Fast firing ballasts, better voltage control ballast, and the bulbs I'm assuming are high end Osram, which well worth the money, better cleaner light output (more lumens)

Without a doubt. Those ppl who actually want to drop 6-7-800 are the type of ppl who love quality. Like an old saying. You get what you pay for.

And yes oshram bulbs. CobaltSS_16 or something like that. I know his name is Sandro. But I gave him my oshram bulbs for free. The denso ballasts are on my buddies car. Hence the 5 Benjamin's. I'm driving around with stock headlights for now. Building another set. Of course I'm going back to denso ballasts and oshram night breakers. Who we kidding here lol.

Yup. 200$ for the ballasts. 200$ for bulbs. Prolly lil less. Performance wise. Blows morimoto out the water. Many can agree.
