Ebay Xenon HID head lights 1999 Q45 ???

[KoupeDaVille]

I found this store on Ebay ( http://stores.ebay.com/Formula-J87__W0Q ... mit=Search ) selling replacement Xenon HID bulbs for my 1999 Q45. My question is which one of these bulbs is the closest to OEM? There is 261 results for Q45, and Im not sure how to sort thru the jargon. I know that the oem temp is 4300k, but there seems to be more then one option.

If some one can shed some light on this (no pun intended ) it will be much appreciated, or if there is a less expensive alternative.

Thanks, Koupe.

drop in HID's do not generally work too well with headlights designed for regular incandescent bulbs.. I would recommend just getting some replacement silverstar headlights and be done with it..

If you do have the HID option on your 99Q as I do,I would reccommend looking at the sellers with OEM bulbs(I believe Phillips), they list at half of retail price from stealership and about double the prices of the bunk aftermarket suppliers that never look right.

I bought a set of bulbs off eBay for 99 Q and they work great. stock color is 4300 k and i picked up 6000k and they look very good-bright white with a hint of blue.

Get the DR bulbs.

Good luck

Thanks for the replies. Yes I do have HIDs, I think all '99 Q45 have them. I just order Sylvania 4300k D2R, I believe those are the oem specs. I'll let ya know how they work.
