Do these headlamp replacements actually work?

What do you ppl think of the xenon (pseudo HID) headlight bulbs?

I looked at lots of 'em on eBay, & this particular pair looks interesting: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=005&sspagename=STRK%3AME WA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=150141992818&rd=1,1

Are they dangerous to my wiring?
Will they give me "better" headlights?
Are they as bright or brighter?

Well, you get the idea. I'd really appreciate any feedback on this as the auction closes real soon. BTW, on eBay they're way cheaper than anywhere else [obviously].

Thanks in advance,
Parva

Dude.. stay away!! they are no where near H.I.D.. if you want alittle brighter out of the stockers you can switch to Silverstars... Unless they come with Ballasts and all the rest of the wiiring, its not worth it. trust me I have learned the hard way. Those will probably end up burning your harness and so forth.

Read his feedback, they are dim and would be dangerous if you ask me.

Those headlight bulbs are all crap. They are merely 100w bulbs coated with blue tint.
