Headlights
Will these be ok to use? Now im just trying to figure out why these lights say that they are HID but yet the hook up to the original harness.

no ballast so they arent true hids. if you want good bulbs without going hid, try sylvania silverstars.

They are just tinted blue so the light appears a more white color. They will actually be dimmer than stock lights, I've tried a pair before back when I wasa sophmore in high school. If it has no ballast, it's not hid.

They are teh correct wattage which is an unusall thing to see on eBay, but like everybody else is saying, either buy Silverstars or an HID kit, don't waste your time and money with eBay headlights

If you search there are websites that sell HID kits for under $100.00 i am not sure if they are trustworthy or not just saying i found a pair shipped for $89 through the spectrum.
