99 isnt a bad price.

Not a bad price if they are a true HId kit. You have to watch out for some of those things on ebay cause most of them are just blue colored bulbs. If they are legit i would get them. You could also save your money and buy some projector lights instead.

Since they don't include a projector with a lens designed for an HID bulb, I'd be very wary. The price is pretty cheap, which is possible if poor quality parts are used. Sort of the old "Cheap. Fast. Reliable. -- pick two" truism. You'd still need to get a set of projectors, clear lenses, and mountings (if you didn't get Celica projectors).

Yea I thought is was cheap. Considering that from looking that your HID kits are about US$150 give or take.

Thanks for that insight and also to SoDo.

I think I will just save my money.

culpables HID's in the f/s section is the best way to go IMO

If Culp isn't doing the HIDs any more I have a guy here I can get a kit from for $120 + shipping ($120 is what he charges, so I wouldn't make any $$ off it)

I have the kit on my car now and I'm very happy with it.

could you please post some pics of how they look?
On ebay, there is a seller known as intenseHID. They sell them for about 25.00 dollars - real legit from Japan. However, I think they make their money off the shipping price but still it comes out to roughly 90 dollars which is awesome and they work great with plug n play.

Heh -- but shipping charges aren't refundable.
