They're on Ebay all day long for like $300, I got mine luckily for something like $200, actually it's a long story, but that was the bottom line.

Later,

as far as looks go, it also depends, do you want that super white color, that bluish white color, or the chameleon type lights (y'know they change color depending on where you're viewing them from (they're stock on a lexus but i forget which one)). i personally like the super white ones. the bulbs run you about $80. the bluish one's are nice too, and a lot cheaper at $24. i don't know how much the chameleon one's are, but i don't necessarily like them.

WHAT?#!$%???

We're talking about HIDs, not replacement bulbs.....

And actually the bulbs you're reffering to on the lexus is not a colored bulb, it's the way, the light reflects off a glass projector, the same goes with many audis.

Later.....

Personally I like the pure whites...no blue or purple stuff...if you want longivity and performance on those lights, 4300k is the best but are rare to find. So the next bet step is 5200k.
Question, what is better for the JDM headlights, sockets 9005 or 9006? Currently, I'm using the 9006 socket.

The sockets are the same, the bulbs are almost virtualy the same as well, the 9005 bulbs are a tad bit brighter due to the lack of coating on the tip of the bulb, other than that, the bulbs are almost identical, the 9005 can actually with very minor cutting with some like tin snips can be made to an almost perfect fit to the 9006 housing. The reason why the 9005 seem so much brighter then the 9006 is becuase in the stock Integras, the headlight housing is angled such that it provides a beam that projects at a higher level, that's how they got the name high beam. But as far as the bulb it self, and teh sockets that connect them, they are almost identical.

Yeah... Trevor's kits rock. 4300K is the only way to go. I have them on my R and it is fantastic. Search H/T and you will find tons of pics. I got them 425 shipped as well.

I mounted one where the Cruise control would be (This requires the removal of a small bracket). I mounted the other on the front side of the ABS pump.
