**CLOSED!!** Group Buy: True HID kits! **IN STOCK AND ACCEPTING PAYMENTS!!**

[Jeff240sx]

Hey guys. I've seen alot more interest in HID kits recently, and found a supplier that is willing to do a group buy. So, if there is enough interest, I will go through and host the buy.

Who: You will deal directly with me. I've been asked about my credentials. So here these are:
I'm a moderator here. I'm on every other board possible. I've been an active member for 3 years.
Here is my ebay feedback:
http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=jeff240sx
That is 377 positive feedbacks from 345 unique users. 0 negatives. And I don't just buy stuff, I actually sell "ricer lights (hahaha!)" every day. I'm really not out to screw people, which is why I'm willing to put up the other 50% for the bulbs.


What: XD7 HID kits. These are on Ebay at $289 + $20 shipping. I can get down to $270 shipped for 10 sets. $260 for 15 sets. $255 for 20 sets, and $250 for 25+ sets.

http://www.gaontrading.com/images/XD7_1.jpg
http://xtremevision.biz/picts/prod2.jpg
This is a full kit, ready to install. I've installed one on a friend's Tahoe and it required no cutting, and was done in an hour. "They're crazy bright," according to him.

http://www.gaontrading.com/images/in.jpg
Included with the kit:
-HID 35W Lamp 2pcs
-Ballast 2pcs
-Starter 2pcs
-Cable Tie 12pcs
-Cable Set 2pcs
-Bracket for Ballast 2pcs
-Bracket for Starter 2pcs
-Bolt, Nut, Washer 14set
-1 Spare Fuse (15A)
-1 Installation Instructions (English)

Type | ARCVoltage | TestVoltage | Wattage | Life
H1 | 85±17 | 13.5 | 35±3 | min2000Hr
H4 | 85±17 | 13.5 | 35±3 | min2000Hr



Available in:
4100K - "Standard HID". +$10 over groupbuy price
http://www.gaontrading.com/images/xd7_extra.jpg
*Not exact pic. That's of 5000K, but you can see it's much more white than the others*
6500K - Blueish white. http://www.gaontrading.com/images/xd7_blue.jpg
7500K - White white. http://www.gaontrading.com/images/xd7_dia.jpg
8500K - Blue/violet. http://www.gaontrading.com/images/xd7_pre.jpg

These kits come with a 1 year warranty, available to the purchaser (Me). I've been around for 3 years. I'll be here for another year.

When: I am starting this now. I think that Dec 5th is a good stop date.

How: Once I get 10 confirmed buyers, I'll take a nonrefundable 50% deposit, and foot the other 50% (we're talking over $1000) myself, so that nobody feels uncomforable in this transaction. The shipment will take 30 days from the moment I place the order, plus or minus a few due to customs. If a buyer backs out, I am keeping the deposit, because I'm not losing $150 because someone would rather have a new steering wheel. If you can find another buyer for your set, have them give you the 50% deposit, and the other 50% to me and I'll release the bulbs.

If anyone is interested, let me know. I know that christmas is comming up, which is usually a good time for group buys. It's only 50% now, and 50% after the holidays (like I said, 30 days shipping).

[Jeff240sx]

do you know who actually makes the bulbs and ballasts?

http://www.gaontrading.com

The headlights are for H1 and H4, which are s14a and s14 bulbs, and the most popular sealed beam conversion for s13s.
-Jeff

[mrmephistopheles]

']do you know how to go about converting it to work with the pop-up headlights of the s13?


The headlights are for H1 and H4, which are s14a and s14 bulbs, and the most popular sealed beam conversion for s13s.
-Jeff


What was your question?

[Jeff240sx]

i wonder if this company makes kits compatible with silvia s13's ?

S13 silvia front ends use an H1 bulb. I'll check tonight what bulb S15 front ends use.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

We have 2 people so far. 8 more and I can do this.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

are these the same thing as supervision??

Can you elaborate on this?
-Jeff

[FRpilot]

no lower temperatures? lik 3-4k?

[KiDyNomiTe]

I'm in, do you want that 50% now or after you get 10?

[justinhustle]

im interested, seeing as silverstars look stock to me =/

id like to see some pics of s14's like kouki in particular with this setup...

is anyone worried about anything 6500+ melting their headlights?

