It's stuff like this that makes me realize how bad things really are getting in the 5th gen world. You always hear guys complain about it, but some of the recent 'mods' and cars posted by more and more members, coupled with some of this ricey stuff, is just getting to an unbearable level.

And it's happening more and more, and it seems to be 'more acceptable' again to rice your car out.

Instead of that much money on headlights and cosmetics, maybe I'll work on electrical mods(need a cap or might run a 2nd battery for my system) or get a CAI or catback
Not to ruin your party here, but 8000K or 10000K is just not functional in term of being able to see at night. I'm not going to debate putting pnp kit on stock reflector housing here, but when you do go with quality kit at least.

The least ghetto way to do it is not cheap or easy. To get the best look I'd recommend the Umnitza kit. You have to bake your headlights to open them and install the kit. Some basic wiring is also involved. Definitely not for the feint of heart. Stay away from aftermarket headlights. The factory headlights are far superior to anything else out there.
