Default I got mine on ebay for $35 each. Just be sure to get the Phillips bulbs, not....

the Asian knock-offs. The 4300 K units are, I believe, the same as stock units and will provide the most light. The higher temperature bulbs have a bluer color to them, but do not provide as much useful light.

Default yep

Here is the ebay ID:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&amp;userid=akinaboy&amp ;iid=

Also, I just looked it up in my paypal transactions.

Here are the contact details it listed:

Business Contact Information

Customer Service URL: http://www.hidconcept.com
Customer Service Email: sales@hidconcept.com

So you may be able to just buy directly from them.
