Not to totally dis the guy who is selling these, but if you look at the photo:

It doesn't seem to be any real improvement in terms of distance or range as far as illumination. All it does it "white out" your field of vision. I would suspect that this makes it more dangerous as it could actually mask road hazards and also blind the driver just ahead of you.
Perhaps I am wrong and I would appreciate input from someone who has seen them in person.

i mean for chrissake, even the crappiest translation software shouldn't be sticking the word "yes" all willy-nilly into the middle of a sentence!

I just got some bulbs for my Nissan 240sx 1998 and they are H1 bulbs and NOT H4. The price isnt that great to be honest. PIAA sells theirs in the stores for 60 for both bulbs (30 dollars per bulb) and they are considered my many as the #1 choice.
PIAAs are great, but try CATZ, they offer a better warrenty including impact damage. dont know how long the warrenty is though.

its more just to blind people that tick him off then anything, you can see a little better but its definately not necessary.

I just email that Ebay user and I was told that it's $33 for 2 bulbs; one pair! So, I really think it's good deal.
I brought these bulbs from one of the site below, and it was $60 back then!!!! Guess what?! They are worth the money! At last, I have better night vision!!
By the way, Raybrig in Japan is actually Stanley in US!
Other sites are selling these for:

$60.00
http://www.hitechimportlighting.com/raybrig.htm
$59.54
http://www.shopresponse.com/raybrig_metal_white.html
$69.99

I agree. If you want to get hits on your auction and get some bids, sell something worthwhile.
What you are doing is very cheap and unfortunately very obvious. but...hey..thanks for the GREAT deal. NOT!

I guess some people can't resist hopping in when it comes to exciting lighting discussions. Why, I know every time a light in my truck burns out, it gets changed. My left turn signal went out about a month ago. Fixed it in less than a week. Geee...light bulbs....huh....neat.

If you want some serious lights, spend the extra scratch and get PIAA super Plasmas. I have them, and they are as close to HID as you can get for under 100 bucks.

I noticed that onair, expert_mode, and the Ebay seller have other things in common like not being able to spell or use proper English. They must have been staring at those highlights too long!
