Pretty much anywhere. You can buy just the housing rather than the entire assembly. The OEM ballasts add a lot to the price.

Sure. I am talking about the full assembly.

That's true, but it's also $445 more for OEM bulbs and ballasts. $702 / side for the assembly, $480 / side for housing.

You gotta pay to play bud. I'm all for saving $ but not at the cost of settling for a lower quality product.

not to mention, i just learned that insurance companies are starting to ask if there's an aftermarket hid kit installed on the car, and if there is, they might refuse to pay for damages to that car. so having them installed from the factory should only be more of a benefit later on down the road.

Did you Lose your High Beam by doing your head light ?

10 series must be wired differently. I just drove one this morning and led eyebrow stays on when switch is off and middle. When headlights are on the led eyebrow turns off. I like mine better though!

Nope...the led eyebrow shines brighter when high beam on.

Correction - the hids are dual. Low/high beam and the led only shine at one level.

Hey guys, just purchased my 10 Series light for 624 a piece, a steal compared to the list price of 875 from the regular dealership!

Will definitely be using DeOppressorLiber's harness for the install.

Updates to follow!

ah you got the inside hook up!! well played sir!

BTW...DeOppressorLiber will remind you like ten times lol but it's important to disconnect the DRL power thingy or you will fry your new headlights.
