Are you referring to the bulbs or the whole assembly?

I bought the 02/03 HID headlights from Performance_Depot on eBay. They are $598 (complete headlights, with bulbs and ballasts) plus shipping and insurance. The HID's from the dealer are $1400.
The ones I got are awesome, fit perfectly, look exactly like OEM HID's (at a fraction of the price), and have great light output!! You'll need the HID wiring harness from Courtesy Nissan for $35, and two lower 02/03 headlight clips from your local Nissan stealership, and you're good to go.
So, it is up to you, $1400 for OEM HID's, or $598 for aftermarket exact replica HID's. I didn't want to pay $1400 for headlights, so I went with Performance_Depot, and I'm glad I did!!

I don't see why you guys would trust a third-party aftermarket product when you could get a pair of brand new genuine Nissan OEM product for the same price. The generic copy is around $610 shipped. I've got 2 real sets for sale. The mint used set is $600 shipped, and the brand new one is only $700 shipped (although I know most places charge $1000+). I dunno...just doesn't make sense to me?

Here's the link btw, so you can see what I'm talking about:
