haha.. i think this tread is officially been hijacked..from asking price to this. but i must say, 500 for a set of phillips hid is really dirt cheap.
hopefully these are not from a "hijacked" source as well.... apparently a container of these were hijacked up north in bayan lepas upon leaving the bocsh AL factory a few weeks back. ...

dwj, well nowadays HID sets are pretty reasonably priced in the market edi. I got mine, aftermarket retrofit Philips 6000K H1 HID kit for a mere RM 500 used from a good friend of mine.
Previously bought another set for my fiancee's car, originally AL HID 4350K HID with Philips D2S bulbs for RM 550 brand new. Btw, i've a new offer from another friend of mine....... he's selling his used 8000K D2R modded to H4 socket along with hi-low beam for a mere RM 700 negotiable. So what do u think of ur friend's asking price for his HID set?
I'm getting the 8000K hi-low beam HID for my newly-purchased Camry by end of this week. Good luck in ur hunt for HID sets dwj buddy. Perhaps i can source around with my circle of friends who's planning to sell off their HID sets? What's ur budget like?

be advised, an aftermarket HIDs conversion kit will not give you the performance of a OEM install HIDs system.
that being said, ever bumped into a toyota estima, mercedes S class, or even a late model e46 with oem HIDs at the stop lights at night and and admired their light projection on the road??? amazing aren't they.....
well, by fitting a HID conversion kit to you existing halogen projector won't help, the halogen projector are just not meant to be used with HIDs, the light projection is just bad with too many dead spots and terrible glare. you will need to do a projector retrofit from a oem HID projector to be at the same level of performance as the cars mention above.
i just got my set HIDs last week, wanted to install it ASAP, but after checking out the light projection, its just terrible...i get better light with my 100w H1. so, i did my projector retrofit, got to spend about 500 more but the the results is just priceless... great projection, amazing cut off and oem-like HID performance.
so unless its only coolness you are after with HIDs, go for the HID conversion kit. BUT, if you are after coolness and amazing performance, spend a little more and get a HID retrofit kit instead.
just my $0.02
