HID Lamp Out! Night Breakers Good or ???
 
Passenger side HID failed yesterday. Flickers a little, but won't start. I've been considering replacing them both anyway as I've had the X for over 5 years and have never replaced them.

I need to order replacements right away and read on here that some have used the Osram Night Breakers from Powerbulbs with good results.

Any additional thoughts one way or the other?

My nightbreakers are excellent

Same, big improvement over the stockers.

You might want to test the known good bulb from the other side first to make sure your ballast isn't the root cause.

HID (Xenon) lamps often go a funny pink colour right before they fail. Flickering is another symptom but that can be the ballast or the lamp.

Sounds like new lamps are a good place to start anyways...
