SPAM.  Also TRASH, as it's not a true HID kit; they cost more
like $500.

Spam it may be but these _are_ proper HID lamps & ballasts. For the money,
they are pretty good value even if they are not up to the performance of the
Philips/Osram/Hella/Bosch systems.
The biggest downer in Europe is that all of these retrofit kits are illegal
unless the headlamps ar fitted with automatic self-levelling systems. That
would be the cost-prohibitive part of the picture.
The Chinese lamp/control gear manufacturers have indeed come on in leaps and
bounds in the last 2yrs. .

Not so. I bought an HID set to fit E36 aftermarket angel eye units two
years ago for just over 100 gbp and they've come down in price since. Of
course not all lamp units will accept the HID bulbs which are longer than
tungsten. In my case, however, the conversion is very successful and
passes the UK MOT.

So, the kit also contains the self-leveling and washing systems required
by the EU regulations?  And the projector lens - which requires a
different housing?  All for $31?  Methinks not.

Oue Euro E36s are already equipped with projector optics. Many people
retrofit HID into these without self levelling systems but simply swap back
to halogens for our annual MOT test.
I did this with my own E36 but I modified the existing lamp mounting and
reflectors to take the Osram D2R lamps.

Never said that. Regs for HID lamps will vary from country to country. But
the vehicle I fitted them to had already got self levelling and headlamp
washers which seemed to satisfy the MOT people. In my case the projector
housing took the HID lamp ok and produces a good beam pattern. Checked at
the MOT.
