Hell, just the plain diamond clear lights can be found all over the place for way less than $300. http://www.sporttruckdirect.com/Head...sion_Kits.html has the TYC diamond headlights for $150.

I love the projectors with the HID set in them , sure the first 30 - 50 meters you get a brilliant light and view ;
and when used with a conversion kit so when used the high beam the projectors still are on : it gives a view that brings light everywhere

Condensation : i never did got any problems with that .

Sorry for my limited explaination - english , i am from Belgium - Europe ...
