Angle eyes bulb replacement ?

My passenger side ae went out today. Can I just buy a regular h8 bulb from autozone or do I need to go to the dealer. Will the bulbs match or does it not matter for regular non-xenon bulbs ? How hard is replacement on passenger side ?

I opened the compartment for the headlights and only see one bulb, made by osram. Does the angle eye take one bulb for both rings or two. Also is this considered wear and tear item or is it covered under warranty ? I ask this not because I'm cheap, it's just that it's a pain in the ass to get to if u have big hands. I scraped my knuckles just trying to remove the plastic housing.

yea,the angel eyes are only one bulb but it has to be a specific bulb. not too sure if autozone has it but they should, just ask them for an H8 specific bulb. Since you have to change it you might as well get the LUX H8 since it looks awesome (just my 0.02) if you have the money. Not too sure about the warranty though

Thanks Tony, yeah I did want to upgrade the ae's but I was waiting for something that looked as bright in the daytime. I know the Lux8 is used by a lot of members here, but I was hoping the led versions would be a little better during the day. Gonna wait a few months and see what comes out. If not I'll probably go with lux8, have u tried the gp thunders as well ?

The bulbs are covered by the warranty. LUX H8's look great. All depends on whether you want to spend money.
