I just put on a set of Hiper Xenon HID bulbs and they kick ***!! I asked some people about them before and they said that they were no good but they are wrong!! They look 100 times better than stock. I can see way better at night and the light looks much "cleaner". Best of all, they were only $16!! I bought the fog lights too, but I'm too lazy to put them in.

DEFINITELY WORTH IT!!

I'll post pics soon

2.)As long as you are happy...

If you look at what difference the HID Bulbs make over stock vs REAL HID's over the "fake" HID's it's not worth spending OVER TWENTY TIMES MORE!!

I know that the real HID's are better, but not worth the extra $300 plus dollars. Remember from econ, law of diminishing returns??

i agree with yo-its-ok

i've experimented with all the "HID" bulbs and are nothing like real HIDS. when these "HID" bulbs start blowing out on you for no reason, multiply the cost of replacing the bulbs over time, which what happen to me when i had my camry.

and when u come across a car that has "HID", just look at the ground in front of them - if its dim - its "HID" bulb and if its bright white - real HIDS.

get behind the wheel of true hids and u will know what we drivers with real hids are talking about.

my 2 cents

Those cheap xenon bulbs are going to stress your electrical system. They are brighter because they are higher wattage. So they also run hotter.

Has anyone tried the Razo bulbs? They people over on the acura MDX forums all swear by those.
