Been here awhile...
Looking at the bright side, at least 99% of people with the factory HID's will never have to change the bulbs. They last forever, but most 1st owners at very least will never change the bulbs.
And those that do usually laugh at you like you're retarded when you tell them how much the equipment is to replace. I used to work in a repair shop and a lady brought in an IS300 with one dead headlight. She laughed and "called me out" for trying to scam women. I sent her off to Advance Auto to get prices on a bulb and ballasts. I would have paid to have seen her face.

Kits on the other hand have MUCH MUCH MUCH shorter lifespans than OE-grade equipment. People do go the kit route usually have to replace them several times during their ownership of the car.
OP, I still recommend removing those HIDs for the foglights for the reasons already explained.
