ebay D2R HID's vs. others???different or just price?

hey guys, so i just had an issue with the D2R's i ordered on here from a vendor so now i just for a thought searched ebay and found some for much cheaper since im in the market again. they say they are direct replacement plug n play and much cheaper and have 1 year warranty. So whats the difference from buyin the ebay ones vs ones on here besides the price..

heres the ebay ones

Honestly not much difference. Vendors will always claim their quality is the best and members have a general idea that ebay won't last long.

I bought my 6000k hids from ebay for $10. Looks great, been on for 6 months and counting.

So yeah, its just price difference.

Yea fitment was fine. I actually bought the D2C bulbs, which fit BOTH D2R and D2S lights (so fits both reflector lights and the projectors)

the only thing i was worried about was reading stories of ppl saying the ebay bulbs burned up their harnesses on other cars? and that they are cheap because they are grade d or e and lack uv protection and made with real cheap materials and made in china and pretty much impossible to actually get warrantied if they are defective or blow in a short time..but its only 10 bucks so the warranty doesnt really matter, i just dont want them to cause problems in the long run to my harness or anything

Which hid bulbs to use???

I have a 2006 g35 sedan (im far from tech savy when it comes to cars) my left headlight went out, ordered 2 x 35w d2s 6000k low beam xenon hid headlight bulbs off ebay. I tried both, they turned on for about 15 seconds, flickered and shut off. Turned the lights off and back on, the bulb did the same thing. I tried both bulbs, same results.

I ordered a brand new oem ballast, tried the bulbs again, same result. Finally (what i should've done initially) i took the bulb out of my right headlight (still working) tried it in my left headlight with the new ballast as well as the old ballast and it worked fine.

I then tried both new bulbs in the right headlight it came on and shut off again... The bulbs in my g35 intially are 12v35wd2r. Is there a big difference or do you think i got bad bulbs???

^ this is why you always go with OEM 4300k bulbs... you just got junky bulbs.

6000k has less visibility than 4300k. its just less lumens. its not "pure white" either, its more of a baby blue. It also kills visibility in the rain. anything in the higher temperature chart will give you less lumens. go OEM 4300k the first time, and they'll last years, and you won't have to buy junky chinese bulbs.
