As someone who has a group buy going on right now, I can definitely say that labor is EASILY underestimated when thinking about producing a product. Sure, making one set for yourself or your friend is easy enough, but try making 10, 20, 30 or more sets of anything. Then we can talk about the fair price of labor.

The SakeBomb Garage HID Projector kit is the new benchmark. If you want to DIY, go for it, but if you want a plug-n-play kit, that you know is going to be quality, get the SBG kit - it's worth every penny.

I bought my sonar housings for 77 shipped maybe thats why sbg kit is more expensive i will have to look into that.
