Yup, that's about right. Lighting is not something worth going cheap for. There is definitely a difference between quality bulb and cheaper variants.

I installed the new bulb on the purple side to compare the difference between the OEM phillips bulb for $244 at dealer vs the pair i got for $70 and there was no significant difference, only thing was the color was slightly different but i purchase the 6k (so thats probably why) but after i put both of them on and drove around, i couldn't even tell the difference between these and the oem bulbs that i had on there prior. For me, saving $418 on a pair of headlight bulbs were worth it. (fingers crossed on the life span though lol)

My comment wasn't directed at you. Decent aftermarket bulbs for $70+ is normal. I was referring to the comment of buying $20 D1S bulbs and such from eBay.
