Around $200. anything cheaper is really not worth it. And yes you can buy a kit that is plug and play to use the stock housing. Or you can go for the even better ones but the cost is really high.

Well yeah this is my first post, but how about I've heard good reviews about them, and they come with bulbs, wiring, ballasts, harness.

no, that's not wicked, that's a blinding for oncoming traffic, and also highly illegal.

The 100 dollar ones wont last long at all. maybe like one or two months, then the ballast burns out.
