Default Are these real HIDs?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=36476


I was wondering if these work for my explorer 9007 bulb and if so how? I thought real HIDs took a bit of modifying to fit/work and these say no modifying? Thanks in advance.

I bought 2 sets of HIDS off Ebay and both are extremely bright. You can see them better than anyone elses HIDS.

Just like the ones I posted? How hard are they to install? Also, do you have to buy a whole new kit if these die or what? Thanks alot.

They're real and not really that hard to install...I would not go w/ the 8000k though. They're too blue and you'll get tickets. I had a 4300k kit in which is more bright white, which lights the road up like 4-5 brighter and further than normal headlights...

You may not get a ticket, but the higher u go 6000,8000k+ on the light spectrum the more blue/purple they get which are not as bright as the 4300k kits....I personally don't like the purple look

not including the fact that they are dimmer too so its counter reproductive when your trying to achieve better lighting.
