Personally, at $500 I think its overpriced by 30%-50%. I have put aftermarket xenon on twice on my other cars for ~$150/set. So, will I pay $500 for them on the '09 that I just ordered - ABSOLUTELY. I will not buy another car without them. Yes they are pricey, but still worth it. They turn night into day! And, when properly aligned, they don't blind others like some people complain they do. So, if you want to take the risk of not seeing well at night, go ahead and get the haligons. And if you are paying $250 for mini "color" options and not this, you are misdirected!

 

Basically, if you think you will get them in the future, or think you might regret them, get them! They're not as bad as many make them out to be! A lot of people judge them based on all the vehicles on the road that have aftermarkets on them. Those are horrid to look at, but I've never had a problem with higher-end vehicles with stock Xenons... you can usually tell which those are.

 

Nope - they're not active.
