Question ebay projector/hid

So I was on ebay and I saw this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HID-X...Q5fAccessories

It looks interesting and I've wanted to upgrade the lighting on my truck for a while. Has anyone tried these? Any opinions on how well they would work?
thanks

The housings are ****, (not adjustable) The ballasts are **** (extremely old design), the bulbs are **** (6000k=blue=least visible color of the spectrum), and they look ricetacular. Also their advertisement is full of lies. There is no way their Made by a 12 year old boy Chinese Ballasts are better than an Osram/Sylvania or Hella product is absolutely ridiculous.


If you want a real projector setup, get a set of clear lenses from LMC, or do a sport headlight conversion, then get Murano,TL, S2k, etc projectors.

If you go the PNP route, get a 4300 or 5000k kit.

Viper's right.

Also, if you get the clear units, don't get the "one piece" ones. Those are the ones I just got rid of (wait... do you want them? J/K) because they are non-adjustable. Replaced with a clear set of "normal" styled lights, nicely adjustable.
