Hid's from the Retrofit Source are second to none, they produce a quality product and back it up (warranty). I have an HID kit from them I placed into NEW stock housings. Yes it can be done, two things are relevant, one is the filament on the HID lamp is positioned differently into the housing and if you measure the stock placement and subsequently mimic that with the HID's, the light thrown from the housing will be just the same, but more intense. Now, we all know the stock housings sux, so that is why many opt for the projectors as the projectors will put more light on the road where you need it.

Anyways, there was a write up on fixing the placement of the hid lamps correctly into the housing with stock headlights, search... If you can't find it let me know, I think I have some screen captures of it. And even then, I have my stock lights aimed a little lower than usual and I never get flashed... But they are bright, lol

that said... $280 is a steal, something I may consider for my GTP ; )

I dont disagree with you but if theres a 50$ option that is comparable i may go with that. Whats your opinion on the difference between the cheap vs more expensive hids mentioned here

Dumb question but was anything covered by warranty ddm wise?

Do some searches on DDM warranty problems.
If TRS ballasts poop.....you cut the cord and email the pic.....they send a new one......too easy.
Hell get a DDM set for fifty....I did...they made it a year....then bugged out

Ran ddm in my Impala for 6 years, never an issue and put 100k on the car before I sold it 215k, btw where are you guys seeing 150$ for full retrofit from TRS. Cheapest I see is 270$! 99GTP!

What about these? Anyone have experience with them?

All of the headlight assemblies rockauto sells are knockoffs of what I already have (original equipment). How does that help?

Um, that was my question in the post. Regardless, I'm interested in a better lighting package that will not blind oncoming drivers.
