I notice all of those after market bulbs call themselves HID. . . All they do is try and mimic HID bulbs. . . nothing beats the real thing :D

Message To Seller: "I was just wondering why you're calling these HIDs when that verbiage is nowhere on the package?"

It does say on the picture "simulated HID look". The seller's crime is like selling a package of clearly labeled "simulated crab meat" as Real crab meat.
Whoever buys this without looking at the picture and without seeing the words "simulated" will not tell the difference, too bad for them.

If it really pisses you off, you can log a complaint to eBay, but they're not gonna do anything about this, caveat emptor.

From the seller: "These xenon bulbs simulate the color ouput [sic] of HID bulbs, so we use HID as a descriptive term."

I don't know about this one. Maybe this would be more likely for a civic forum but not on a solara forum.
