$27.00 plus $16.00 for shipping on two headlights with bulbs.

I paid $50 for a Bosch 301600118 housing plus $34.00 for two Osram Silver star bulbs.

I ahd those in the past, got rid of them because of the high current draw and the heat..

Same current draw and heat as stock halogens. However Osram does make higher output bulbs that do draw more current.
