Default Replacing Bulbs?

Well i want to replace my bulbs of my 02 civic ex because they don't bright the road all the way cuz how my car sits (lower than others) and i was thinking of getting these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/100W-...QQcmdZViewItem

So my questions are: Are these bulbs good and how long would they last and also do i just "pop" my old bulbs out and put these in their place?

i think he was saying those cheap or knock-off Xenon, not legit.

I say go for it, my friend has some and so do i. They give your car a nice white, someitmes blue look, but dont expect them to last longer than 6 months. So do it man, especially if you dont got enough money for HID's right now.

only bad thing is that the real good xenons that had that nice blue tint to them are getting harder and harder to find....now almost all of them are the bright white now.

and DONT TOUCH THE BULB!!! my friend had a set of the crappy ebay ones, and he touched his drivers side, and it poped 2 days later, so he bought another set, well, took his dads low beams (because you cant really just buy one) and this time he didnt touch it.... it lasted for about a moth, however, the passanger side made it with out harm...but he bought some other brand from a local car shop....the were like $20 with a 10 year warrenty. i would buy them if you just wanted them as a test and you had the money for good ones. But make sure you keep you old ones so your not left in the dark untill you get some good ones.

yea just plug n play. and idk man, sometime they last longer than 6 months, but definately dont touch the bulb cuz the oil on your skin throws off the filament. And even the ebay ones have a nice blue tint on the glass so even when your lights are off, the blue glass reflects off the silver part of your headlight and gives it a blue look. I think Ebay Xenons are a good idea man.

I have Silverstar for a year or more and they're working fine. And yes, don't touch the bulb.
