one other you may want to replace the pair...the colour difference between new and old may look a bit odd.
IF given a choice of colour temp, original is 4300K
I reckon optimal daylight match is 5000K
dont go beyond 6000K - its the whitest, but starts heading to blue territory and the light output drop off after this.

im sure a few people have ordered from here without complaint

Very happy with the "ebay crap" I've been using for the the past 3 years. £20 the pair. Bought a spare set at the same time - haven't needed them them yet.
Admittedly they are 6000K, and don't give quite as good illumination as the originals, but they're perfectly adequate for all circumstances I've encountered. They definitely aren't blue!

I too got plenty of life out an ebay set...
they didnt illuminate as well as others...but I was happy enough.
there are enough horror stories about though, including fire, so I dont recommend them
