Eurodezigns HID Bulbs anyone use them?

hey was wondering if anyone have used the eurodezigns 8500k HID bulbs. they say they're D.O.T. approved and won't burn out my stock 2000 non-HID headlight wiring harness. just want to make sure before i get it, install it, and regret it.
ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLUE-...QQcmdZViewItem
Eurodezigns link: http://www.eurodezigns.com/

Thanks for input in advance!

Those are not HID's... they have poor output and will be blown in three months. So no, dont buy them... I coughed up the money for PIAA GTX and I am very happy with them.

thanks, but have anyone actually used them? they have a lifetime warranty; if its blown, they will replace it for free. if i remember correctly, they say it's charged with 35% xenon and 40% krypton gases.

It is a non-OEM bulb tinted blue. It will have less output on the road than stockers. As to the warranty, good luck getting service from an Ebay seller. If they do honor the warranty you'll have to wait for them to ship it.

My suggestion is you stick with OEM quality bulbs such as Sylvania, GE and Philips.

Here you go...

those are not xenon bulbs they are . they are halogen with some blue tint on the glass. they may have some xenon gas in them, but all you are going to do is annoy oncoming traffic with fake HID's. I recommend ( if you have the available $$$ ) to look in to getting an HID kit from zgperformance on Ebay, he is awesome, I bought all my kits from him or getting a 2001 HID conversion with the headlamp assy and everything. just my .02

yeah they have a lifetime warranty, and you have to pay to ship them back and have them inspected when they blow... almost cost you as much as the original cost of the bulb.

I did have those bulbs... I really regret it. it was a huge waste of money and time. The output was pathetic and they looked like s**t, if you want the HID look; either buy Piaa GTX or pay $250+ for actual HID's. No the Piaa bulbs do not look "exactly" like HID's, but they get as close as you can get from a standard bulb.
