Default Xenon bulb replacements

Hey everyone,

So this week a DRL and one of my Xenon bulbs went out. I'm really hoping to avoid the ~$150 per bulb, but still hope to find something quality with good longevity. With labor, the cost will be up to about $500 -- which I'm sure many of you already know. Does anyone have any recommendations on bulb replacements? Or is OEM the way to go?

Thanks!!

I went OEM after I bought some aftermarket (Ziza) bulbs. One worked and the other did not.

I just did this replacement due to a xenon bulb being dead and went with the
Amazon.com: Morimoto D2S 5500K XB HID Bulb, Pack of 1: Automotive Amazon.com: Morimoto D2S 5500K XB HID Bulb, Pack of 1: Automotive

very happy with the results so far. Also, for the record the DRL bulb is the biggest PITA to replace...I've dealt with a lot of things on audis: frozen control arm bolts, complete timing belt jobs...but the DRL bulb was just a huge PITA...I was almost at the point of completely taking off the entire bumper and pulling out the headlight assembly at one point.
