I too tried out eBay 15K builbs this past summer. I'm coming up on 2 months usage with them and love them. Previously I had Phoenix 14Ks which I found too blue for my taste. These eBays are much more white like Ushios that I used to have a while back, just the way I like it. I ordered like 6 of then at roughly $20 a pop. Not sure If I used the same eBayer as Global or Grizz but there are tonnes of them on eBay.

As a side note, when I first installed them I noticed that two of then after a week went from 15K to 10k (very yellow) and I was afraid they were crap! However, after a bit of experimenting I discovered that my ballasts were overheating which caused them to burn this way. After I rearranged my ballasts and putting a fan on them all bulbs burned as expected and I'm quite happy with them.
