If you have HIDs, that won't be for a long time. I still have the original OSRAM bulbs in my 2013. I replaced them for about 8 months, but the aftermarket ones burned out so I put the OEM ones back in.

When you replaced yours did you have to take the fascia off? I have a bulb out but haven’t found a bulb I want to replace it with yet that has a bright white to it other than the ones that @Rhill1124 posted above which I might try if they fit our cars too but I was told the front bumper has to come off? True?

What side is out?

The drivers side you just have to remove the air box assembly and you have access.

The passenger side is the pain in the ass. Turn the wheel all the way left. Remove the little plastic pop rivet things. Fold the wheel liner back, you can use the wheel to wedge it there. Remove the dust cap. The difficult part for me was removing the locking collar. I had to use an "18 flat head with a rubber mallet to knock it loose. Then you just remove the little cord that looks like a USB (it's not) and remove the bulb. Then you have to put the locking collar back on.

It's not fun, I ended up with like 6,000 little cuts all over my hand. You'll be laying on your back looking up and doing a lot of feeling around on your own without being able to see. I have larger hands so it made it even worse. A coworker with smaller hands didn't everything from above. Most people that DIY it do it the way I mentioned. Still better than $300+ at the dealer.

I believe the driver side haven’t seen my car in months so I can’t remember but I’m going to replace both so good to know it’ll be a fun job on the passenger side sounds like I’ll do that first lmao. At least the whole bumper doesn’t have to come off. I didn’t believe that when I heard it. Definitely better than 300 at the dealer.

I believe I have the HIDs though bc they do flash on camera does that make anything any sifferent?

The standard halogen bulbs are much easier to change as they don't have that locking collar. I'd recommend ordering a few extra locking collars prior to you giving it a go. I've broken 3. I'd say I've had my OEMs back in for 18 months - 2 years and the drivers side locking collar is held together with plumbers tape because I broke the last locking collar I had. They're cheap on eBay.

I appreciate the heads up!

Sorry not laughing at you just thought how you worded it was funny. I haven’t had to mess with mine yet but it’s coming since a headlight is out
