Good HID bulbs are around this price range. I paid $190 on a pair of 6000K Phillips Ultinon D2R for my last Acura and just bought the 6000K Ultinon D4S for my GS350 for $250. Can't wait to swap out the stock 4300K bulbs. They are too yellow! Even the 6000K output lumens is a little lower than the 4300K, it's whiter and looks brighter to the eyes.

I swapped out my stock bulbs with Garax HID bulbs... around $90 for two bulbs I think. I still have my stock bulbs and could sell them to you cheap if interested. Also check the for sale section if you just want stock bulbs.