[Jeff240sx]

no lower temperatures? lik 3-4k?

I know I can get 4200K, but there may be a slight price increase associated with them. You're the second request, so I'll look into it.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

I'm in, do you want that 50% now or after you get 10?

I'm only taking money once I get 10 people. But if I can call you #3, awesome!
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

im interested, seeing as silverstars look stock to me =/

id like to see some pics of s14's like kouki in particular with this setup...

is anyone worried about anything 6500+ melting their headlights?

A) Koukis are glass. B) I sell 6500K xenon lights on ebay, DOT approved. It's not a temperature rating as Kelvin implies, but rather a color.
C) HID kits use less wattage to make brighter light. I believe these are 35 or 37 watt bulbs. With half the current draw, wiring and housing heat issues are nonexistant.
-Jeff

[SimpleS14]

I would be interested if you can go lower than 6500K

[MrSkinny]

i would be interetsed in a h4 set for my zenki s14. how much shipped to canada and what do u recommend 6500? is anything higher than that "illegal"?

[Jeff240sx]

4200K are +$10 over the group buy price.

Who is definately interested? Please say what color temperature you'd like.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

i would be interetsed in a h4 set for my zenki s14. how much shipped to canada and what do u recommend 6500? is anything higher than that "illegal"?

Canada will be the same shipping price. It's only some paperwork I'd need to file.
I recommend whatever lights you think look good. I plan on getting 6500K myself. Lights are only illegal if they're obnoxious colors, like 12000K, or if the cop is having a bad day.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

I've deleted alot of posts and placed the information in the first post. This is now a group buy. I've gotten 5 people very interested in 1 day.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

I have 3 definate and 3 interested. Keep them comming!
-Jeff

[stevebsvs]

This is a great deal, guys. UNFORTUNATELY, I just spent $420 (shipped) on a kit from optionimports...and I thought that was cheap till I saw $250!!! WTF!!

[mrmephistopheles]

When: I am starting this now. I think that Dec 5th is a good stop date.
-Jeff
Whens the last day for this group buy? I dont have the money right now but i probably gonna get some soon.

What? :keke:

[Jeff240sx]

Whens the last day for this group buy? I dont have the money right now but i probably gonna get some soon.

Dec 5th, 2 weeks. The good part about this is that you only pay 50% up front, and then have about 30 day to get the other 50% while the order is filled, shipped, goes through customs, and then I get them.
-Jeff

[SilviaDriver]

heres a question nobody has asked..i think

how do they compare to catz or other japanese brand HID kits?

visit HIDforum and ull hear about these sort of kits burning out on u in a couple months

[AzNCmB]

i'm interested, but i'm unsure of which one to get, deciding between the 6500k and 8500k,
ahhahah... i want to blind people that get in my way!

LETS GET 20 BUYERS!!

[Jeff240sx]

heres a question nobody has asked..i think

My friend Sean with his Tahoe has had them for 8 months installed. I'm heading over to get a pic right now. And with a 1-year warranty. These aren't crap, or I wouldn't be ordering a set too (I'm one of the three confirmed buyers).
-Jeff

[devonkyle77]

im interested in 6500k h1 kit..one question. what bulbs do u run in ur corner lamps to match the hid color?(s14 kouki)

[pgt892]

I am also interested in a H1 6500K kit.

[SilviaDriver]

who makes the ballast, bulbs and ignitor?

[devonkyle77]

you know how the back of the headlight housing u have to unscrew that cap to get to the bulbs, you just drill a large hole in that to put the hid bulb through right? what keeps moisture out of the headlight then?

[MrSkinny]

put me down for a set of 6500 h4

[S14DB]

My friend will be geting back to me as these(H1) will fit his 04 WRX.

[Jeff240sx]

New pics!
http://jeff.obhost.net/filestorage/lights/HID/top.JPG
http://jeff.obhost.net/filestorage/lights/HID/beam.JPG

And because this looks cool
http://jeff.obhost.net/filestorage/lights/HID/cool.JPG

Please, these pics don't do this justice. My 2.1mp camera is on it's last legs, and taking pics like a picture phone.

