Anyone know a good place to buy new bulbs for my hid kit, as one of mine has gone? Is it easy enough to change em?

bulb is easy to fit yeah. undo the 3 plugs between existing bulb and ballst pack, take the bad bulb out and then assemble in opposite order with new bulb.

Have you checked it's the bulb that's failed, and not the ballast?

Check both bulbs with the same ballast, and each ballast with the known working bulb.
