I need to replace the zenon bulbs on my 2003 Cl 500. There is a oem replacement for $20. or a sylvania for $77. Am I ok with the cheaper one?

Not massively, i dont think you'll be able to tell the difference really.

But why not just get the proper 4300k bulb? Or is that the more expensive one?

Personally im really thinking about changing my bulbs over to 6000k to get a proper blue tint in the light. I think that looks way better, but dont use just one as a 6000k, you can tell the difference from a mile.