That is Sean's Tahoe with the 8500k kit installed.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

My friend will be geting back to me as these(H1) will fit his 04 WRX.

Keep in mind that I can get nearly any socket. 9000 series (9004, 9005, 9006, 9007) and H series (H1, H3, H4, H7). I just posted the H1 because they're for s14a and s13 silvia front ends, and H4 for us Zenkis.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

you know how the back of the headlight housing u have to unscrew that cap to get to the bulbs, you just drill a large hole in that to put the hid bulb through right? what keeps moisture out of the headlight then?

You don't drill anything. It uses the same mounting as stock bulbs. And for normal s13s, you'll need a conversion kit. I'll do something for you guys, too :)
-Jeff

[devonkyle77]

do u understand my question though? a regular bulb doesnt have wires attatched, u just drop it in...but the hid has the wires running to ignitor and stuff attatched, so how do u get that through?

[SilviaDriver]

pics showing the color isnt accurate. you HAVE to take pics of the beam pattern to see weather it has glare, most likely, or not.

[devonkyle77]

i had a hanabi 8000k hid kit before, and the hole in the little screw cap over where the bulb goes had to be made larger via a dremel to get the wires in

[Jeff240sx]

I have 8 in for sure. 6 interested.
I will accept the first 50% now.
Please PM me with how you will pay. Paypal payments please add 3% to the total. I will pm you back with my paypal info, or address for paper payments.
Thanks!
-Jeff

[kandyflip445]

I'm in. 7500k H4.

[Jeff240sx]

do u understand my question though? a regular bulb doesnt have wires attatched, u just drop it in...but the hid has the wires running to ignitor and stuff attatched, so how do u get that through?

A regular bulb has the harness going to it. This simply has it's own harness going to it. There was no drilling on the Tahoe install.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

pics showing the color isnt accurate. you HAVE to take pics of the beam pattern to see weather it has glare, most likely, or not.

I sent you a PM. I really want to show as much as I can about these lights, so could you give some tips on taking those pics. Like position, aim, ect. I'll be snagging a friend's camera next time, too. Like I said, my camera is beat.
-Jeff

[usdms14]

im in for a set

[Jeff240sx]

im in for a set

Bulb? Color temp?
-Jeff

[eyustfu]

how many people are in on the buy now?

[Jeff240sx]

USDMs14 makes 9 in.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

http://www.gaontrading.com/file/Installation%20Manual.pdf

I wasn't thinking hole saw as drilling or dremeling. You do need a holesaw, and those are the instructions that will come with the kit.
-Jeff

[S14DB]

It's not that hard! Trust me. I'll post some pics when I get home and find them.

[Project_dwnshft]

can you get size 9006 bulb kits??? or is this just for h4 and h1???

[Jeff240sx]

I can get every socket, including 9006.
-Jeff

[Dr. Moreau]

How would these fit my s13 fastback? Can u explain a "conversion"? I don't understand what you mean exactly.

[Jeff240sx]

s15 front ends are H1 low beams and 9005 high beams.
-Jeff

[TUnity2]

How would these fit my s13 fastback? Can u explain a "conversion"? I don't understand what you mean exactly.
Hey squirrel, i know you have those diamond housing replacment headlights, and i believe those use H4's, so you can get the H4 HID kit.

[Dr. Moreau]

yea but i need new ones anyway
one's cracked down the middle and moisture is getting in. i believe they are 9003 bulbs tho.

[MasterOFDrift]

hey count me in as a definite.

i pm'ed you with some questions

[kurenai]

make me #10 (or n+1)
h4 6500k please

{edit: changed my mind on colour temp)

[nokuntrol]

waiting for paypal amount.

damn, you think we can reach 20+ on this GB?

[upSLIDEdown]

I might be interested also, if you can get some pics of beam patterns...etc. Also, I have a 92 Fastback with pop-ups and conversions, but I'll be needing some new conversions. With the H4 HID's/conversions, I will lose my high beams though, correct? Or can you get the HI/LO bulbs?

