Saw these on ebay, as a general rule I don't buy cheap crap off of ebay, but I thought these looked kind of cool.
Here is the ebay listing with a description: ebay listing
Anyone bought these or seen them installed?

-I had the Silverstars bright whites I thought they were a good buy.
-PIAA's are good too alittle more money. -Those H.I.D fakes look ok when the lights are off and you shine light on them they look blue and as if they are on looks cool I supose. When you first turn them on they have a blue look then once they warm up they go alittle whiter. Rating H.I.D fakes 5. Nothing beates the real H.I.D's So it depends on what price range you are looking to spend for bulbs. -Fake H.I.D's $10.00 -silverstars $25.00 -PIAA's $60.00+
E.O Masiv!
New look for the summer SVT ZX5 Focus Build#56 01/29/2003 I think there is something wrong with my car, every time I shift I hear Psssst noise? Looking to get 25-30psi with a Procharger ![[Image: style7,TikEtZ.png]](http://www.sloganizer.net/en/style7,TikEtZ.png)

It didn't matter what sort of bulb I got, all those "brighter" bulbs never lasted long once cold weather set in... I had PIAA's flake on me after 2 months. I just went back to stock bulbs until I got my HELLA projectors and i've used the bulbs that came with them for 3 years now.

Good rule of thumb: anything advertised as "EURO" or with a "Z" in it like "deZign" is going to last as long as darpuppet in the sack with the Swedish Bikini Team.

Can anyone find a wattage number in that ebay auction? I cant. They make a big deal about saying how they're DOT approved, but that doesnt mean they are higher-than-stock wattage and will melt your wiring harnesses/headlight housings.
It's probably safe to say you really get what you pay for when you get the cheap aftermarket bulbs.. |
