Default Anyone Ever Try Super Cheap Ebay HIDs?

Saw this and obviously they're not OEM, but the price difference is huge. Wondering if I'm missing something here:

I had nightmares with the "kits" but im not sure about these.

Common Problems with Ebay kits are: Different color bulbs, broken bulbs, refurbished bulbs, taylor swift.

well seeing as NIGHTTIME or DARKNESS is technically %50 of your whole life, and HEADLIGHTS are the ONLY thing allowing you to
SEE(very important) during night (streetlights to but most fail) while driving places its probably not a good idea to skimp on that.
Honda OEM S2k projectors are some of the best.

Are those the cheap ebay ones?
8k bulbs are defnitely a good bit dimmer than oem ones though as the oem 4300 I believe is the brightest they can get. Everything else just adds more color for less light.

brightest bulb is 5000k-5500k just need to get the right wattage for each individual car. piaa is a great bulb company but not gunna be 20 bucks for them. remember you get what you pay for. I am a deal hunter too but most of the time in my experence if it's is too good a deal there is a reason.
