Default $250 worth it for new HID xB lights

i was wondering if you guys think this is worth it to buy these HID headlights for $250 shipped, or if i should go for the same lights, but without HID for $115 shipped?

With HID

hmmm..or you can get the headlights and then order an HID kit from operatic for 130-140. it will come with a one year warranty, and you can pick the color temperature of your bulbs.

Don't bother. Buy a good HID kit from Operatic and be done with it.

nevermind, i found it. The thing is, he sells the HID conversion kit for 130, plus i would have to spend 115 on the lights. That ends up at 245. So my question is, is his kit much better than the pre-installed kit on the ebay listing, which would come to 250 and save me the hassle of installing the kit?

Yes. His kit is better than the one that comes with the lights.

It's not preinstalled, it's a separate kit. You're still gonna need to install the HID kit. Operatic's kit comes with a separate harness which is a must.
