Default Found these on ebay

Since I am total noob when it comes to HID and xenon headlights I need some input on these bulbs I found. Are they worth it?

They're worth it if you're willing to pay $10 (with shipping) for a pair of regular halogen bulbs, which are already in your car. They're not even coated any sort of blue/green/purple color so I don't see how you would get the 5000K hyperwhite "effect" from them as they claim.

don't waste your money on those bulbs. save for a bit and pick up a genuine HID kit that comes with ballasts, bulbs, a wire harness, etc...

definitely worth the dough...

50 watt HID in the low beams, 35 watt HID in the fogs...

Hey cliffud. You said you're running 50w ballasts in the low beams? Did you modify a set of OEM ballsts to put out more light or do you have a pair of ballasts specifically made to output at 50w? I've seen some of those 50W HID kit's on ebay, but I don't know if they're legit or not.