Thanks in advance,
Bryan

[S14DB]

I forgot how crappy these photos were:
PIAA(4500K claimed) vs. HID(6500K). The HIDs made the $80 PIAA's look like shitty fog light bulbs.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/S14DB/240sx/HID/PIAAvsHID.jpg
Beam pattern. The ground is pitch black but the HID was making all the oils on the pavement fluoresce it was wild to see.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v108/S14DB/240sx/HID/HIDnight9.jpg
I really need to take some better shots with the newer camera. I forgot how old these were.

[devonkyle77]

ok thanks for answering the hole cutting ?, now what about matching the color of the hid on my corner lamps(s14 kouki)

[S14DB]

Those are white(blue) bulbs in there now. I'm looking for some LED's. I don't care enough to find some cause the cops around here don't know that the corners are clear stock and I've gotten some heat before. I can't find me install pics for the life of me. It's not as hard as it seems. just a 1 1/4" hole in the cap.

[usdms14]

im in for a set for H1 6500k

[devonkyle77]

s14db, this is the kit u have?

Generally H4 bulbs are dual filament (they're high/low in the same bulb). I'll double check on this though.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

There's 11 total. 5 have talked to me about payment via PM and have all been replied to.

[sr420det]

what size would fit a s13 front end with dual projectors?

[Jeff240sx]

Dual projectors as in silvia front end? Then those would be H1.
-Jeff

pm me the info for payment too

[Jeff240sx]

I don't sell them, and can't really recommend anywhere but Ebay or some other lighting store to get them. They're just H6054 sealed beam to H4 conversions.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

That's just some random kit S14DB owns. Someone asked for pics of the H1 in Kouki projectors, and that's the best we could come up with.

Same type of kit. Different stickers on the boxes. I swear they are the same cause the boxes, packaging is all the same. I think people just rebrand them.

[KiDyNomiTe]

Jeff, mine is going to be a 7500K

[nissan_driver24]

i'm down for sure.... H4 6500K

[upSLIDEdown]

Do we know yet whether the H4 kit is a HI/LO kit or just Low Beams, cause I've seen them made both ways. Let me know ASAP...

Thanks in advance,

hey jeff...i was wondering if you can confirm if the dual projectors on the s13 front end is h1 bulbs?..cause i couldve sworn theyre h3c?...thanks in advance...

[xVaporx]

Jeff, IM me or gimme a buzz, I'm very interested, I will deliver $$ local

[Jeff240sx]

hey jeff...i was wondering if you can confirm if the dual projectors on the s13 front end is h1 bulbs?..cause i couldve sworn theyre h3c?...thanks in advance...

The foglights are the H3c and the others are H1 to the best of my knowledge. You guys need to do the confirming yourself by pulling one out, snapping a picture, and posting it or going to the autoparts store and finding a mate for it. I only have a '96, so I can only tell you what a '95-'98 take with 100% certainty. I have replaced a friends s15 and s13 silvia bulbs, both of which were H1. But you should really never buy stuff based on one guy's experiences.

[silvia lover]

i'm interested in a pair of h4 7500k for jdm zenki headlight, but the thing is should i change my high beams to hid as well? b/c the jdm housing have seperate high and low beams bulbs. thz, oh, can you give me the info of where to send the payment by money order? thz

[WILDACEX187]

You should keep your High Beams halogen. Cause HID's take a while to light off and you want the instant on of the halogen to flash your high beams.

[nokuntrol]

add 3 more people to that list. when do we have to pay and how many people are in this so far???


you pay the first 50% now. The list of people who have paid are listed on page one.

e-mail or PM Jeff240sx for payment info.

[Jeff240sx]

From the Archives courtesy our JDM admin.
Here it is. If you search, you'll find this. If you don't search and just post a thread, I'll know.

Halogens:
Foglamps - H3c
Hi/Lo - H4

Dual Projectors:
Lowbeams - H3c
Highbeams - H3
Foglamps - H3c

Triple Projectors:
Lowbeams - H1
Highbeams - H3
Foglamps - H3c

I replaced the triple projector version, hence my claim of H1.
h3c, only avail in japan.. not worth the cost, you can just throw in an H3 and modify the wiring to work.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

Everyone needs to check their PMs and Emails. I have 15 unread PMs, and I've sent out messages to everyone who has asked.
Based on this info, we'd have 18. As far as I care, I have money from 3, and a "check in the mail". Remember guys, if you are sending paper payments, I'm going to stop accepting them after Dec 1, because if they're not in my hand on the morning of Dec 6th, I'm going to cash them, and write a check for the payment minus $.37 for the stamp, and mail it back to you. Please hurry if you will be sending paper payments.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

Do we know yet whether the H4 kit is a HI/LO kit or just Low Beams, cause I've seen them made both ways. Let me know ASAP...

