theres a lot of 6000k and 8000k replacement bulbs on ebay for very cheap (like less than $20). will these work or do i need to buy something like philips or kaixen to get them to work?

Need to be D2R or D2C bulb base. Be wary, you get what you pay for.

5000k is a nice white with blue tint- 6000 are more blue with a white tint and are good for seeing road markings and signs.
I spent $150 with Excelerate for the Kaixens and am very happy with them.

The Kaixen 6000K is hot! I only got one replace so far, lol. I'll do the driver side next week. Really a pain...
