There are several vendors in our vendor marketplace who can assist you with ordering a new bulb

Don't buy a cheap, Chinese aftermarket bulb. It won't match the OEM in color, and even if you buy a pair, you'll likely suffer in light output and beam pattern. I'd look for a pair of high-quality OEM-type Philips, Sylvania, or Osram D2S replacements, and stick with a color temp of 4300K - 5000K. Here's an example:

Philips D2S Xenon HID Headlight Bulb, Pack of 1 : Amazon.com : Automotive Philips D2S Xenon HID Headlight Bulb, Pack of 1 : Amazon.com : Automotive

EDIT: Sorry, don't know why 2 links are above - they're both the same.

I installed these last month:

MAXLUX HID Xenon Bulbs D2C (D2S/D2R) 4300K (1 Pair, OEM White) : Amazon.com : Automotive MAXLUX HID Xenon Bulbs D2C (D2S/D2R) 4300K (1 Pair, OEM White) : Amazon.com : Automotive

Color is very close to stock, and the reviews seem to indicate a good life. Price is hard to beat too.

Hope this helps, pretty sure you're supposed to get HID-D2R for low beam replacements. I had a guy try to sell me H7 bulbs because the salesperson confused "HID Attitude - Halogen bulb inside package" with actual HID bulbs

The late-style ('06>) Bi-Xenon HID headlamps each use a single D2S bulb, which serves as both the low and high beam.

Oh & also the reason why my bulb burned out in the first place is because I was missing the wheel covering under the headlight so water got in it...where can I get the new covering?
