im looking to replace my headlights, because over time mine have grown really dim, and im not sure, but i have ordered a new set of bulbs to replace them, and theyre aftermarket. im aware that they are probably not real HID headlights, but theyre cheap, and most likely better than the current ones. i have also been told, once installed they might fry up my harness or something like that. any help would be greatly appreciated

Well, first off, he says in the text they are 100/80W but in the photo the package says 150/130W, so which is correct? Second, HID headlights are very expensive, so for $5 I don't know what you're getting. I'd stick with factory bulbs. . .the ones in my Sable work really good, especially on high beam.

yea, well, it costed 3x as much to get them put in than the bulbs costed themselves, and i do know that real HID's can run into the thousands, but i just wanted to see what it was like, haha, the bulbs sucked, you could only see about 10 feet infront of you, and about 15 on high beam.
