Xenon light bulbs for $2? Something's not right...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33710

It's late and I'm pretty sleepy...so maybe I'm missing some fine print. Are these for the HIDs on the 02/03 or are they for 00/01? What the hell are they? I feel like taking the dive and buying them. *shrug*

Bulbs are halogen H4s for 2k/2k1. Imitation hid look with crappy blue paint.
they prolly suck, but they wont fry your harness,since they're at stock wattage

They are legit if the shipping and price total come to around $10.00. They don't look bad when considering color and beam pattern, but unfortunetly as everyone else said the life expactancy of these bulbs are horrible. Don't even dare buy the H3 version of these bulbs - i fried them in about 2 months. At first I thought it was a fluke but then I bought another pair and those went out in a month.
