Thats WAYYYYY Too much for fake (I mean imitational) Xenon headlight system (by the way I guarantee you the pics are from REAL HID systems probably 5000k or 6000k Stage II systems). If you're looking for some 'xenon gas' filled bulbs just try Ebay or something (the price for a pair of H7 is about $20-25). Look for color temperature rating (4250k= daylight from my understanding) and anything higher look blue to purplish color. I'm getting some 4500k bulbs (I used same ones on my A4 and were very pleased with result). The guy is selling me high/low/fogs/city light bulbs all 4500k for $50 shipped. I'll let you know how they turn out if interested. Dont wast your money on those $80 pairs (including overrpriced PIAA bulbs).

I was gonna settle for the PIAA extreme white bulbs that I am using now, but after seeing my freinds' real HIDs, I think there is still a big difference between real HID kit and fake HID bulbs (my personal opinion), so I'll get real HID kit soon.
