My low beam just went out. I'm thinking of replacing it with a 6000k bulb that I found online for $30/ pair. Will I regret it? Here is the link:

If these aren't good, can anyone recommend a pair?

Stillen used to make everything in house. They did the R&D and made it, this was in the early -mid 90's AFAIK. Now they just aren't doing all the little things anymore, they are outsourcing/rebadging things as well. They are more focused on $$$ items. So small things like HFC they might be stillen but they are made by Kintex. They do happen to be a little more picky when it comes to who they want to make things. I would believe they are better then generic ebay stuff, but really its a strut bar, little to no feel. The item cost maybe $5-20 for nissan to mass produce it, it came on the 350z, should bolt up to our cars so they didn't have to do ANYTHING other then order more. But they didn't, maybe because the cost didn't reflect the gains, IF ANY. Aim for sway bars if you want something similiar with a higher chance of making a difference.

FYI I bought the same rings Chris listed on ebay for $8 shipped for all 4. Had them on for over a year and they show no signs of wear, they literally look brand new.
