Default are those ebay replacement HID bulbs reliable?

I've seen some bulbs that are as low as $45 (price+shipping) for a pair of replacement HID bulbs. They are either from unknown origin or asia. The feedback is usually good, but I know it can be useless since it's only a feedback after a couple of days the customer receives the item. Some, however, are second or third time buyers and they left good comments. On certain items, they give 1 to 1 1/2 year warranty. Do you think they are worth buying? Thank you for your helpful answers!

well consider you get them and a buld is either damaged or the wrong size. your gonna have to wait and go through hastel. best thing buy them but look for places that have plug and play systems. their easier and fit without cutting any wires. you also got somewhere to go if they burn out or break. i would say forget e bay and just buy some from an auto place around your area.

HID bulbs are not cheap you are best off going to the parts store and buying them. you might be getting the cheap stuff and paying top dollar for them and they wouldnt last long .you need to get a quality bulb that can last you a long time .

You must be talking about the fake HIDs.. I was actually looking to replace my bulbs and they run for $120+ a piece.I used to use the fake HID bulbs.. But I kept having to replace them ever-so-often that I decided to get an actual HID kit. You're better off buying a complete HID kit. They last a lot longer and look wayyy better. I have an RSX and here are some pictures:With an HID kit (4300k):http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...DC5001.jpgWith an "HID" bulb:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...ights-2.jpgYou can always check out XenonDepot.comThey have guides and pictures of what the kit would look like on your car.
