My Ride: 2005 BMW 545i
HID stuff I would be wary of those being sold on ebay and craigslist unless they're proven. LED lights and those types are different though. I bought mine for my Honda off of ebay and they are way brighter than the LEDs in my BMW. Not to mention they were $20 cheaper ($3 vs $23) and have been working like a charm for almost a year.
Go to brabus, usually items cost more than others for a reason (quality, build, etc.). Also, glad to hear you have stock xenons. I HATE it when people put HID bulbs in stock halogen lamp housings. They blind the crap out of me all the time.

I say get these instead I have them and they work great no issues, plus this vendor is good to deal with and has lifetime warranty.

The $30 raptor kit is similar to the one you showed from ebay and then you will have to get the $20 code cancellors. I have been using this kit for 2 years now with no issues, also I have purchased the slim ballast kit which is much nicer in terms of the ballast.
If you are just looking for bulbs, khoalty has good bulbs for cheap, these are what I have been using for little over a year now with no issues. I've also installed them on a few freinds cars too.

$25/pair D2S can't go wrong, $85 if you need D1S

Either get them from Brabus, or contact that one guy who was at the SoFla meet the last time, he installed new HID's into the fogs and headlights for, I think his member name is, chosenone357. That guy's member name is calle something...

Hey if youa re still trying to get cheap bulbs, send Khoalty an email. I've personally bought 5-6 sets (for different friends) of HID's from him now with no issues with any of them and he offers warranty so if they don't work you can send them back.
