One of my Xenon's has lost its pigment and is a redish/purple hue now. I understand they should be replaced in pairs but the dealer quoted $208/ea!, which means after tax thats a good $450.00 for a lightbulb, no thanks.

Anyone have an alternative? I cant trust eBay because I dont know the exact part number or spec (Hella, Sylvania?)

For a 2000 4.2

Thanks.

I picked up 2 brand new D2S Osram Xenarcs (OEM bulb Audi uses) for ~$60 last year. They've worked great for over a year now.

Our headlamps and tail light covers are Hella, with logo's and all...

I already checked eBay but there is a lot of junk on there as well, which makes finding the correct OEM bulbs difficult.

I can't think of a cheaper source for new, OEM goods.

I'm not sure about the eBay stuff others have mentioned...

I'm not doubting you at all, I just never realized those bulbs are that pricey $$$!

Ya, I'll keep my fingers crossed that mine will hold out for a while!
