Poor man's HID
 
Anyone have a comment on these?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1844948732
I just saw them on ebay and they look interesting but the Chinese writing on the back of the box sound scary. Anyway, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them.

all my hyperwhite bulbs are straight from japan, theres NO ENGLISH on the boxes at all, but they work hella nice:cool:

you get what you pay for dude that kit looks like crap
you can find better conversions on ebay for around $400

try to understand this: colored headlight bulbs are GHEY!!!

A headlight bulb draws whatever current it draws. Some stupid relay will not make it draw more power than it was made to. Besides, 150W on each side will definitely melt the headlight housings or burn something out in no time. :down:

Yeah seriously, I wouldnt feel comfortable driving around with my headlights pulling 150watts on each side. Don't get some cheap knock off HID system. Just pay the few hundred more for the real stuff.

indeed that is crappy,
Real HID's put out about 20,000 volts with a very small amount of wattage to create the beautiful light.
also they don't even have filaments..

sooooooooooooooooo that means what? That just because you can't translate the Japanese character for "This is a cheap ass bulb that was produced to rim off stupid Americans" means that the bulbs are better than ones with the labels written in english? I'm not doubting that they are nice bulbs, but just because they are from Japan doesn't make them superior to any other bulb you can get in the states. Japan has their fair share of rice too, ya know. Just a thought.
