Ouch! Didn't expect such a hostile response. The math is great, thanks. It really shows that over retail price this is a good deal, but the theory of your "main point" is flawed. It would be true if you said you can not get the stock JDM highs for $250 if you walk into your local dealer and pay list price. There are other options to paying full retail, and I'm sorry that you were unaware of them. For instance there are many dealers around the country that will sell you these at 25% discount, or you could do as I did... order them from ebay. Also you have forgotten to add the value of the stock lights into the equation, true to some they are worth very little, but fact is if you want to quote retail prices for used lights... you must do the same for these.

actually:
highs are approx 187 each, new. (approx 375 for the set)
lows are approx 238 each, new. (approx 477 for the set)
i know, because i just bought them from jay marks toyota. if you like, i can find the invoice and photograph it.
WARNING: math content below!
based on my limited mathematic abilities, if you want to divide this up completely based on the ratio of the cost differential, here is how to:
375 + 477 = 852 (total market price)
now, 600 is the asking price, so say: 600 / 852 ~= 0.704
what does that mean? you are paying 70.4% of the total market price.
apply that 70.4% to the prices of the highs and lows exclusively:
375 * 0.704 = 264
477 * 0.704 = 335.80
20cents missing, but take the 80 and missing 20cents, add it to the 264, and blammo.
$335 + stock for the lows.
$265 + stock for the highs.
that is the most directly representational prices that could be asked, based on the market value, and his asking price.
the main point is to say that you can't get the stock highs for 250.

Wow! 300+ stockers for the highs! You could just buy them new for like 250.
I don't want to break this to you but it seems like you are asking alot.
