If you don't mind dremeling and some zip ties, there are cheaper options out there
If you want the factory fit, this is your best bet.
I'm running 55W ballasts and bulbs in my own housings, but that required some dremeling and the ballasts still hang down a bit. That's not visible from the outside of course.
Anyway, keep me posted. I'll probably toss these on ebay in a day or two if you don't want them.

If you do $120 shipped I'll prolly do it...
Money isnt that big a deal to me when spending ~$200(anymore and I esplode with brokeness), I was thinking about Avalon's 55W 6000k kit for $220, just havent gotten around to ordering yet. How big of a difference is there between stock HID's and teh 55W ones?

While they're 55% brighter (pruely on a numerical sense), what they do allow you to do
is run a higher temp bulb with less light loss then you'd have at the 35w spec.
As it was explained to me by a tech, 6000k @ 55w have similar light output to 5000k @ 35w.
Can't beat the lifetime warranty and keeping Brian in business either.

I can do $135 shipped
The difference between stock and 55W is pretty noticeable. I was originally going to try and use the factory ballasts in fog lights, but have decided to just stick with 55W all around.
