Default anyone running these ebay HID's?

What if anything is the difference between these other than price?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...6760126&rd=1,1

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...6481582&rd=1,1

for those who run them, are they better than stock?

also, i want the color to be white/blue-ish not pure white? would that be the 8K bulb?

I bought these HID from ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/9006-...QQcmdZViewItem

I had someone install them for me because I am having back problems at this time. They are the 6K lights. They are a slight blueish color but are supposed to be a bright white. It really lights up the road at night and the oncoming traffic has never flicked there high beams at me so they are not blinding the on coming traffic. I say do it. There is a vendor on this forum that was selling them for $279 shipped but I think that ended June 30th. The lights are awesome and I think are well worth the money and time to install. There is another vendor on ebay that sells it for $103 plus shipping. Which one is better. I don't know. Remember the old addage, you get what you pay for. I would be real careful of the one that is only $49. Good luck in what ever you decide to do. Go for it.
