Like Chris said, they are trying to trick you into thinking those are hid bulbs. Read the description closely. Those are just halogens with a blue film on the interior of the bulb. They might look cool, but are not HID.

well for 20 dollars will they look better and perform the same as the stock ones, i mean i know they are not going to be as good as a full hid kit, but i just like the look of the clearer light

They actually did look pretty good, while they worked, It seemed clearer, not really sure if it was brighter. I think the blue tint/hue they had made driving easier cuase everything seemed brighter.

If you want blue tint bulbs, get Sylvania or Philips SilverStars. Philips are better, but I don't think they are available for this application. I recommend GE Nighthawks which don't have the blue paint - the paint makes the light more white/blue (raises the temperature) but it does it by filtering out part of the light, which makes it less bright.
