anyone had to change their HID bulbs yet?
I remember my old 2003 SAAB 9-3 the HID bulbs ran out at 4 years of use. I thought I kept a pair in spare, the dealer sells it for like $150 a piece. I just ordered a pair of HALO D2S bulbs for $77 a pair. Anyone knows if HALO is a good brand?

I recall checking out the HID bulbs in Canada, and you pay like $120 a piece plus tax, and that is not from the dealer (which is significantly more). So I figure, $77 for a pair is a pretty good deal, almost a 1/3 of the price.

The only thing I have to say about that is that I paid about $120 per bulb (always buy in pairs) for my Saab. I got the "purple eye", so the bulb was not burn, but it was starting to "die". I know that you can buy "cheaper" ones, but you kind-a get what you pay for. I also think that 3-4 years is kind-a premature for bulbs to burn (especially ones that cost that much), wouldn't your warranty cover one if it died? do you have the standard or extended warranty?

I had a 2003 Acura CL Type-S before my RDX. The HID bulb in the CL died at a little over 5 years. And, it ended up not even being the bulb but rather the ballast.
