They are HID-D2S bulbs. You are right, 20 bucks seems a bit cheap for a Nissan part. You should also replace them in pairs and not one at a time.

They looked up the non HID halogen bulb, I believe the part number you need is in the link below.

However at that price for OEM parts, you might as well go aftermarket and get some nice D2S bulbs from elsewhere for the same price for the pair.

You can catch Phillips bulbs on ebay for around 70 delivered +/- a pair.

You dont need the kit if you have stock OEM HIDs, you already have a ballast. You just need 35W D2S bulbs.

Again, I suggest getting name brand bulbs instead of no-name's from China. Look for 4300k if you want the stock look.

2009 models didn't have the projectors yet right? if so, i think the bulbs are D2R, at least they were on the 2008.
