A good deal onPIAA or Equivilent light kits?

Does anyone know where to get a good deal on some PIAA light kits, or something just as good? I'm trying to get some and have them installed on my wife's S for her birthday!

Dumb question-on these aftermarket lights, can you use the built-in toggle switch, or do you have to mount a switch somewhere else?

Edit:this might come in handy

I assume you are wanting a kit for the R53. If so, I got mine from Tire Rack. The 540 kit, which includes the mounting brackets, runs $255. I got mine installed locally for $125

You have to use a seperate toggle switch (which comes with the above kit) but I am sure if you have an empty space in your toggle bank you could buy a different switch & rig it up there with a bit of extra work

My wife and I will be attending the Minis Meet East at the end of June. Will you be there? If so, would I be able to buy a set of the 540s and have them installed while we're there?

I won't be at that event, as I just returned from the Dragon. One cross country trip pulling a trailer is enough for now. We will be at Mini's in the Mountians though.

IMO, forget about PIAA. They are overpriced compared to the other brands. Check out Hellas ... half the price http://www.rallylights.com/hella/hella.asp

for the PIAA bulbs read http://www.danielsternlighting.com in the myth sections.
