Where to find Sylvania Xenarc HID lights?
My BMW has Xenon headlights and I love the quality of the light output. I definitely want to install a set into my L. Not looking to go cheap with a kit; would prefer high quality easy assembly. I've searched and everyone seems to like the Sylvania set, but everywhere I look online they are out of stock. Does anyone know where I can find them? They come with High and Low beams, right?
Are there any other kits worth considering? I'd be willing to spend up to around $750 for this upgrade...
THANKS!

Are there ANY other options on the market right now?

LOL...better be a date with their sister and cousin, and with a happy ending to boot.

I bought a new set directly from Sylvania a year ago for $280 shipped to my door. They've been discontinued for at least a year and a half and the last ones were sold back around April of last year. The DOT requires all HID in newer cars to be self-leveling. I'm guessing that this restricts Sylvania from making these fixed ones anymore because they wouldn't be "DOT approved". Another big thanks to the Federal government.

Got them on my 'L' ... f cin great improvement over the stock candles.
My X5 has them and they are awesome - better than the 'L' conversion though fitted from stock and three time the price.
I paid about $450 plus shipping for Silv HID kit and plus import & tax to the mother land.
Easy kit to instal and no probs in two years.
