    Hey, i need a replacement h.i.d bulb as one has blown.
    just wondering has anyone bought the cheap bulbs going on ebay?
    the place i got the kit from want £70 just for a set of new bulbs! where as on ebay i can get the same for £6.39!
    The seller has good feedback, but it just seems to good to be true?

    Any one had any experience with it?

    A good quality HID bulbs should outlast your car. Are you positive its not the ballast that's gone?

    PS. There supposed E mark and DOT marks h3 h1 h7 hb3 hb4 bulbs are fakes. The bulbs in the link are just cheap knock offs and are NOT road legal.

    yea its deffientley the bulb, changed it for a 10k bulb my mate had spare, which is working fine, but its just too bright.
    erm ok then cheers mate.... ive just emailed the company i originaly bought them off to see if its still covered by warranty.
    ill wait to see what they come back and say.
