Last time I check with the parts department it was over $500 per unit....not per set/pair.

$525 for the set? Wonder if the 05 to 07s can upgrade to the factory HIDs? May require a ballast replacement. I heard there were some melting issues with the aftermarket HIDs...

Cost of HID-Cost of stock headlights=$525
That's why the cloth top option, for example, is only 200 bucks.

Upgrades on a new car are always cheaper than the same parts purchased over a parts counter. You're essentially getting a credit for the stock parts that won't be on the car, and paying the difference between those parts and the upgrade part.
