What to do with a Xenon light bulb

So one of my light bulbs went out, and to avoid forking over $150 for a new one, I went to JLeviSW and got 2 (!) for $100. Being that they are a bit different in color from OEM, I figured I will replace both.

What do I do with the OEM one that's sitting in my garage?

Put it on a 4 wheeler or motorcycle?

I have a 10 million candlepower spotlight that takes the same style halogen bulb as the aftermarket headlights from my old and sold E36, was thinking of putting 1 xenon bulb in that, which would make that light obnoxious! But where would I put the module?

sell it or keep it in your car just in case your bulb blows which i doubt anytime soon since they are xenon, i would just sell it for a little money.
What Kelvin temp are the ones you bought from Jlevi?

I hope you bought Philips HID Capsules... They now come in the standard 4100K, a beautiful 5000K and the 6000K Ultinon... The 5000K is an awesome bulb, burns brighter then the stock 4100K and has that awesome bluish tint to it. The 6000K has a purplish tint.

I would sell the old one on EBay. Make sure you package it carefully. Once the return wire insulation is cracked, the Capsule is done.
