I paid 235 CDN. This is with warranty, so i went ahead and got a set from a local BMW Group buy as the BMW guys had good experiences with this "K-Light" kit.
Its a relatively easy mod, I say go for it, for any of you that want to change the bulbs out to Xenons.

Hey Rasp, where did you put the ballasts for your fogs? I got my second HID kit in, i just have to order the MS fog light brackets and i can start doing the fogs.
Thanks

Seriously.. FML..
This is the kit you have correct? http://www.jrtlighting.com/main.htm
6000k I believe..
I'm either considering that or MTEC HID kit on Ebay.. Which is much more expensive..

looks great. your parking lights now look yellow in comparison. ive been wanting to do a similar conversion for my beamer. but, that's the reason decided not to. ie, unless u change your parking lights, fog lights all the match the brighter hue of the HIDs, it's sort of a dead giveaway that you modded your lights. and, in CA it's technically illegal to modify your bulbs i think- tho i've yet to talk to anyone getting pulled over for it.
