omfg dude... how much more do I have to explain it.

Headlights in a car are not one big thing called a "headlight." A Headlight in a car is (simplified way down):

A Housing
A Bulb

The bulb goes in the housing.

Of course, there are multiple bulbs, and the housing has a front cover/lens, etc, etc.

One of those ebay links only comes with the housing... IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BULBS.. you know, the things that make light. The other one, the more expensive one, comes with the housing and the bulbs.

The inner moulding of the housing and bulbs for the 06 are completely different from earlier models. The housing's outer shell shape is the same, so it is a direct fit into earlier models.

From what I've read on other threads, it is also plug & play (which means you can just plug it in and it works, no need to convert plugs, wires, whatever). Other people say they don't understand how this could be, but other's say they have done it fine.

so then why is the price range so drastic? they are charging an extra $600 if you were to get the whole package, and the only thing that is missing is the bulbs. i think thats a lil too much just for bulbs

$290/bulb is not unbelieveable considering you are getting them from the dealer (note on the auction it says he gets these from a dealer).

These aren't $5 bulbs you go buy at Advanced Autoparts or Western Auto... these are projector bulbs. I'd assume you're getting the low and high beams for each side too...

Buy them here for $135.00 a piece (.Philips Ultinon 6,000K Bulbs). You'll need the D2S type for the projectors. I bought the D2R back in August during the group buys for $210.00 shipped.
