best site/place to buy hids?

looking for a site to buy bi-xenon hids, xenith xenons website sells for $155. anybody else buy them somewhere else for a lower price?

also, please dont come in here and start flaming me about retrofitting, its expensive and highly unaffordable atm. I know that retrofitting is much more efficient and produces less glare so anything you say will not stop me from buying hid kits.

try jlclighting.com they got good selections and quality is top notch. I bought all my interior/exterior lighting from them (they are local to me and help me with installs). you can always do walk-ins. talk to luis or jack and mention henry to get you awesome deal. excellent customer service and all products have warranty.

There's this asian market that sells awesome beef jerky out there. I'm gonna need to stop by there to pick up some next time I go out to the west coast. Hum, maybe stop by LA chinatown too.

I forgot what it's called... it's a HUGE grocery shop with a couple of smaller shops by the walls ("outside" of the roll of cash registers). I keep thinking of "Hawaii"... but it's not.

Nice mentality. It's the exact same entitlement mentality people use to justify stealing flat screen tv's or wheels: "I can't afford it so I'll do something illegal and at someone else's expense because I want it and don't have to follow the same rules everyone else does. So I'm not flaming you for not retrofitting, but for being inconsiderate.

lol hey its not like i didnt look up retrofitting, and research on the DIYs to try and get it cheaper, but not everyone can pay $1000 to be considerate. When i graduate school and get a good job, make money, of course I would retrofit.

I do have trouble seeing at night and would rather have HID headlights. I never said i was going to get 10k super bright bulbs. At this moment, im waiting for someone to manufacture projecter headlights at a lower cost then retrofitting; for the time being, I will get HIDs.

You may not like the mentality of my post, but you must forgive me. It is quite fustrated to research HIDs when every single post is flooded with richer people talking down on others for not retrofitting. I simply want my post to be filled with usefull information, NOT people coming in here to talk sh*t.

I do appreciate you giving me the opportunity to explain my comment in my first post.

Yup 100% That is with 880 pnp kit, and you need to run the wire harness for the lights.(standard aux light harness) The "blazer" is a great projector, they were used stock on C5 vette and a few others... if you are real handy you can retro them into your foglights...
