How bout dropping HIDs into the low beams of them??

Since HIDs are getting cheaper, wouldnt that solve the lighting problem AND keep the headlights under $500??

No, because bulbs are only 1/2 of the lighting solution. The bulb is the source of light, the projector is what shapes the beam pattern... and those projectors are usually designed for auxilliary lighting or fog lights, not low beams. If you really want to solve the lighting problem, swap out the projector.

On the other hand, a majority of the people could probably just throw Silverstars or an HID conversion kit in it and say, "that looks good to me".
