I needed to replace the bulb. The bulb was $144.00 and the rest was labor.

Yep.. It started turning a light purple color. Just relieved it wasn't the converter(inverter) or something else that was going to run between $450-$600 bucks.

Yeah, thats about right. Cost on the bulb is about 95-100 bucks on the aftermarket kits. You could have bought a new 8k kit, it looks much better than the ones that we have stock on the Acura.
