By far the cheapest way would be to purchase the European Asymmetrical
pre-focused Low beam halogen H1 projectors left after converting my
Euros to the Xe. The Lows is what really matters in the headlight, coz
you use them 99% of the time. These H1 are light years above (pun
intended) the pathetic dim DOT-spec 9006 (or is it 9005 - I forget). I
want $150 for both, plus shipping.

If you throw in the Euro lenses sourced from PUMA, you will end up with
99% of the Halogen Euro light conversion for ~50% of their price.
