roadlamp light went out

One of my roadlamp lights is out (right side). How much will it cost to get it replaced? Also about how much labor time am i looking at if i get it done at a dealership

Just a side question: about how long do the HID headlights last on our cars?

Thx

It that time as mine both burned out. BUT stay clear of the dealership, as all you have to do is lay down under the car, pop out the little plug/clip and reach in and pull out the housing that hold the bulb, change it pop it in and then GIVE ME YOUR MONEY that you would have given to the highway robbery dealership !

Don't waste your money.......

Hey, I really want to get either the Polarg M6 or the PIAAs... What's the best site to get them from? I've been following the threads, and searched, but there didn't seem to be any consensus on what's a reasonable price to pay, and which merchants provide that price....

I want to order ASAP, I'm driving around with my assymetrical cyclops!

how much would the HID roadlamps costs? another thread mentioned arround $900...but that was for an '03 conversion

also, you guys think i could get brighter/more yellow bulbs for the road lamps? I really love the way is300's contrast the HID with the roadlamps

thx for your repiles

KKrangkar:
Go to PIAA website. Do "search" distributor/resellar and put in your name address and zip and it will give you local shops that sell them. You will pay 18.99 to 19.99 a pair. I just picked mine up at a RICE shop in concord kaliphoney !
