Your links are screwy; re-post and I can give you input.

I got mine from an eBay seller who listed them for $350 or something, but he had the "Best Offer" deal and I got them instantly for $300.

Well I'm with the million or, so drivers that absoutly hate tuners wo have modified their lights to run illegal set-ups that would look more at home on an UFO, than on the road pointed at my face at night. I gave up, keeping my 2004 S80 HID headlights in working order and, simply fitted a pair of OEM halogen headlights in their place. I like the HID technology but have not found the technology very practical for my pocket book.
