Post Opinion: JDM HID kits on eBay

I saw this vendor who sells these HID kits made by Acumen. Any comments or feedback on this? It seems like a very good deal, and it looks like these are made in/ship from Japan.

Ya, but when the bulb is installed the light will reflect more, I think they just have that shown as test, and not in a car, it seems to high to be in a car.
