Hmm to begin with you'd have to post the link to the ebay auction.

A better solution would be to check the group buy section here and look at getting them from AutoMax_95 (Jason). $210'ish

I just got my 3000k's from jason and I havent had them installed yet but I can say this if you ever have a problem which you shouldnt you can always go back to him the problem with this ebay stuff is once you buy it whatever happens is your responsibility. So id say if u want peace of mind just spend some extra money and get em' done not to scare you or anything but some of the stuff on ebay can really mess with your electrical system.

There are a couple of places you can go to buy the kits...
Check the group buy section too... (I would rather buy here than off of ebay)

As for time... I did mine in about an hour and a half... and that was with waiting for the silicone to dry...

It really is an easy installation...

I bought mine from Automax_95, the 6000K. I installed it last weekend. It took me longer to get to headlights than connecting the HIDs, it was my first time taking off the bumper. I love the color that I have, all I need to do now is adjusting the aiming, they are off to the left a little bit.

I am sorry to say I VIK I but your wrong. I had bought hids for my truck foglights about a year and half ago, well 5 months of use I notice one of the ballast went bad (Due to my stupidity, I mounted them with the mounting 3m tape they come with, they eventually gave up & ballast was bouncing around in the undercarriage & broke). Luckily there was no physical damage or any signs of abuse, so I contacted seller, advise him ballast went dead, sent him old one back & he sent me a brand new one, this is 5 months after the deal, after feedback was left. So he backed his warranty up with replacement product.

Fastmax if you do decide to purchase from ebay, make sure seller has 97% or better feedback with over a 100 feedback reviews. sometimes if seller had over 1000 + feedback 95% or better can be exceptable as well, just review the bad feedback 1st.
