I kinda agree with some sentiment... $100 ain't a lot of savings on 'em... They are nice to have (luckily they were one of the options my preowned Boxster came with). They're really not that much brighter than the H7 lights. The autolevelling thing is neat, but not necessary.

If you could find a used set on Ebay, or at a dismantler for significantly less, I'd say go for it... otherwise, just stick with your H7 setup.

I HAVE seen decent results with HID kits, but be wary, make sure you can obtain spare parts or extras if you need it, and keep your old bulbs around in case you need to revert back to stock.
