Default New Kit for the Birds

I just finished installing a new conversion kit that allows us to use the 9005/9006 bulb. My car had a kit from Autoptiks (same design as Eurolamps) that was already looking very ruff . Gotta say this is 100% times better in quality and design. This kit allows Firebird owners to upgrade with a better halogen bulb and also allows the installation of an HID setup. These capsules bolt right in just like if you were replacing a blown headlight. You can get these here.....

part numbers are:
low beam 36-0302
high beam 36-0303

Notice they have a DOT stamp

Well since that site isn't working, for me at least, can you tell me 2 things about the kit
1. What all is included, specifically does it have different metal bezels that attach the lenses to the flip up mounts, or do you use the stock bezels to retain the lens in place?
2. Cost w/o shipping?

Its a complete bolt-in kit. You use your stock bezels. The kit includes the lamp housing's, bulbs, and new bolt in harness/pigtail. I believe they're $34.95 per lamp.

Yes it does. It brings everything needed to get your new 9005/9006 lamps working (not bad for $35 a lamp!)
