Replying to: vanmjim (Sep 29, 2009 3:53 pm) you can buy after market bults - 2 for $70 from www.XerayUSA.com/hid also amazon has them for a bit more. We have a fleet of cady's and they work fine. you want d1s bulb. Problem is it takes 3-5 hours labor to change. if you are doing that, change both sides.
