Default HID headlights 25 bucks?

I was looking on ebay for more things to buy and I came across these HID headlights that cost 25 bucks??

Are they good, are they crap? Are they worth it? or ... is this a waste of money?

It may just be me, but I would want to see a picture of it on an actual MUSTANG, not some ricer....

And thats just for the bulb itself, its not an actual HID light. Its basically a blue headlight if you don't have the HID conversion kit on the car. What the auction is focusing on is if you already have the kit and need a replacement bulb.

This is not HID. You get what you pay for.

Ive got HID's and its way better than stock and better than those bulbs. Also i used them in stock housing and it works fine.

Other than the color of the lamps, the stock lights on these cars is pretty bright.

Whatever you do, if you go HID, do something with the fog lamp color. I cant stand seeing a car with blue headlamps and standard fogs.

Sylvania makes a Silverstar for our fogs. I have them and they are very nice.
