not suer, but I know the dealer said repair was like $130, so maybe something more expensive than a regualr light, even if the daler over-charged

The first generation front bumper cover comes off EXTREMELY easily. Two little screws where it meets the fender at the fender well. Couple of plastic press-in clips below that and by the parking light that just pop-out after the screws are out. You will need to undo the screws that hold the front splash shield to the bottom of the cover. After that, there are two more screws, one to each end of the radiator support that you'll need to lay on your back and look-up to get. --pretty much impossible to explain their location, but easy to access--

After that, people say back of the headlight is extremely easy to get to.

Almost 100% certain xenon fusion are not HID; they are just a higher output incandescent bulb. If the manual says H1 is the type, then no, they are not HID.

You can get bulbs anywhere, but I was messing around on Sears.com the other night and they have Hella high outputs bulbs even cheaper than TireRack.com.

Another good place for bulbs is Susquehanna MotorSports - High Performance Vehicle Lighting and Competition Accessories
