Haven't done one on my 2012 yet, but recall that OEM is $222 list from the dealer. Just saw one for $173 online. Aftermarket is cheaper but matching the color temperature is advisable and not sure how well they work. Beware that there are plenty of sellers calling Halogen bulbs HID.

D1S is the size. DO NOT buy aftermarket bulbs they are junk. buy OEM bulbs. retrofitsource has osram CBI (cool blue intense) which run at 5k instead of 4300k. they are also alittle bit brighter than the bulbs that come with our trucks. they have a pair for $200, pricey but these are THE BEST bulbs available
if you dont want to spend that much money look for a reputable ebay seller that sells OEM bulbs (new) and you can score a set for about $35.
I would also replace BOTH left and right bulbs at the same time otherwise you will have 2 bulbs burning at slightly different hues, ie if you only replaced your passenger then your drivers side will look more blue/white and your passenger will probably look yellow/white.
If you want to learn more about hid's check out hidplanet. and if you must go aftermarket spend the few bucks to get morimotos.
Good luck!

They are HID-D1S type lamps and you can purchase them anywhere. Always replace in pairs.
$47.00/each 5000K Sylvania @ or
$47.00/each 4300K Philips @
Higher Color does not mean more light!
The 4300K OEM lamps have the most Lumens around 3,200 where as the 5,000K to 10,000K lamps start to drop from 3000 to 2800 Lumens

Agree, aftermarket are hit or miss and can burn out in 1 day or 2 years. Some even flicker.
I only buy OEM or from retrofitsource:

The aftermarket morimotos are rock solid and OEM quality.

Just needed to be clear on the part number, D1S. Was having a hard time finding that. Anyway ordered the Sylvania off Amazon. Ordered a pair. Reading soe on the Phillips and it sounds there are quite a few fakes running around under the Phillips brand. WOuld like to have had the stock 4300K, but the 5000K will work too. Should be here TUesday to install them. Just can;t believe the originals went out already. Never replaced my 06 300SRT bulbs yet.

OK got the bulbs and now looking at how to get them in. Do you seriously have to remove the bumper to get the bulbs in? I tried the access through the fender well but there is not enough room (working on passanger side) to get the bulb out/in.
