Yep... I bought a set of those a couple years ago on ebay and instantly knew I wasted my money.

You know, if you contact the seller and tell them their product was damaged and the wrong part, they will probably refund some of your money. I bought a muffler off ebay one time and when I got it, it had a dent in it. They refunded like 40% of what I paid.

i ordered some "xenon blue" H4 bulbs for my 87 325 BMW about 10 years ago - eBay. They looked hottttt.

however, one day I was driving to work and drove through a puddle - BAM - both lights gone - water had splashed up and into each houseing from behind because it's not a sealed bulb enclosure. Swapped back to OEM and was good from there on out!

get what you pay for
