ebay lights are crap.

until you actually get a real HID kit, any bulb other than stock is useless.

any BTW any bulb over 5k and your visibility goes down the drain.

If you get a HID kit, you have to disable DRL if your car has it. I don't know if yours does, but I just wanted to throw that out there, so that if you do get HIDs you don't blow them out.

the blueish bulbs you get on ebay are just tinted regular bulbs. they burn out quicker than standard bulbs anyways. get sylvania silver star headlight bulbs

I use the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra's

They work great and they were like 40 bucks on amazon and I had an offer for a free trial of amazon prime so they shipped 2 day free as well.

They are definately whiter than my old ones, but my cars headlight fixtures are pretty crappy

real HID full light bulb, enclosure and all is actually illegal to install in a vehicle that doesn't come standard equipped with them... but who cares.

Those Ebay imitations are worthless.

If you want to see where you are going then get some HID off-road only lights.