I can get them both ways. There might be a slight surcharge on the hi/low combo bulbs ($10). I won't know until I order them.
-Jeff

[Tenchuu]

Count Me in for a set of 7500 HIDs for a 98 240sx (zenki) PM sent

[Jeff240sx]

7 days to get your payments to me. I have 17 that say they're in. I have 3 who have paid.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

5 days to get the money to me. If I only have these 4 payments, this isn't going down.
-Jeff

[dct223]

awwwwww common people! pay up! so we can get this GB going! i just payed today, and i had a bunch of other payments i had to take care of.. like transfer applications, and signing up for spring classes....

[Tenchuu]

Just Payed for My Kit. That's another paid for the Group Buy.

[Jeff240sx]

Got it Tenchuu. Looks like you lazy bastidges are gonna make me PM like a dozen people who've previously claimed to be "in".
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

Got another payment, and a second one is in the mail. As of today, if you need to send paper payments, you HAVE to send it 3-day mail. I'm specific about that, because letters are taking up to a week regular mail, due to the upcomming holidays.
I think I've PM/Emailed everyone who has claimed to be "in" or those who were interested.
-Jeff

[nokuntrol]

what's the word on the GB?
Are we still doing it? or are you still waiting for mail payments to come in?

[kurenai]

just paypal'd my deposit.
h4 6500k's :)

[Jeff240sx]

There's one in the mail. I'll end up buying a set so I think we're good.
-Jeff

[eyustfu]

how many people paid so far thats comfimed?

[Jeff240sx]

9 people have paid. I just got the one that was in the mail and added it to the list.
-Jeff

[publicenemy137]

I am very interested. I will probably pay by tomorrow . Hmm, which one is most simiilar to Audi's headlights? I love the Audi's hi-Ds, those or the TLs which are pretty nice also. Also why does it say that you are banned?

[Jeff240sx]

I'd say 6500k, becuase it's very blue. Purple is closer to 8500k.
My paypal address is [email protected] and the deposit is $139.50 due Sunday.
And me bieng banned is an inside joke. I'm a mod here.
-Jeff

[kandyflip445]

If you read through that link they say the blueness is due to the cut off/prismatic effect of the projector housings. The bulb is *usually* 4100k.

I'd say 6500k, becuase it's very blue. Purple is closer to 8500k.
My paypal address is [email protected] and the deposit is $139.50 due Sunday.
And me bieng banned is an inside joke. I'm a mod here.
-Jeff

lol i was worried you were scamming people or something and got banned. Hmm, still dunno if I should go 4100k or 6500k. What are the differences? I am getting this for a zenki 95 240. It's not super blue but it's bluish like the TL's and BMW's xenon lights correct? And once I find this out, will definetly paypal you for a set :naughty:

EDIT: read this: http://www.intellexual.net/hid.html#quickover good stuff. It says the most anyone should go is 4100k b/c that is most like daylight and anything higher will fatigue on your eyes and isn't beneficial. They said the prism effect of Audis are from the lenses, which I want. Damnit, looks like I'm not getting that. Hmm, hard decision though, 4100k or 6500k. Anyone know which has better visibility at night? Looks better?

[kandyflip445]

Well go to the link posted on page 2. The group buy ends on Dec. 5!

[publicenemy137]

damnit, really not sure what to do. Did more research, and this doesn't come with the interal with a balast starter. but I read that external starters may give problems in the future more likely than internals, is this a good company?

[NinjaGaiden]

Jeff,

put me down for

H1
8500K

I just paypal-ed you.

Gave you a PM too.

[Jeff240sx]

Group buy closed. I will use this thread to contact members as a whole. Please do not expect to hear anything from me until 6 January 2005.
-Jeff

[nokuntrol]

bump before thread dies.

