    I saw some auctions on Ebay that claim to sell HID bulbs for 2003
    Honda Accord. They are selling for about $20 a pair. They seem a bit
    cheap for HID lights. Can someone please comment on whether these are
    of any value? Thanks in advance.

  2. Three words: DO NOT BUY!

    The bulbs will not last long and the lifetime warranty? Well, the seller will
    be long gone for it to be any of use.

    Stop being a cheapskate and go buy a pair of Sylvania Silverstar ($20 each)
    from Kragen or Autozone. They are the best and is backed by a true warranty.

    Not exactly, in addition:

    some would be brown
    some would be filled with cream
    some would be filled with nuts

    "What is the life expectancy of SilverStar?

    The life expectancy of a SilverStar halogen light source is dependent on the
    driver's use of the lights, which vary by season, time of day and number of
    miles driven. We estimate the SilverStar halogen lights to have a life span
    of up to one year under average driving conditions. "

  8. You are very confused. Sylvania Silverstar is a blue bulb - IOW a scam
    which appeals to those who would choose a headlamp based on the color of
    light it puts out. The XtraVision at half the cost is a better choice and
    puts out approx the same light. I'll add that there is firm evidence that
    if a color is preferred, a slightly yellowish tinge to headlamp color is
    better from the POV of reflected glare in fog, rain and on wet roads.

  9. See the http://www.danielsternlighting.com/tech/tech.html If they are HID
    bulbs, where is the high voltage going to come from? It cannot be included
    for that price. Anyway, HID bulbs are not compatible with the
    reflector/lens used for regular halogen bulbs and would give an illegal and
    bad beam pattern which would not improve your vision, as well as blind
    other road users. IOW the only way to upgrade to HID, if that's what you
    want, is to exchange the entire headlamp assembly... if one exists which
    fits your car.

    Silverstars are not HID bulbs. They are a very bright Halogen. The US
    version of this bulb are colored. The European version are not colored.

  12. I see no mention by me or pencilcup of Silverstars below. You are right of
    course, though the U.S. Silverstar is also U.S. legal whereas the Euro
    Osram version is not... but I don't see the relevance of your post.
