xenon plasma h.i.d.'s? for real?

i was browsing through ebay when i noticed this for the i30/max's.

anyone have any info proving or refuting this technology and/or plausibility of these? are they for real, and do they work?

don't want to waste money i could be saving for a mevi, eh?

anyhow this is the link to the page of what i saw.

cheers.

Link does not work. Odds are if it has "Xenon Plasma" in the name, it is nothing more than a colored bulb, not the real thing. A real HID kit will come with Ballast and a few other HID specific accessories I can't remember at moment.

crappy, sorry about the broken link. basically what it pointed to was an auction that had these bulbs that had a slight tint on them with "xenon gas" inside the bulb. lol..

Yeah those are just wanna-be HID bulbs. They won't even come close to the color temperature of a real HID system. Personally, my pockets aren't deep enough to warrant the need for one in my vehicle. Most of the time people get them for looks but the benefits are dramatic too. For me, this is not a priority thing. I'd rather save that money for more important things.
