Ebay Scam Alert: picturebook_lover
For anyone considering upgrading your daytime running lights (do a search if you don't know what I'm talking about), DO NOT buy these lights from Ebay seller picturebook_lover. They are worthless and do not look anything like what is shown in the auction pictures. See the attached PDF for details on the auction I'm talking about.

The bulbs did a great job in macthing up with my HID setup. I am happy with them. Why do you trash talk about that ebayer's product?.. The seller even show picture illustrations of the bulbs installed in hope to show people white ligth do appear little different in different distance.. take a look the listing page. I just don't like you spread BS about who I thought was honest and delivered the product as it shown.
Take a look for your self here:

Good for you chinaman...HOWEVER, as far as I'm concerned they are advertised to match the HID headlights and they DON'T, I don't care what type of vision you have. Why don't you post your own pics instead of the phony ones in the auction. What is that supposed to prove? Is picturebook_lover a business associate or friend?

Hmmm...chinaman, I see that you HAVE posted pics and as the world can see in your pics, the rip off bulbs from picturebook_lover are not anywhere close to those shown on the Ebay auction: https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...97#post2534697
I'm starting to think that YOU are picturebook_lover...

I find myself on the fence here. I know bs00clk and he is not a kid, probably just frustrated with the inacurate representation of the product by the seller. I also am Canadian so I would hope that chinaman is honest like the rest of us Canucks
Anyway, I have been looking at these for a while because the other ones I got off of ebay, which also say they are xenon color matched are not.

Just to make my case.. other who had purchased bulbs are all happy with Picturebook_lover's bulbs..
And I don't think everyone gave positive feedback are all in business with Picturebook_Lover..
So shut your trash talking mouth "bs00clk ".. and don't go around accuse people now...
Get lost !!
See the feedback for yourself here...

MBWorld Fanatic!
I've never seen anyone so willing to defend a product other people say is garbage...
also, I've seen chinaman brag on those lights and advertise for them in many threads. Chinaman, you sure you don't make or sell these or have some connection?

Yes, I have factory HID and these bulbs dont match well. Bottom line is that they are dull and have little to no intensity. They do not even light a path when on. They aren't worth buying.

Gundo and Jessica90, I had the same experience with these being very dull, very blue, and not bright and certainly not white; exactly what I was trying to warn forum members about. I'll post pics once I get my car back from the shop in a week or two.
Mr. Pie, if you want to save yourself some $, don't buy these. Happy holidays all.

Only one's I ever remember seeing for piaa are these. Do the conversion and you'll know it's not worth the money.

I would agree with the original poster on this subject from the standpoint that these lights blow! they don't show up installed as they do in the auction and more over i am now starting to receive the lamp failure message on my console.
I bought these after searching this site and reading a recomendation on them.
Enjoy your cars avoid these lights!
