Those are the Sonar projector headlights everyone uses for HIDs.
I have them with a set of 55W HIDs and they work great. Some people have them work great right out of the box, but I did need to open mine up.
The high and low beams weren't lined up with each other and there wasn't enough adjustment to get the driver's side to line up right. A little cooking, some shims, and resealing, they work like a dream.
I think they are the best of the aftermarket headlights out there for the xB. Not sure on the fogs though...

The sonars and fogs are $178 after shipping... step back for a second.
You can get sonars for $68 after shipping and a set of fogs for $60-70 after shipping. Worst case scenario is $50 less than what they are asking for.
I purchased my fogs from the dealer for $82.33 after taxes. That's still less than what that ebay item is combined. I'd say move on and shop a little smarter.

The headlights are great... the fogs are OEM Style and the output isn't really all that great (less than the OEM ones which aren't spectacular to begin with)
You're only saving $1 by doing that combo as opposed to separate transactions with the items below (same as offered in the bundle)

thanks for your input to everyone...
I was a bit worried the fogs wouldnt be that bright..but are they effective in the fog?
anyway..it looks like I will have these on order soon..I like the look of them
and really the only bad things I've read/heard so far was about fogging in the lenses in some models

I've had 2 sets od sonar headlights and both had fogging issues with them.
The stock fogs don't give out a ton of light, but they are not suppose to. They work really good when it is foggy out though.
