Bulb America has an OEM replacement lamp module with OEM bulb for the DLA-RS25 for about $127.
I've been using a Sony VW95ES for many years and have replaced the bulb at least twice. The Sony bulb assemblies are very expensive yes (in the $300+ area). These include the bulb itself and the full frame module. I have just bought a replacement bulb and unscrew/disconnect the existing bulb for replacement. This is doable on the Sony bulbs, but it does not appear to be an option for JCV bulbs.
