Well, you can try... but remember, you're basically using fog lights as your headlights... not good at all, as you won't get much light. I agree, they look nice, but at what cost are you willing to let looks be the determining factor. The angel eyes/halo's wont last. How long the other lights lasts... sometimes they last an extremely long time, other times I've heard of them lasting only a few months. The bulbs that is. Plus, leaking is an issue.

I'd highly suggest saving up that $$ and, if you want to upgrade the headlights, do a retrofit job when you get $500-$600. It'll look great, it'll light up the road, and it will last a long time.

You can DIY, but if you're like me, I'd be worried I'd break somethin before getting it in, or doing something wrong.

Install the actual headlights into the car is DIY no problem (remove bumper and grill... take headlight out, put new one in, put grill and bumper back in...) The retrofit job is the harder part.

Yes, I know how the $$ issue is... I'm currently saving up enough $$ to do a retrofit from these guys too. But trust me... if you do this in the end, you'll be SO much happier than doing an ebay projector. Hey, who else in your area has TSX projectors and custom shrouds... TRUE HID (not the blue bulbs or crappy HID kits - which, I might add, cost just as much or more than this retro job)

$550 includes projectors, custom shrouds, color mod (improves color and brightness) and labor - the only other cost is shipping and handling, the ballast, and the bulbs, which you might be able to get as a package through them. Installing the headlights is no problem. Expect, say, 1-2 hrs if you've never removed bumper and grill and headlight before... $780 includes ballasts and bulbs. The ballast essentially changes it to HID - without the ballast, no HID, which, if you're gonna go for a nice retrofit job, you would definately want. You can also price out ballasts at ebaymotors.com or hidplanet.com

TSX are among the best projectors you can get. There are others that are more expensive, but that's solely because (a) they're bixenon (highbeam and lowbeam, not just lowbeam) or (b) because they're in higher demand and considered "better", but those ones are basically not worth the $200+ premium over TSX. TSX projectors are actually better than that seen on Audi, BMW, and most other brands - they're brighter and more colorful, while also having a compact size.
