personally i would not trust that. Hids run at such temperatures that anything less than perfection would fail quickly. Get a real kit from xenondepot.com They are made by apexcone, i have had mine for over a year and had no problems.

Edit: I was just reading the actually add on that ebay kit. The guy doesn't eve know what he is talking about. He "recommends" the 6000k because it is the brightest, which isn't tru heh. Wouldn't buy from either of those auctions.

don't ever buy cheap ebay crap for your car. Ebay is cool for some things, but don't try and save a little bit of money by buying things for your car from there. They aren't quality and won't last or work as well as name-brand items (excluding a few items).

spending 2-300 on one kit that will last is better than spending 90 on a kit you will have to buy 3 times. right?
