BEST OPTION to replace dead HID Bulb in 6R GTI With OEM Xenon

[spare]

Hi guys,

The drivers side headlight is out on my 2013 Polo GTI with OEM Xenon's.

What's the best way to go about a replacement?

Rang up the stealership and they quoted $408.95 for 1 gas filled bulb!

What are my options?

Happy to replace with aftermarket and buy them as a pair (so that I don't have colour mismatch issues) if it's still going to work out cheaper.

Can recommend Osram Xenarc Nightbreaker. The globes look white when you look at them, but they have a white-yellow tinge on the road, not nearly as yellow as a halogen though, has the best visibility, but not for those who want extreme white light.

Also Osram Xenarc CBI (Cool Blue Intense). Globes look bluey-white when you look at them, but on the road it's extreme white. Due to the power of them you don't lose much luminous flux on the light spread. I think the testing done I saw on another forum it was 30 lumens less than the Nightbreaker.

My preference is visibility and safety hence the pick for me is the Nightbreakers. There is a seller in the UK, he sells both varieties for approximately $120 for a pair, and yes! they are genuine. The shipping to AUS took 7 days.. Shocked me. If you can go without the globe for a little bit, this is the best way.

Not sure what size the polo's bulbs are maybe D2S..? but here is a link to one of his products. 2 x D2S OSRAM Xenarc COOL BLUE INTENSE 6000K Light Xenon HID Car Bulb (TWIN) | eBay

I have a pair of brand new Morimoto D2S in 4500k colour temp (as close to OEM colour as you can get) which i never fitted to my car before i sold it. If these are the correct bulbs for your Polo then you are welcome to the pair for $100 and i can post them off next week express post.

I require D3S apparently, as they're to go into the stock OEM Xenon headlights.
