Not sure how many of you guys put HIDs into your rig but I always do! I love this lite!
anyways if you did and you are looking for replacement bulbs, I ahve found this guy on ebay to be cheap and will take under $40 for a set of bulbs.. cheaper then local. They are good quality and I am using them in both my JAG and my Hummer.

Re: HID BULBS ANYONE???
Are they just plug and play or do you have to modify the factory wiring harness or install any other hardware?

completely plug and play, about 20 minutes worth of work, only because I taped the wires in with the OEM, looks mint and of course works GREAT

Just in case some of us have not done our HID homework, HID bulbs require HID systems to run; a ballast and appropriate wiring. You can't install a HID bulb in a non HID application.
Another consideration when buying HID bulbs is their location of manufacture. Chinese bulbs are cheap but they are also cheaply made compared to the Japanese ones. I can not comment on how this relates to long term use and reliability.

I have the whole kit, yes it is Chinese but I love it!!! No issues at all....
