Ebay vs. Xenon Depot for D4s HID bulb
Has anyone bought these D4S bulbs on ebay? If so, how do you like them and how's the quality?? These bulbs will be around $100 while the xenon depot will come out to $160 with shipping and everything. It's really hard to trust ebay nowadays so I was just curious if saving $60 is worth it. anyway, here's the link for ebay. Any input would be great. Thanks.

i would rather spend $160 for the real than risk losing 90 and then spending 160 for the real deal.
xenonvalot.com i think is a little bit cheaper but 6000k
i have 3 pairs of those just incase the others blow out

IMO, you get what you pay for. If you do a lot of night time driving (more usage) then the warranty is worth the cost to pay for more.
Me, I don't drive at night a lot so my HIDs are not on all the time. For example, my brother has aftermarket bulbs in his car and they last for 1yr+ and he drives a lot. Eventually one burned out and then the other, but he sure did use the heck out of them so I dont feel so bad.
I'm not too crazy about changing out the stock bulbs as I've done it with my last car. I rather see better then lose out on visible lighting. Plus I have 3000k fogs, so I'm set.
