I prefer if the client sends me a set of headlights complete. I will rewire a OEM set of Xenon lights internally to work with the halogen wiring harness.

It depends. Lights can be had for $200 - $1500. It depends on how long you are willing to wait, how hard you search, and what condition of light you are willing to settle on. I have bought three sets of lights and I have not paid more than $500 for them. The first and the last set I purchased were no more than $500 complete (Xenon headlights, bulbs, ballast, and ignitors). The last set, however, were less than average. I am frequently on the look out for deals. Ballast and Igniters can be had for $250-$350, and I usually pay no more than $30 for the bulbs. So in summary, I think an average cost is $850-$1050 including my labor and shipping.
My charge is $200 and that covers the labor and all the parts to complete the job. You pay for shipping both ways.
