There are some dirt cheap ones on ebay. 20 bucks for 2 or something. I bought a couple because I doubt the quality is THAT bad. We'll see.

You should swap the bulbs side to side to see if you really have a bad bulb.

+1.

AND.........if you go buying bulbs off Ebay or Amazon you might not get the same heat/color range. Definitely go swap them first, then you need to go find the best price on an OEM or equivalent.

i received the other bulb today and decided to try and change it through the fender hole drivers side.just remove the coolant bottle and it was less of a pain then removing the tire and liner.if you never changed one before i would go through the liner on one side so you know how it comes apart.
