Headlight busted...out of warranty...need new D2R BULBS...HELP!

So I finally tracked down the reason why my HID bulbs keeps blowing out every year..."they" (whoever they may be) forgot to put the rubber seals back on the headlight housing...so whenever it rains REAL hard and I have my bulbs on BAM! instant blowout. So now I have 55k miles and the dealer is refusing to cover it under warranty. So now I ask advice from all of you guys.

Money is REAL tight, so I must use a credit card. What are my options? How much more is it for a pair of 6000k bulbs? If not, I was thinking of ordering all my parts from acuraautomotiveparts.org

I have bulbs from my 330ci still. But they are ds2. No idea how hard it would be to fit. I'd sell for $170

Ds2 should fit fine with minor adjustment.

i sell you a pair of oem philips d2r bulbs for $80 shipped. they will be slightly whiter and brighter then the osram your used to. i sell parts all the time and have done several xenon projector conversions. go ask about me in the 1st gen forum. u paypal me at mrk183@psu.edu and you'll have them in 3 days or less. let me know. 908 397-7696 -MiKE

d2s are the same bulb without the black coating. it will be brighter and you'll end up creating glare for oncomming traffic, but if u want d2s i got both osram and philips. same price.

AAArrggg! Damn you guys. I ended up buying a set of premium 6000k bulbs a week after my post. Then a month later you guys offer me exactly what I was looking for a month later, for less than 1/3 the price that I paid for!!!

BTW....thanks alot VXCL...I'll pass the word around.
