Xenon HID projector headlights on Ebay

I just recently bought a 2006 MCS with the projector lights. As one of the first mods, I am looking at getting a set of Xenon HID projector headlights as seen on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XENON...spagenameZWDVW

OK I've done some searches and seen a few comments about concerns with fitment, but I dont see a response from the person who purchased/installed these kits.

Questions are as follows:

How well do these kits fit, are there gaps from the fixture not being same size as OEM setup?
How much more light output is there and can you compare to OEM Xenon lights?
Ease of installation?
How do these work? do you get the "halo" as your day time running lights and when you turn on lights @ night, you get the XENON lights? what about high beams? do you lose high beams or do these setups have a Halogen high beam?

Would you recommend these (ebay set) or am I better off simply getting a set of 06 Xenons (which I beleive may or may not be as simple as plug and play). With all the forums I've read, I'm more confused than ever?

I'm looking for a set up that increases light visibility without compromising reliability and fit. If these ebay kits are any good, then thats a bonus as they look pretty sweet and seem to be cheaper than the Mini OEM xenon set up.

I too am considering the hid ebay blacked out headlights. Much cheaper than finding 05-06 xenons and joey-modding them, in my opinion.
