One side of my AE has went out and I was wondering if it's a bulb replacement or full piece replacement? If it's just a bulb, then do you know the bulb type/number? I've read a lot of the AE info on the forum, but $200-300 bucks seems like a lot for bulbs. Thanks

It's good news that's it's just a bulb, but the LED part? Is there a LED bulb that plugs into the old bulb's spot, any issues with warning lights popping up?

The original bulb is size BA9S. You can replace that tiny bulb with an LED type but it won't be any brighter.
I would recommend a full LED replacement for a whiter output:

My angel eyes went out a few times, but I made them go back on with a light tap of the side of my fist on the headlight. It worked in the past half a year twice on the right and once on the left.
