Question Metal Halide Replacement bulbs

Where do most of you purchase your bulbs from? also How often do MH needs to be changed? I bought two on ebay, 175W 10k ballast reflector and I believe used bulbs for 80 bucks each. I think the bulbs were used bacause they have been on the tank for about 6 months but know the tank is covered in algea and has a yellow tint to it.