[KiDyNomiTe]

bump before thread dies.
threads don't die... he said he would report by the 6th... I would only assume he can go to page 2 for it.

[Jeff240sx]

threads don't die... he said he would report by the 6th... I would only assume he can go to page 2 for it.

Thanks. And I got a PM about this.

I told you guys.. this is comming from overseas, so I know only slightly more than you guys. Last I talked to my supplier, his shipment would be "A week or so."
You all need to know that I didn't realize that when I said 30 days... Christmas was in between. This will probably cause a slight delay, but this is only speculation.
Also.. keep in mind.. I recieved $1750 (someone owes me $5 :P ). I paid $3380 out of my pocket. The remaining $130 is for shipping. But I have more money of my own invested in this buy than all of you combined. So please, if the shipment is delayed a bit, bear with me. And I'll update this thread when I get something useful to add. Until then, please don't bump it or PM me.
Thanks!
-Jeff

[kandyflip445]

(someone owes me $5 :P ).
-Jeff

:duh: It was me!!! :fawkd:

[Jeff240sx]

Ok. The dealer told me that it was shipped DHL air yesterday, and typically takes a week to get here. I'll keep you guys up to date.
-Jeff

[nokuntrol]

is there an update from your dealer?

[pgt892]

Bump for updates.

[usdms14]

yes updates please

[Jeff240sx]

Update: NFC. I'm told I'll have a tracking number on the DHL shipment next week. But.. I was told it shipped a while ago. So I'm not really sure.
Anyway, the dealer I'm going through is the guy I get my Ebay lights from, and I do ~$50k a year in business with him. I'm 100% sure he's not out to get me, however, this was the first order on HIDs, and I'm sure it will be the last from that company/supplier (who I am in the dark on..).
So.. once I hear something concrete (like the tracking number, or the call saying it cleared customs), I'll post it. Until then, it's hearsay, from the dealer telling me what the manufacturer told him. And it seems to always be the same thing. Which is the reason I haven't updated.
Anyway, both my dealer and I are really pissed about this massive delay.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

Ok. DHL says they have it at the port (in Florida) and are awaiting customs. I'm told tomorrow, Wednesday at the latest they'll deliver it to my door.
So. I feel ok to accept the remaining 1/2 payments.
PM/Email me if you have any questions. Otherwise, please send the remaining $135 ($145 for you who ordered 4200K) to me. I'll be shipping these in batches of 5, in order to cut down fuel costs of going to the post office (remember, I make $10 - shipping charges). I just don't want to make 13 trips to the post office for 13 consecutive days.
-Jeff

[usdms14]

send me your paypal account info agian

[KiDyNomiTe]

Ya whats your paypal, and are you just shipping with basic?

[Jeff240sx]

[email protected] is my paypal info.

Am I shipping with "basic"? If you need rush shipping (as I said.. I don't have these in my hands, but according to DHL, I will this week), let me know and I'll get a quote for you.
-Jeff

[kandyflip445]

Can you PM you your addy again so I can send you another MO. I owe you 140 don't I?

[Jeff240sx]

Sure and yes.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

Guys. Please remember that the $135 is without a paypal fee. The total via paypal is $139.50, and $149.90 for those of you who ordered 4200K.
I've recieved 2 payents so. Those people need to send another $4.50.
Finally, please ENSURE THAT THE PAYPAL ADDRESS IS THE CORRECT SHIPPING ADDRESS!! That's really important. If not.. UPDATE YOUR PAYPAL ADDRESS! Checks should have the the shipping address on the envelope, or better.. on a separate page.
-Jeff

[silvia lover]

just curious are you ship it out by priority mail when someone mentioned basic (which i use priority for any of my packages). and are you start ship out the hid by this coming wednesday or thursday? many question but hope you can answer it. thz and have a good day.

[Jeff240sx]

I don't know when I'll ship. When I get the lights, I'll ship 5 at a time. I think first class postal is what I'll use. Priority is twice as much, and usually 2-3 days rather than 3-5. So.. it's not twice as fast.. I won't pay twice as much.
-Jeff

[MasterOFDrift]

payment sent. thanks

[Jeff240sx]

IN STOCK!! WOOOOOOOT!
I've got them in my apartment. So.. comming Thursday, I'll ship out the first batch. I have 5 people paid in full, but I have 2 tests today, and a class schedule tomorrow where I get out of class after the post office closes.
-Jeff

[KiDyNomiTe]

All money should be sent now for me.

