the people I work with in Germany don't sell extras either on the lights, its VERY hard for me to get lights with modules etc, this is why the euro lights are best for people who have xenon with amber lenses, and you swap the parts off of yours to these (ballasts and modules, takes approx 15 min per light), aftermarket lights like DEPO sell with bulbs and ballasts, but they arr cheap Chinese knock offs...vs OEM hella lights. These housing go for $900-1100 each new from BMW...and thats with no modules etc...look for your self on realoem.com
