Bulbs

Hey to all, this would be my first post here. I see you all have good choices in vehicles haha. Well I'd like to get an HID kit but I'm broke, so I'm just going to settle for bulbs. I need to choose which ones however. I would like to get as close to HID as possible, and have found a few on eBay already (below, they seem legit...) Anybody have suggestions? I need 9006's...

Can I really get decent ones that cheap? I figured those weren't any good... I just don't want to buy something that performs like crap/doesn't last long. Well can anybody refer me to one? It would have to be under $200... Also, how difficult would it be to install?

I think you should save a little longer and get yourself some HIDs.

I've been buying bulbs for my 98 3.0 CL and its a constant problem with the bulbs burning out.

I noticed there were a few auctions for $153 plus shipping.

I woudnt spend more than $40 on superwhites if I was tryign to save for HID's. Its just something temporary. $80 for some hyperwhites? shit thats almost half of the cost of HID's.

dude i got some ebay hids for 149 shipped and that was including $12 extra cuz they were 3000k yellows. those high wattage halogens wont last more than a few months and then you will be left sad and lightless.

So you're more satisfied with your eBay HIDs than the high wattage halogens?

Well... the HID's it is. So far I think these guys are sellin the most legit kit.

For some reason I don't like buyin things the cheapest I can get off. I get paranoid about it... The three year warranty just sets it off for me too. But I'm still debating... What kits did you guys get anyways. Can you give me a link?
