Default Bulbs on ebay. about $65 per pair. Many people remove the entire housing to replace the bulb

It's basically 3 bolts. One on the passenger side is a bit tricky, but not difficult at all.

Default I'm doing both sides this weekend. Gonna try to just put them in w/o removal.

Taking out the entire ballast was pretty easy, though, when I cleared my corners, so we'll see.

Bulbs also bought on ebay.

The guy's price just went up around $7 for a pair, though :-(

fit the bulb in the housing first, then plug the backing onto the bulb = no housing removal req.
