Serious
The Spyder/eBay/tacomabeast/carid are all the same pieces of crap. They have optics WORSE than stock, the clear coat peels from the INSIDE within about a year, they leak when it rains so they fog up.
OEM are they best unless you want to bake other lights in the oven, take em apart, install QUALITY projectors like fxr type (infiniti based). I think morimoto h1 is a decent projector too, but far below an fxr. Then u can try hids without blinding everyone else. Keep in mind the lenses will still peel from the inside on most aftermarket housings.

Morimoto H-Series H1 HID Bulbs 5500K - Universal. Is this the one you're talking about?

I see their new site makes things confusing.
I was referring to building your own lights

Not dropping hids into stock, unaltered housings
