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

Did you notice what the headlights did to your paint job? I'd be pissed.
