i bought the same thing off ebay. You can however get a set from canadian tire for the same price, about $100CAN. I am more happy with my ones imprted. There will be about 14$CAN customs and you can get them for about $50US.

They don't have the same glass look, it just looks like a regular bulb when the light is off, but a Autozone had some HID lights for my RX-7...I was ordering some of those lights and during check out saw shipping was $17, so I decided not to.

You just buy them, take them out of the box, and plug them in.
