Is This a Fake?

Look what I found on the e-bay: HID gas-charged ligh bulbs....reserve $19.99. Says no modifications needed. Anyone has similar ones? Thats not a real HID lights but bulbs. Will these hold up OK?

I suspect these are just the usual "HID look alike" bulbs. Can anyone figure out what brand they are?

as you see on that pic, the brand name is in Japanese lol. The seller says these are gas-filled bulbs, and look at that link where he shows the difference stock vs HID (his bulbs I suppose?)

Most bulbs have a gas in them, like halogens! For 19 bux you can't go wrong. make sure that they are 85watts though!

Just a little advice, the pic comparing "stock vs xenon bulbs" is fake! No bulb can emmit that type of light except an original HID kit with ballast and ignitor. Trust me I have HID on my headlights and foglights.
