About the same as I paid for my first car too come to think of it
They were actually a bit cheaper than that; I paid about £70 each for them .... Which is still a tad expensive but I figure they (should) last several years. The last bulbs (also Philips) were on the car when I bought it over 6 years ago and were still working well when I replaced them. Besides, genuine generation 1 X-treme Vision bulbs are nearly as expensive.
Gotta be careful where you buy Philips bulbs though; there's a lot of fake ones out there. The gen2 bulbs had only just been released when I bought them a month or two ago and so (it seemed) only genuine bulbs were available. It's only a matter of time before the fakes start appearing though.
