01 2.8 HID
lucker for a while on the boards...finally registered
Thing is one HID went out on my 01 A4 2.8. I'm looking to get a replacment so I can do it myself, so I call audi and they're telling me its $350 just for the dam bulb....that can't be right
Does anyone know where I can get one cheaper online?
Thanks!

Low beam headlamp
HID-D2S
Says D2S are $15 extra, and H7 is your bulb type.
So, about $45 shipped for 2 bulbs. Not bad?

Isin't he going to need the ballasts and whatever else to use the HID bulbs? I know you can't just plug the bulbs into the projector housing and go..... Maybe somebody else can chime in as i have always had hid's from the factory...

He's already got factory HIDs (or an aftermarket HID kit) so he's got the ballasts already. If the bulb is really the problem, it gets changed just like a regular halogen bulb. The harness to the HID bulb comes from the ballast, so it'll work fine.

Be honest. Did you just read the title of the thread and reply before reading his post?
