Counterfeit D2S headlights

Safety Question

So ah, found out my headlight went out last night, with today being Easter and myself being on a driving probation I was in a pinch to get a new one.

$109 at most auto stores, actually crazy to me, I’ve been fixing my car up and paying for Ubers to and from work and it’s drained my savings.

Found some D2S on Amazon for $9, obviously from china, now I’m planning to buy a bulb from an auto store on Friday when I get paid.

I am worried that this counterfeit bulb might cook the inside of my headlight and cause yellowing, or electrical issues, how common is this or if I’m only using my headlight for, 40 min total in commute until Friday will any of these issues arise? I realize this is kind of an unanswerable question but I’m really grabbing at straws, any advice or wisdom on this topic is appreciated
