dude you have been around long enough to know better then to go by dealer prices. $800 dealer price = $125 DIY price. and $800 for two light bulbs? where did you even hear that?
HID lights work like this

bulb <---- ignitor <---- ballast <---- power from the car
some systems have the ignitor and ballast built into one box. the ignitor throws the ~35000 volts it takes to fire the lights up initially. after that the ballast supplies the 400-800 volts to keep the lights on.
