Long story short. It's a known fault with gen2's. Buy cheap bulbs. No sense installing $100 bulbs every 2 weeks.

if you go to custom import performance and you can get bulbs for 50 bucks or so...and they are guaranteed for life...they blow out and they replace them for free!!

junkyard is the only place. Be prepared to pay through the nose, as you will basically be "ruining" their headlights.
Call around to local junkyards and see if you can get a "broken" set of light cheap. Then you can get them for like $10, and take the clips out of them.
