Changing Halogens to HID Conversion Kit
A HID kit is a HID kit. Your friend is getting ripped off and so is everyone he's getting those kits for.
Then again, it's not my money so if he wants to pay the price for two HID kits and only receive one, that his choice.

I just ordered a set of the bi-xenon kits for both my Rover and my Dodge from the same place Street Wolf got his. For both kits and shipping I paid $225 total. I didn't think that was too bad for 2 kits that are hi and low beam xenon. I'll let everyone know how they work when I get them installed.
Seems to me with the popularity of this style light that the DOT and manufacturers would work together to make them legal on the street. I know my dad has been running aftermarket Xenon lights for a few years in his Mercedes R-class and has never had any problems with the cops. (Dad''s R-class has halogen hi-beams that work well but I prefer Xenon hi-beams like Mom's E-class Mercedes has from the factory.)

I plan to adjust my headlights down a slight bit to eliminate as much of the blinding oncoming traffic as possible. I plan to get pictures of my current lights and then after I install the HID kit. I hope they will come out well enough to be able to see the difference.
No matter how much light I have it never seems to be enough for me. I want daylight in front of me no matter what time of day.

The guy I got my HID's from has a free warranty replacement if his bulbs burn out and he replaces in sets of two to maintain the light balance.
