Default Xenon Bulb Replacement

So I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to replace the xenon headlight bulbs. I check like Pep Boys and Autozone and they dont even carry Xenon bulbs. I called the dealer and they want $240 to replace one headlight, not including labor. What does everyone else do, their has to be a better solution.

It's really not that hard and you can get a good set for around $50 online if you check around. there's the cover to take off and then the plug and then a wire holder that holds the bulb in place. the worst part is room to access the one headlight is very limited, but it can be done without removing the headlights.

Default Xenon Bulb Replacement Pictures?

Does anybody have pictures of how to replace Xenon bulbs in a B7 A4 without removing the bumper? I am sick and tired of this "dipped headlight" problem, and I refuse to pay Audi to fix this as it should be covered under warranty. I would love to do it myself, but I am not adept enough to take the bumper off.

Has anybody actually replaced their xenon bulbs with this method (other than the guy who posted the guide)? It looks mighty tight in there...
