Default HID Headlights going bad?

my buddy has a 2000 s4 and one of his HID headlights has started to dim. Are the bulbs replaceable? or do you have to buy a new headlight? if so, where is the best place to purchase one?

thanks!

Mine, 4300K D2S,started turning yellow after 4 years of use.
Look for Phillips or Orsam replacements on E-Bay.

They are good for so many hours of use.

So we do have HID??? That's what I figured but wasn't sure. I thought I was going to have to go buy an HID setup. So all I have to do is get the 8000k bulbs. Cool.

Blade69, I don't know what you have. HIDs were an option.
