just bought some 8500k blue xenon hi and low beam bulbs from ebay. they're from euro dezigns. yeah yeah, i know everyone is gonna say euro dezigns sucks but they only cost me $1.98 for both pairs and they have a lifetime warranty, so when (not if lol) they burn out i can get free replacements. i definately wouldn't have paid $25 from a retail store for them though. i'm gonna install them tomorrow and take some before and after pics at night and upload it on my cardomain page.

How long do the bulbs last in an aftermarket HID kit? How much $$ are replacements? I tried some SilverStars in my camaro and they lasted only a few weeks. Def. a waste of $20+ per bulb.
