They are probably junk, if you want something decent get a pair of garax 6ks, they are probably your best bet

You can buy the real OEM deal off EBay for under 80.00 a pair to your door and get something that will last for years... why skimp here?

just my opinion, but I dont think your going to gain much in an aftermarket HID, the OEMs work just fine in the projector assembly. I had great luck here http://stores.ebay.com/HID-CONCEPT

I put PIAAs in my fogs last week and they are definitely whiter, but just replacing the older HIDs with new ones, made them nice and white again, and they are a nice color temp balance now with the PIAAs, as they are both in the low 4xxx range.
