Default Ebay OEM HID Bulbs?

Anyone have experience buying the Harrison Japan OEM D4S HID bulbs from any sellers off ebay? I see pairs are going for $100 or less. But im worried they're knockoffs. All feedback seems to be good though.

Certain things I wouldn't buy on ebay... $100 light bulbs would be one that I'd avoid. I did spend $200+ for Philips Ultinons from a vendor here with zero concern.

I'm sure you can find a better option in the vendor section under $100 and the real deal. Light bulbs are super hit and miss on ebay...

I've purchased a set (Philips). I forgot the sellers name but he had a lot of literature on his listing showing how his bulbs were authentic. I received the bulbs and compared them to my OEM ones. I noted several subtle differences and complained to him. In the end I kept the bulbs. I paid $80 for the set. It has been over a year and they are still working fine. Color output is perfect OEM.
