Uh, so are you trying to leech the image or link to the auction? Neither are working.

Actual working link to the auction

But yeah, that's a pretty good example of the retardedness that is fake HIDs and e-bay. And damn that is a lot of blue tint. I sent the seller this question:
hi i have a 93 legacy and want better lighting... are these reel hids or tinted bulbs and do i need better progecter hosings? and i thout that my lites were 55 watts why does the auction say 85?

yes, they're real. nope, don't need better housings. the wattage is part of what makes these bulbs better and they actually are 110w. thanks.

sweet dude time to get me some of them!

doesn't that extra wattage overload the harness?

yes it does overload the harness and most of the time stright melts the dam things.

i have one of thoes lights in one and one in the other. suprisingly the blue one always stays on and the normal one is only on with brights. this is due to the fact that the harness is melted not the lightbulb
