You should expect to pay from $50 to $80.

You should sell painted reflectors, I was looking all over for them and no luck. I guess the market for this kind of stuff is E90 crowd only...

I need to get rid of orange bulbs next, any ideas?
Bulbs that look silver normally then light up amber are available from internet vendors. However, on my e46 I went the cheap (free) route. Tape off the bulb contact area the just take some silver spray paint and very, very lightly mist the bulb from a good distance -- basically you just want a slight overspray on the glass. It takes away the orange look and if you keep the paint thin enough it doesn't cut down on the light output enough to notice.
