those aren't acctual HID lights. They are just basically colored bulbs. A true HID kit comes with new bulbs and a transformer for each bulb because the power needs of an hid are much higher.

Those are just colored bulbs that wont do you any good.

A real HID kit comes with bulbs, Ballasts and wiring harnesses.

Expect to pay anywhere from $125 for a MyDepots HID kit or $280 for a SharpHID kit. I have the SharpHID kit and man do I love it. It is worth the $280 because the kit I got comes with a LIFETIME warranty. The MyDepots kits come with a 14 month warranty. Plus if your a Volvospeed member which isn't hard to become because it is free you can knock $20 off the SharpHID kit and pay through PayPal and pay $260 shipped. Well worth it.
