Thumbs down Beware Ebay bulbs!

I must've tried about 5 diff pairs of those "xenon/brite" bulbs. Would blow in less than a month! So i ripped the cable I played it wit so much. Nissan Parts said "So u tried those "xenon" bulbs. THEY'LL KEEP BLOWIN & DONT WORK in my 00 max. Beware those Ebay sellers who say they are made for the car. Something about the voltage or wattage. Now if u do enough electrical mods, maybe possible, there maybe a special cable for the back of the light. AT LAST, I tried the best Sylanian for it, 4 months no problem. Not xenon but an improvement over stock.

I got those 8000K light bulbs off ebay.com Waste of money mine blew the same day. They suck don't get them at all. I have the Sylvanian bulbs they are a little more but its worth it, 6 months and still work.

Re: Beware Ebay bulbs!

I even bought a pair of Sylvania Silverstar bulbs off eBay and they both blew out within 5 months. I guess $45 bulbs for $20 was too good to be true.

Yea it was definitely the wrong wattage because I bought some bulbs off ebay and installed them in august last year and they are still running bright. Ill even take pics if requested.

Re: Beware Ebay bulbs!

I had the same problem as well, so I hooked up with a buddy of mine and now we sell LED bulbs with a 30day warrenty, and a optional 60 Day warrenty for an extra $5!!
