I use the Ebay ones too. They are Xentec brand. I paid 9.99 with shipping for the one I bought. Mine where given to me because one went bad but I think the that took them off the vehicle they were on shorted it out. Since I have had them I have had no problem.

I bought my set from Intensehid.com. One of my ballasts burnt out just before winter came, so I just ordered a new one monday, got the frickin wrong one today so now I must wait 2 weeks to hopefully get the correct one! I hate the stock bulbs! 8000k bulbs for me when it comes back. They go great with my yellow fogs and light blue audi lights 0
