I replaced mine with these:
Marsauto D3S HID Headlight Bulbs, 6000K Cold White, Xenon Replacement Bulb, 3500 Hours Longevity, Waterproof Design, Up to 350% Brightness, 5 Minutes Installation, Pack of 2 https://a.co/d/0lUmptl

Make sure to check what your current specs are. I replaced mine with the same specs. I just needed to decide on what "color". Of course, replace both when you do. Save the old good one in your trunk for an emergency spare.

LOL, I should have deleted the "5 Minutes Installation." Copy/paste from Amazon. It's true once you spend the 20-30 minutes to remove everything to finally get to it.

There really aren’t too many options for complete headlight assemblies that are cheap. Even aftermarket ones are expensive. Hell even lightly used ones aren’t that much cheaper than a new one.

I would search for a good deal on a used one for a few reasons.
1. Save a couple bucks

2. You’re only replacing the passenger side. Your drivers side is used, replacing just the passenger side with brand new may be noticeable depending on the condition of your drivers side headlight and miles on your ride.

How do you like them? as bright as oem? for $40 a pair these sure do beat the $140 a pair from Diode Dynamics but how much quality is sacrificed

From the reviews it looks like they don't last. I have the Diode Dynamics. Can't complain, and the cost isn't that much more than factory replacements. Rock Auto shows replacements from $50 - $77 each.

I would say these are just OK, they are fine for me for the price. But I was replacing real dim ones. I just purchased the used vehicle, didn't know much about anything with these type of lights and thought I'd give them a shot.
Seems like every other person on the highway coming at me is brighter than mine...but I'm getting old with bad eyes, haha. And if it isn't brighter, it is some yahoo with their brights on who is clueless! Lol...but I digress.

The new 22/23 year model cars are coming with some real bright lights now and its getting hard to compete lol. Im replacing mine soon they are a bit too yellow for my taste, i like them more on the blue side so they match DRL's so i might try the Osram CBI DS3
