got these off of ebay..company is xpert-tuning... anyone tried these? they are 5,000k direct replacement bulbs for factory.. for 10$ {includes shipping} got to give it a try...

 

I'm assuming these are just "colored" halogens, right? Kind of like cheap SSs?

Either way, if they last, they might make a good substitute to SSs. What is the other Ebay halogen that people liked? I think it had a lifetime warranty or something, Eurodesign?

 

yeah,but for 10 bucks what the heck!!

 

Ummmm a straight replacement bulb isn't a HID bulb. You need ballasts/starters, etc to be a real HID. Can't get those for $10 bucks. You get what you pay for though. I hope el cheapo 10 dollar bulbs work out good for you.

 

yeah they aren't REAL HID but supposed to be as bright or close... just thought i would see what they are like...will let you guys know when i get them...

 

Make sure to routinely check your wiring harness, those cheap bulbs that "are as bright as HIDs!!!!" draw way more power then stock bulbs. This can melt the wiring harness. So now a $10 bulb costs $300.

 

Those are terrible, I had them in for a total of an hour. Worst lighting than stock

 

i will keep a eye on them,they are just going to do till i can afford some black headlights... well 06xlt4x4 you just ruined my day !!! i didnt think they would b that great... thanx for the info though ..

 

If you want black headlights why did you spend money on Ebay bulbs?

 

bulbs were only 10 with shipping, headlights are 150-200 for good ones... dont have 200 to spend on headlights at the moment..

 

Check the wattage on the bulb and packaging before you put them in. Normal lights are 55w/65w, as stated before, any more will draw too much current through your stock wiring harness and rick burning you to the ground. Not to be Negative Nancy or anything.

 

Had some of the cheap "HID" bulbs in one of my previous trucks for a few days and they melted my stock wiring harness. Trust these guys........ a replacement wiring harness is not cheap by any means and those bulbs will melt your harness in no time.

 

x2. I never replaced the harness. It was cheaper to buy real HID's and just wire them in

 

ok ...thanx for the warnings.

 

got the bulbs today, they are 55 watts... they look good so far,,not really dark enough yet, will take some pics tonite..
