its been a while since i've had to say this so many times to one member.
Please SEARCH. the questions you've been asking have been covered, multiple times, and in depth.
its a LOT more than just headlights, new >$5k in parts, used still >$2k with hookups and a pain in the *** worth of wiring.

You can get a pair of OEM HID's on ebay for $500. Less than that if you look in car-parts.com and have some patience.
I am in the process right now. the headlight assemblies are the same so that part is a simple swap out. the wiring, done by someone who knows is not difficult either, my guy said less than 15 minutes.

let me be clear, the swap out will only give me HID's locked in place with no auto-leveling or high beam.
I will probably put another HID bulb in the high beam just for looks since another ballast would be required and more wires etc..
it is not OEM HID as it factory but for me it is enough and a lot less.

why not save some money and just go aftermarket prob ur best bet cuz as 98ls said no auto lvl or anything so in the end you just end up with hids that wotk just as good if you go aftermarket(long as u dnt go cheap lol)
