Default 02 S4 Xenon or Bi-Xenon and where do i get just the bulbs?

They have 124,000 miles on them and aren't that bright anymore. The one on the right is starting to turn a little bit of a different color. I thought if i replaced the bulbs that it might fix the issues. Anything else it might be? The lenses aren't in bad shape at all.

Default Probably not. Those bulbs definitely need to be replaced. Check in eBay for D2S bulbs

or try froogle.com. Mine were horrible at 90k, I can't imagine how dim they would be with that high of mileage.

Thanks. They are very dim. Are the bulbs easy to put in and how much is a good price?

Default yes thats right. they are extremely easy to put in, do THIS.....

1.first, open hood...
2.take off the cover with the lightning bolt on it warning you of how fcked you can get by the powa of xenon lol.
3.unplug the bulb from the harness, dont overthink this step, its easy.
4.your bulb should be in there not plugged in, but still secured by a clip, get that clip off, its easy as well you push down so it slides out of some locking thing you'll understand when you're in there...
5.reinstall new bulb, do the clip! THEN, plug it in. DO NOT try to plug the bulb in and wiggle the clip over it you will want to kill yourself.
6. cover back on with lightning bolt
7. on to the next side

Default Thank you! Very helpful! Dealer quoted me $450 for the pair of OEM bulbs HELP...

I want the OEM bulbs, nothing blue or fancy. The stock 3800k i guess they are. I don't do e-bay and need a trusted online retailer to order from. Ideas?
