Stock retrofit HID headlight options

I'm looking to replace my stock headlights with an HID setup. I'm pretty set on the Sakebomb headlights https://www.rx7club.com/vendor-classifieds-276/gb-bi-xenon-hid-projector-sakebomb-garage-867943/ but I would like to see other options before I commit. I have seen the wisesport headlight setup but it is way too expensive for me. Are there any other options? Pics would be appreciated.

get some TL or s2k projector and retro fit it yourself. You'll save a **** load of money and the beam will be crazy wide and far. Upgrade to a 55watts ballasts for extra kicks. The projectors go for 100 bucks or so nowadays. If you dont' now how to retrofit or don't want to try it, then go with that kit.

Yeah I seriously considered doing it myself but I figured by the time I made brackets and housings and did whatever modifications needed to be done I'd easily exceed the $750 group buy price and probably end up with a product that didn't work as well. So I'm mainly interested in pre-built, "tried and true" products.

You did commit! #3 on the list. . .and I think a wise choice from all the alternatives I've seen over the years.
