Thanks again,

Whao! Don't spend $1k on halogens,get a set of used Litronics for $800-$1.1k.

My headlights had 30k on them according to the last owner and they still look brand new. No need to pay 2x the $$$ to say they are new.

Agreed, if you're going to drop that kind of coin just get the xenons.

Agreed. If you're prepared to spend $1K, go with buying a used set of Litronics/Xenons. I know someone who took his time buying them one side at a time off ebay, and ended up spending $700 for the whole set. They're very coolio...
