Those lights require a ballast. I didn't see it in the pics. They normally run $900 or better. The best I could tell was that they were only selling the bulbs. Cindy want to take a shot? Cindy replaced her lights with HID.

Those are replacement bulbs that give the "look" of HID's (still not exat but pretty close) I used to run bulbs similar to those inthe truck before it went and started blowing bulbs left and right

I'm running a similar bulb and that is a good price though! I paid $30 for mine in New Albany.

James bought me a kit on ebay that upgraded to actual HID's (lights, ballasts, etc.) I had high beam super whites in the car and these make them look dim. We have a picture after installing just one, I'll get it posted. The HID kit for the Lincoln was $650, that included to new headlight housings. The kit for the Contour was under $400. It is a pricey thing, but it does improve visibility and give a custom look.
