Question H.I.D. Replacement bulbs?

Anyone know where I can purchase replacement H.I.D. bulbs for my H.I.D. kit?

I purchased my kit from Rex Motorsports online, and one of the bulbs does not work (it flickers and goes out, occationally will stay on for a few minutes). I've swapped the bulbs to see if it is the ballast, but the problem follows the bulb.

Rex wants me to send in the entire kit (which I am not willing to do...I don't want to risk damaging the good bulb) and will not just replace the bulb or sell me a new one.


Please help!

Don't continue buying those cheap Asian-made bulbs, or you'll find yourself replacing them every couple of months. The average lifespan of a Korean/Taiwanese HID capsule is 176 hours. They have poor quality control and reliability. Buy a Philips or McCulloch bulb from www.autolamps-online.com or www.suvlights.com . It'll be the last bulb you'll ever have to buy with a lifespan of 2600-3000 hours.
