Bi xenon bulb replacement costs?

How much should I expect to pay for a bi xenon bulb replacement? I know they'll be more that your standard Sylvania or Philips halogen, but the local dealership is quoting me $254 for one side (parts only).

Use your VIN to determine if you have D2S or D1S. Change them yourself for ~$80 each plus shipping. Replace them in pairs.

If you shop around, you can find them in the $50-60 range. For 2008, I think they're D1S, earlier models had the D2S. If you find them much cheaper like $10-$20 on ebay, they're probably fakes and will flicker or burn out early. I wouldn't get them from Amazon, they tend to mix their inventory with 3rd party sellers so that even if you get it from the seller Amazon, you may end up with a fake.

1 year ago, Replaced by a pair of D1S for $20 from Amazon, so far so good.
