As mentioned, I got a set of Phillips Gen. 7's from Sirius led @$109.99 and no freight. Shipping time was 2 days from Frisco to SLC.
Very nicely made, impressive quality. the little 'boxes' that connect them up and run them were about 1/2 the size of a deck of cards, the heat sinks used a bit of Teflon on the threads where they screw on. Incidentally, to make them fit in the housing buckets, you have to reverse and flip over and have the small end of the heat sinks stick OUT to get them to fit in the housings. After reversing them, the fit just fine.
The instructions are not the best however, You can rotate the bulbs in the housings via a set screw, and you want to set them up like the 9004 bulbs were with the shield covering the bulb so light is blocked down. there are 2 little tabs covering the front led's and those need to be rotated to be on top to make the outer 2 led's shielded down. The instructions show how to loosen the set screws, and the range, but not where to set them. Again, set them so they are covered and shielded in the down position.
Now for the good part. These make the best quality light and pattern I have ever seen. Lows are incredible in coverage, but NO ONE blinked me down. When you turn on the highs, it just adds to the lows as they are not turned off. Simply the best lights I've seen, and for the price of $109.99.
So other than the instructions, well worth the money. They are guaranteed for 1 year, 30 day money back, and have a life of 30,000 hours.
The only other thing I'd recommend is to tape a good, heavy bath towel underneath the headlight buckets on the fenders, that way you won't get any scratches from the capsules being changed over.
So, I love 'em and will probably put in some fogs as a project down the road.
