What's everybody using on their Camaros 2010 or so to replace the factory HID bulbs? I got a brand off of Amazon and one of them is out after 2 months. thank you in advance.

Not cheap, but dealer wanted $300 plus tax for one bulb

Have been running fine for over 4 years. Think these are OEM, or equal to OEM.

They have been my go-to for HID bulbs. Any product line will do. They look absolutely fantastic on my car.

I swapped my standard lights for these LEDs. I currently have 3 years and 16k miles on them. They work great.

I’ve always been happy with lighting I have gotten from Diode Dynamics:

In the past they have offered free shipping if you mention you are coming from Camaro5. I think they may have also run things like Labor Day sales in the past as well.

I've always been a big fan of Diode Dynamics and a guy I went to college with, his brother is partial owner. Great company and great products. I have their LED's many places in my car and will be going to them for headlight replacements when needed.

Rockauto has ACDELCO for what looks like a good price and also Philips.

Thanks everyone.

After seeing some of the ridiculous HID bulb prices I decided to try some from Amazon made from the finest Chinesium available for less than $45.00 for 2.

I see no reason to spend over a hundred dollars for ONE stinkin light bulb when the cheap ones see to function just fine.

Were these direct replacement?

I'm not sure what you're asking. I just removed my old halogen bulbs and popped these LEDs in there. They are a conversion kit (with the capacitor, I think?), so they're just plug-and-play.

These will not work if you have HID headlights.They will only work if you have the regular halogen lights.

This is more or less what I was after. I should have been more specific. I wasn't sure if they could be retrofitted in HID housings.

Thank you both though.
