Yes they look very nice but you right,,price is huge. I had for a while in my mind to open my head lights and put Led strips inside them. And will be done for £ 20. 
of course without angel eyes.

Actually thats not not a bad price for a light that includes Hella HID's.
If you were going to buy a good quality conversion with the correct projector units for your standard lights then you're going to be getting into the near side of $700. Then there's the dismantling of your headlamps and fitting of the projector units all that entails.
I made the mistake of buying a cheaper set and they have been nothing but a pain. The HID's that came installed had issue after issue until I give up and bought another set off ebay, which turned out to be a mistake because they were just as bad. So I coughed up the extra for a good quality set from Osram, genuine not ebay knock-offs and they don't fit the enclosure. Too long, so then went with normal Halogen bulbs, Philips. These should be great but projectors are not designed for normal bulb light patters so light output is so bad that I've had to fit the stock lights for over the winter months as I simply cannot see without the brights on!
So now my only option is to purchase a quality set of projectors which by the time I've done this will put me at around $750. So I'm not even prepared to do that at this point. I'll run the stock units for ther winter then go back to the after-markets during the summer months!
However, before I'd ever go down that rout again I'd also check local lighting regs. A friends kid in Virginia got a set for his VW at Christmas and he's now converting back because he's had 3 tickets already!
