why are the hid kits so expensive?

Turbo, I think its awesome you are making your own kit and I even considered buying the extra you made for a future second FD but you're forgetting something in your cost estimation. When I bought my SBG kit, I bough plug and play installation, labor that I can trust and someone accountable that I can yell at if something goes wrong. If my kit ends up being defective, I can count on someone from SBG to help me. I'm not trying to put you down man. I'm glad you're out there making stuff but the premium that I paid for the SBG kit was well worth it to me.

If you ever decide to start building kits, I'd definitely consider buying them if they were cheap enough but I can tell you that I definitely don't think the money that I paid for the SBG kit went to waste at all. Even more so because I only have a small inkling about what you guys are talking about.

Also about the price and availibility, theorie mentioned bulk. I congratulate you on finding a good price on yours though.
