xenon hid light bulbs question?
I have been looking for just some new bulbs for my acura integra 91 ls and have found them to not be very expensive on ebay. do you guys know much about JDM-YELLOW-HID-9004-HEADLIGHT-BULBS-, or -8500K-HID-BLUE-XENON-BULBS-or 9004-XENON-HID-BULBS- are these just cheap or will they work fine? otherwise any other suggestions these were all about 8 bucks and 8 dollar shipping.
Thanks for your help

theyre crap.. i had "eurodezigns" bulbs with a "lifetime warranty" that last about 2 months before a bulb blows. i went thru 2 sets before i called it quits. now i have mtec brand bulbs, about $45, but they have lasted a year.
yes, you mentioned it quite clearly in your first post. 5000k and 8500k is the color temperature (k = kelvin) of the light produced. havent you learned this in one of your science classes? but yeah when it says the bulb is "8500k HID" theyre just hyping it up. HID my ass. its just a dim white light that is produced. do some research, youll find that cheap bulbs are a waste of money.
just go with some silverstars ftw. if u want REAL HID ud have to spend a lot of money. someone on www.g2ic.com make conversion kits to HID i believe...but i dont think its worth it

HID's are nice, but HID's with a retrofit is even better. Down the road, I might consider it.
Just getting the bulbs will do nothing for you. For a full HID kit, you need the ballasts too. The price you pay for the kit will pretty much let you know how good (or crappy) it is.
