or

Regular HID's

You should get the halo ring projectors. If you put HIDs in regular reflective housing for halogens it will cause scatter, potentially blinding oncoming traffic. Projectors look better, and they give you a clean cutoff.

You can get HIDs for much cheaper than $200. And I don't believe the projectors with HIDs would be as much as a $1000, but they are still quite an investment. It's really up to you though.

I've wanted those ever since I first saw them, do you know how the colored LED's are controlled (turned on/off)? Is it through a switch or what? Cause I'd like to get a switch to control them, like how the fog lights are turned on/off if at all possible.

Order the TaoBao projectors and HIDs.  And if you want, black them out and make them all fancy.

1. You're spending a little much on HIDs
2. Install everything yourself and save some money.
3. taobao and taobaofocus can get you some sweet projector headlights from china that fit perfectly.

I got my HIDs for less than $50... I put them on myself. If plug and play man. You're getting ripped. Also the relay harness is for those with Day Running Lights(DRL) which in our case, is the same as our regular headlights but its dimmer when they're not turned on. Now since its dimmer, when you have HIDs, the ballast doesn't get enough power, making them flicker/fail unless you turn your lights on EVERY time you get in the car. And believe me, that can get more expensive(Im on my third set of bulbs, finally decided to get one). Im pretty sure that 2011's don't have DRLs though. I could be wrong. Probably am.
