2015 Genesis D1S Headlight Bulb

[ideejeffrey]

I couldn't find a post on aftermarket HID lights. One of my HID lights is gone on my 2015 Genesis Sedan 3.8 Ult. I understand it is a D1S model. The dealer wanted to charge $195 for the bulb (this is Canadian$).

The bulb is on the yellowish side so I want to match the original. Does anyone have the OEM info on it and specs? I see on Amazon there are ones that are much less expensive.

any help would be great!

Have you had your car for a year or 12k miles yet? (Not sure about Canada warranty) I think the bulbs are covered for one year or 12,000 miles in the US. Just a thought.

I was gonna say. The car is less than a year old. Even if the headlights were ran 24 hours a day for 365 days it would not reach the minimum life expectancy for an HID bulb (10,000 minimum life and 8,760 hours in a year). Therefore this is definitely a warranty item unless they can prove that external damage caused the failure.

Also, I am moving this to the lighting subsection

P.S. http://www.theretrofitsource.com/ is a great resource and I buy all of my bulbs there.

Just pull up D1S bulbs and you are good to pick whatever Kelvin rating you want.

+1. I have used them for many projects. Awesome company & quality products.

Buy a pair of bulbs in the temperature you want and replace them both. Always do in pairs. $.07
