You can shop ebay for a while and find a pair/set for OEM. Worth the money, keep in mind the OEM HID's are also auto leveling and auto cornering. New style 2012+ on 1st link is $300 for one side. 2nd link is for 2009-11 and is $200/side

(Different headlights for 2009-2011 vs. 2012+) Not sure what year your car is. You should include this info in your signature.

I hear ya. Good luck on whatever you decide. Looks like there are a couple of headlights on Ebay under $100 each. That's freakin' cheap. My one headlight replaced on my car was $1,000 due to an accident.

EDIT - $75 OEM HID 1 side.

Maybe obvious, but, have you checked your tire pressure? That does not happen during the day and only at night with the lights on, could point to tire pressure. Just a thought.

I experimented with this. I put the hids in the tpms light comes on about 15 to 20 mins I took them out drove 30mins no problems.

Ebay has some good deals on smaller things, but finding a matched set of 2012 headlights was kinda of a pain and even if I got them I wonder how bad the wiring would be.

 

[1FstYota]

About 30 to 35ft on this one

About 25ish

...and risking my life at 25mph

Def no where near as clean as real HID projector setup. But while driving it does work better than halogen any day.

Now lets see the OEM HID genny pics.

Darn it!

OEM HID's




This was my custom Lexus RX330 set up back in the day:

 

[1FstYota]

What car was the custom setup on?

I didnt read through the whole pissing match about HID's and projectors but the TPMS light is coming on because of your ballast. Same thing happened to me and bunch of other people. Buy copper foil tape from E-bay, wrap the ballast in the tape with a grounding wire in between tape and ballast. Ground to the body. TPMS Light should go away.

If this is already in the thread somewhere I apologize.
