Headlight bulb burned out

[luchito78]

Hi guys:

One of my headlights burned out.

I was looking at ECS and saw ES#1059 for $80.69 plus shipping.

Stealership wants $119 with taxes included.

Just want to make sure that this is the right bulb.

Thanks for your help.

1. Don't replace HID blubs singly. If one burns out, replace them both or your colors will be off between lights.

2. ECS price is for 1 bulb. You can buy a pair of Philips for the same price or less, and they work great...

3. Ebay, Amazon, etc is your friend for these. All you need is a pair of D2S Xenon bulbs, color 4300K if you want OEM color, or ~5000K if you want to get a little more blue/white color.

Once you have them, come back for install instructions, it's simple but can be tricky if you've never done one before

I bought my replacements from Retrofit Source. Nice quality, and doesn't break the bank.

The 5K is perfect form/function as far as color is concerned.

Also, I found replacing the bulbs to be a huge pain in the ass. Just a heads up.
