Default HID Bulb Help!

One of my HID went out and I been looking around for one bulb and there really expensive and I have no clue where to find for a good price.I called Honda just to get an idea and they said $217 for one! Some people where telling me I am better replacing the whole HID system it will come out cheaper. Also what is the highest K I can put with the stock ballest? If anybody body can give me ideas I been driving with only one HID and you can have a nice car with only one working headlight lol.

I already took out the bulbs so I already know how to replace them I just need help where to find the bulb that went out. Thanks!

Majestic has them for $140 per bulb. It's a D2S bulb so you can just shop around if you want to go aftermarket. I would replace both bulbs if you're gonna go non OEM.

Are you sure it's the bulb? Did you take the working bulb and swap it to the non working side to double check?

I seen D2S HID bulbs on eBay for way cheaper from a good seller. Also I was looking at the blown HiD the line inside"I forgot the proper name" it's suppose to go straight threw right? I didnt take out the other side to swap them and test I just look threw it and it wasn't connected inside.

Gotcha, you can see inside the bulb and tell that the filament is broken.

Yea you can probably source bulbs much cheaper than OEM Honda ones. If I were replacing mine, I would go with a 5000 or 6000k bulb (stock is 4200-4300k IIRC)
