I got them from ebay actually.
There are some downsides to them however.
1. You will not have ANY high beams. Click high beams and all lights will shut off. There are some h13 HID kits that have high beams but I have heard that they suck and the high beam relays mess everything up.
2. From what I was told the factory plugs for the h13 lights are not available aftermarket so none of the kits come with a plug on the ignitor end of the HID, this means you have to splice into the existing wiring going to the factory plug, makes it harder to swap the original lights back in come inspection time and will also void the warrenty should anything need to be replaced in the headlight wiring,housing...etc.
3. The guy I got the kit from said that many h13 have had problems fitting and most needed to be sanded down.....if your not steady handed and don't have a dremel...be ready for one hell of a hard time.
other than that I am happy with em, but I get flashed high beams from people all the time...I get pissed and flash them the highs back, only to have all my lights shut off cause I have no high beams
Might be time to re-aim the headlights, 2" t-bar lift and 35's may have raised teh lights a tad bit too much

the bulbs,transformer and igniter was $140. Only problem I had was that the bulb was an h13 but wouldn't fit in the socket of the headlamp. I had to take a dremel and grind the plastic base of the light where it goes into the headlamp socket. 20 minute install ended up taking over 2 hours because of this, the notches matched the keyway in the headlamp housing but the outside diameter of the bulb base where the tabs are was just too damn big.... I should of sent them back but I am very impatiant

I didn't alter the headlight housing, I sanded down the base of the HID bulb itself. I don't need to get it inspected until the year after my lease is up, if I still have it when that time comes it will take me all of 5 minutes to pop the stock bulbs in.
