HID bulbs? one went dead, and i'm not ready to pay $185 GM each or $244 for a 6000k set. any decent aftermarket bulbs cheaper? or does someone upgrade and have one laying around they would part with?
just so i'm on the same page i'm looking for a D1S bulb?
sorry i'm old school so i've never added HID because the ballasts are heavy and this is the first car i needed to chase a HID bulb down on

Sorry just noticed i had a Pm (thanks jerrad) but yeah they are d1s bulbs any d1s should work. just go to fle-ebay and type in "d1s hid"
also while you have the bumper out I reccomend Changing the high beams (9005XS bulb#) to Hoen's super white ones.
My buddy has some hoens in his TBSS and they look awesome and haven't had any heat problems at all
I plan on doing this soon just haven't gotten to it yet.
Good luck

It should only be available on the stsv or SRX. Also on NON v cts. It just moves the housing to make it always right. You can do calibrations to set it up with bidi controls with the tech2. Not sure why it wouldnt work if you plug it all in on the v, but that is just extra weight.

BTW it doesnt matter if they are xs that just means they are straight instead of that 90 degree angle where they plug in . Any 9005 bulb will work
