There's a seller on firesport.com which sells them for $70 a pair. Xenon Xtreme.

interesting, i went to a import place that just got in a stagea, down the road, he goes in a very shady voice ' 65 dollar i fit for you but no refund ' hehe i might go back tomorrow just to annoying him, no cash untill it turns on!

Also mercedes and bmw dealerships - dunno about prices though...

Ebay has some, never had experience with them though so can't tell you the quality.

I have the standard xenons in, I assume they're 35w.. if I wanted to go for 55w, is it hard to get to the stock ballasts to switch them as well?

In my previous car, the stock ballasts were pretty well integrated in to the headlight assembly which made it pretty tough to do..

The Ballasts are located under the headlight assembly themselves. They are simply bolted on. You'll need to pull out the headlight which means unbolting the under tray and removing the front bar. It's not too bigger job....if you've done it before.

Cheers Adz! I'll give it a shot some time soon hopefully!

mine blew a while back few months after i bought the car, and i've been having trouble ever since.. i bought a new pair from ebay and they weren't a matched paid so had them replaced by the seller, but even still.. the matched pair the colours differ slightly.. i'm thinking i should get it checked by an auto electrician, as the right hand light seems to be not giving the globe the correct power (and blowing my globes after a while)...

brand new Xenon will have a different color to your old ones, give them 50-100hours of use and it will match up, or you can just put the 2 new ones in?

should always replace bulbs in pairs. general rule.

[atomaly]

yeah i replaced them both and one bulb blew pretty quickly... so now i put the old one that worked back in so i have 2 headlights rather than driving with only 1 working.. even tho they aren't exactly matching colours... it will do til i can get it checked out.
