Yeah, but the way I see it, that price includes everything needed to do that retrofit. Including the HID bulbs and ballasts. I will be ordering my kit next week. Lol

Well on mine the light output with halogens was still waaaay better than stock, but 2 of my halo rings burned out within three months then there is some sort of self mounting pin on the back of the low beam and it some how broke off on mine. Needless to say the company's crap customer service swayed me to go back to stock.

you can score a set of cheap Depo brand Lightning reproduction headlights to use for the projectors. won't cost more than $100 for those

that'll bring the total up close to $500 for me, I'll need corners too. Definitely on my mind.

I mean, the cost may seem a bit steep, but when you look at what the end product will be, and the quality of the parts you will be using, it doesn't really seem like a lot.

And that's coming from a [broke] college kid working 16 hr/week part time. haha
