Seeking some advise on HID bulb replacement

hey guys, I am fairly new to car stuffs so please give me some advise.

I am trying to replace my OEM HID bulb to 6000k and I found one on Ebay, which seems too cheap.

Will this be reliable?

One of my homie said that some cheap bulb can cause problem on entire headlamp so I want to get some advise from the auto experts here (;

As you can tell, I am really new to car mod stuff so any advise will be highly appreciated.

Thanks guys in advance.

FYI, I did change and modified all of the interior LED lights and HID bulbs for my MDX back in 2007. It cost me quite a bit, but now I have to switch back to all original (OEM) lights and bulbs. Those bulbs on eBay are NOT reliabe. They last about 6 months. It is a lesson for me, do not mess with eletrical of your "high tech" car. It gives you nothing but trouble and waste money. Please leave it alone.

Yeah... That's what I thought. So the Ebay is not reliable...

Hey mdx_tl, why are youing switing back to all OEM lights and bulbs?

Is it for resale purpose?

The reason I swithed back to OEM lights and bulbs was to avoid the headache and worry-free.

I installed Kaixen 6000k HID's for my low beam and fogs. Their not the cheapest but they are high quality. I bought mine from Josh at Excelerate. No problems with them thus far so I would recommend them. Only negative thing about Kaixen is they do not included a relay with the fog kit. But not a big deal because all you will need to do is change your fog fuse to the 20 Amp fuse. Hope this helps.
