    I replaced my bulbs a few times, all purchased on ebay. Each one costs just a few dollars. These bulbs work well. Purchase those shipped from USA, not abroad.

    Hi! Nope. I use the same spec of bulbs as the stock bulbs. However, there are plenty of HID bulbs on eBay for just a few dollars each.

    All the bulbs I bought from overseas were low qualities junks. They did refund to me though. All those shipped domestically work well.

    Not all HID Bulbs are created equal | PriusChat

    Hopefully the Philips D2R bulbs sold and shipped by Amazon (not a 3rd party reseller) are genuine and not fakes.
