    so, i was walking around the cleveland auto show today, when i spotted a person selling euro dezigns parts., so naturally i checked it out. among the sales floor were hid's. so i looked, and they were $25 for both! i started talking to him, cuz naturally i thought there was a catch, but i was wrong. 8500k hid's with a LIFETIME WARRENTY for $25 out the door. so naturally i bought them so tomorrow i will have them on and will post pics of the lights post install here is the pre install, and the lights themselves.





    so wut u guys think about the matter?

    if there are no ballasts, they are not HID's

    using xenon gas instead of halogon doesnt seem like it'd be that big of a deal, just a different colour light.

    i figured so to tell the truth. but it doesnt matter for 2 reasons. one, they are lifetime, so no more paying for bulbs. and 2, when i get my new lights, i will be putting in 4000k REAL hid's. i knew they werent the real deal, but didnt kno they were that cheap on ebay. i just bought them cuz the lights i have kinda suck, and they were decently cheap.

    It's $12.50 shipped to your door. You paid $25. That's a 100% markup. To me thats a big deal. Whatever, your money
