I am not sure where you are sourcing your kits, but I have purchased several of the Xantec kits for $40 on ebay, and if you are buying bulk, you should get a better deal, the resistor to ensure no light out is cheap as well. That is a pretty healthy margain.

I have personally installed 6 kits on other members cars and never charged a dime, as have others that came before me. I am not trying to say the pricing is ridiculous, but seeing as how you have never done this on the XF, I hope you do not loose any of the metal clips in the headlight housing, need help seating a bulb or adjusting them after install....

I will stop bothering your thread, and if anyone needs help installing anything at the Dragon that I am competent to help with, all I ask in return is a drink (or two ).

Not trying to bust your ***** here, Hunt, but this community is pretty tight knit and try to help each other out when we can. I look forward to meeting you at the Dragon and hopefully we can grab a beer....
