Change both because the color might be off with just changing the one bulb.

The problem with you finding it is that its a mishimoto bulb hyper white. You can either get it from the dealer or order it online somewhere or get after market but wont be as bright. Close but not as bright. Bulb style is a D2S.

^Are you sure OEM is Mishimoto... usually it's Osram Sylvania or Phillips..

OP,

Get a pair and replace them as such. If you want aftermarket Morimoto is a decent brand for 50 bucks a pair. Else you can get Osram or Phillips for about 100. TheRetrofitSource.com is my go to shop for headlight needs. Be wary of counterfeit bulbs though
