sure buy them. Then look for another set in about a month when they burn out.

Buy some sylvanias or some nokya's. PIAAs are sharp looking but they have lasted about a year or so that I have seen.

Ebay bulbs suck. I bought some Koba bulbs about 6 months ago, and they crapped out about 2 months later. The seller offered lifetime replacement, and guess what - they no longer sell those bulbs (the seller can't even be reached, plus they've yet to return my email). It's a total scam IMO. Do what ^ said and buy some Silverstars. I went back to OEM bulbs - I got tired of replacing those cheap "HID" bulbs.

there used to be a deal to get a tru HID kit from brucespeed for $300 - if I remember right sonicbewm had those as well as a couple other 2gnters. They look REALLY nice. That was probably over a year ago, so I doubt the deal is still available.

as far as that 3 month warranty - LOL! Shouldn't they last longer than 3 friggin months?

I had some of those cheap ebayers. They lasted a couple months TOPS.

I got the Nokya Artic White bulbs off ebay and I got no complaints about em, lasted me a good while, especially for only $15! Well worth the money imo.

I think I'm gonna get the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs yet, I've heard nothing but great things about em'. Next I think I'll go H.I.D.

yup that'd be me an sonikbewm and a couple others. hanabi 800k HID kit (the real thing not imitation bulbs). trust me - once you go HID you never go back. these things are hella bright. when you drive cars w/ halogens after driving a car with HID's it feels like the lights aren't even on. and if the $300ish deal we got seems pricey, that actually really cheap for a HID kit. kits usually go for the $500+ range and require modifcation. this was a plug and play kit.
