    I was able to get some H2R bulbs from Amazon for 26.99 with shipping included. Going to attempt to install tomorrow. Take a look if you need new HIDs for a good price. Hopefully all goes well with the install. Looks relatively straight forward.

    Cheap bulbs burn hotter and use inferior (compared to Phillips/Osrams) salts in their bulbs. Also focal misalignments are common. You do get what you pay for with HID bulbs.

    Their life is generally less than half of regular bulbs and if you use them for extended periods the extra heat can bubble/warp/distort/discolour the chrome in your reflector.
