Unless you can get a hefty price for those valve stem caps at Doc Holliday's, I doubt you can afford to buy real HID's. Them ******* is expensive. Last time I priced them I could have the pleasure of paying $600, and get to rewire the entire system and have to figure out a way to mount it inside the popup.

Let me know which "Junkyard" you find that will sell them to you. There aren't any junkyards in Austin that even buy BMWs from the same decade as the HID BMWs. And, for the kicker, the used parts places that sell the **** don't knock off much compared to new.
