Where to buy a replacement headlight bulb?

I got the low beam message a few days ago and now my passenger bulb has gone out.. can I buy these in a regular store like walmart or something or is it an expensive bulb?

Theretrofitsource.com or even amazon

I got the Osram CBI true 5000k color and highest light output. But are like $100 per bulb so $200 total. Size D2S in case you need the size.

Look up reviews they are considered the best you can buy.

Do yourself a favor and make sure its the bulb. Move the bulb or ignitor to the other side to trouble shoot the problem. It could be the ignitor or ballast. This is assuming you have factory xenons. If it is a dead xenon bulb I suggest buying two as the odds are in the favor of the new bulb not matching color to the other older original bulb.

I got a pair for $20 shipped on Ebay. Works perfect looks just like the OEM on the other side. OEM will run you $90-100 each. $20 gets you two so even if it doesnt last forever you have a spare. No brainer IMO
