I agree. The ones from eBay are better. I started off with vleds and they were too blue.

Funny that this thread was at the top, I just noticed that one of my warden bulbs has 3 of the 5 clusters not working properly after 1 summer. Not sure how long it had been like that, just noticed as I was putting the car away for winter.

There are several CL vendors that can sell you an HID kit to fit your lights, I'd suggest checking the Vendor Marketplace and Lighting forum, and searching here for discussion and suggestions on HID kits and bulbs. If you're still not sure, post a new thread asking for help, you'll have much better luck doing that than asking in this thread.
