by how much box stores charge for just one bulb ($150 on average). The cost to the dealer is the same, plus an additional fee (e.g. $100 USD) for installation. I bought a two bulb set for less than $30 (excluding shipping and tax) so the price was amazing. Other reviews mention installation issues. Mine were easy to assemble (3 bolts per headlight. Done). If you have trouble installing, there are many tutorial videos for your vehicle on…

Sometimes you get what you pay for and that certainly applies to these poor quality bulbs. Installed without any problems, both swapped so that the colors match. Turned it on and everything seems fine. Went to the neighbors house that night and on the way home when it was indeed dark the lights went out about 2 minutes after leaving. Thank goodness we were close to home as they made at least 3 more turns in the 10 minute drive. I then replaced the ballasts thinking how bad new bulbs could be…

I bought these to replace a headlight bulb that had failed on my 2014 Buick Enclave. The price is great compared to other options. This is a bluer tint than the factory bulbs. I notice the difference when driving. But for the $ saved I'm happy. I paid the local store $90 for one bulb and $30 for the two packs. Much better than the $370 my dealer gave me! I keep an extra bulb for the other side just in case.

Incredibly, auto parts stores sell bulbs of this size and type for about $150 per bulb. Who knows how much the dealer will charge? For many/most cars and SUVs using HID xenon bulbs, access to the bulb holder is a major obstacle. Without the YouTube video of my make and model I probably wouldn't be able to figure it out myself, both in terms of what needs to be removed (air filter housing etc. and air duct) to get to the back of the headlight housing. Even then I may not have figured out how to…

Dealers and auto shops were offering me $115-300 for a bulb while a pair was $27. Needless to say I was concerned about the quality at this price but figured $27 wasn't a huge loss if they didn't work. Audi A4 with Allen key, zips for sorting removed screws and flashlight. Took 1 hour but would probably take 20 minutes for those who know what they are doing. Never touch the bulb with your bare hands - the oil on your fingers will ruin the bulb immediately or shortly thereafter. Hold the metal…