[silvia lover]

the rest of the payment had been sent. let me know when you ship it. thz (hope you can ship more than 5 on thursday ^_^)

[Tenchuu]

I just sent the rest of my payment. I wish gettimg my motor shipped over to US was this easy.

[Jeff240sx]

Tenchuu.. what's your email address?
I guess I should ask people to put their Zilvia.net user ID in the paypal "note" section, also.
Thanks guys!
-Jeff

[pgt892]

My email was thealdogg (at) yahoo.com

[kandyflip445]

[nokuntrol]

I sent payment.
id was [email protected]

Ken

[usdms14]

sent you payment

[NinjaGaiden]

just sent payment under [email protected]

thanks!

[Jeff240sx]

Got it. I just got a chance to open the DHL box, and they're Kaixen kits. These kits are more expensive usually (i.e. not sold on ebay), and from reading about them, people like them.
If you need info on these, check the groupbuy v2 thread. There is a pic, some tech specs from their site, and the new $290 shipped price. I got the Kaixen because that's who my dealer wanted to go through from now on, and apparently got an intro special (the $260/set this gb was set upon).
Anyway, I've emailed everyone whose paid. I just want to let other people know.
If this change isn't acceptable, and you are dead-set on XD7 bulbs, PM me or email me. Please don't crap up my thread.
-Jeff

[kandyflip445]

My e-mail is [email protected] So you only got those 3 color temps?

[CO S13]

I'm sending out my payment today.

[Jeff240sx]

My e-mail is [email protected] So you only got those 3 color temps?

4 temps. I just can't count.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

What a pain in the ass this has turned out to be. I was boxing up these lights and then saw a pretty big issue:
The manufacturers are apparently allowed to make up their own color temperatures, and colors that go with it. So, XD7 called 8500k purple, and 6500k blue. This is incorrect to any other company, and so the Kaixen are backwards. This means that the 8500k kit will be blue (Crystal Blue). And conversely, the 6500k will be purple (Crystal Purple) So, not wanting anyone to be upset, I'm offering to order a new set of HIDs for you. Before you answer, look at:

http://www.kaixen.se/kaixen_ljusreferens.jpg
http://www.kaixen.se/kaixen_colortest.jpg

If you've had a change of mind and want to keep your 8500K (blue) bulbs, email me and let me know. However, if you want the purple 6500K, email me. Once I place the order, it's a 1 week turnaround time from Kaixen (another reason we went with them).

Also, for those who ordered 4200K. Kaixen doesn't make 4000k anything. 6000K is as low as they go (see pic above). It's called Crystal White. And didn't cost me the extra $10, so if you want a refund, you'll get everything back. If you want the 6000K, I owe you $10.30.
So. If those who ordered 4200K, if 6000K is unacceptable, I can only refund your money. Those who ordered purple 8500K, I was shipped blue 8500K. Part of this is my fault, as my dealer told me he had 8500K in his Tahoe, however, I'm colorblind, and assumed it was purple. It's blue according to him and my g/f. But the 8500/6500 switchup, let me know the step you'd like me to take. I can ship out the opposite color, or if you're willing to wait a week, I can order the correct set.
Those of you with 7500K, I'm shipping out Monday after class. Goddamn what a headache.
-Jeff

[kandyflip445]

Yaaaay. I'm getting mine first :p

[Jeff240sx]

Yaaaay. I'm getting mine first :p

LOL!
That's not nice.
However, I did get your Money Order today. Just letting you know.
-Jeff

[silvia lover]

just curious you mentioned the 6000k are crystal white, but somehow on the pic you posted, the 6000k looks really similiar to 6500k (which kind of purplish to me). do you happen to have any pic of the 6000k? really appreciate that.

[silvia lover]

correct me if i'm wrong, i searched and the one called crystal white is 7000k, not the 6000k. i'm wondering can you post up the kaixen website? (because i didn't come across it when i searched. really appreciate that).

[Jeff240sx]

Kaixen website is:
http://www.kaixen.se/enindex.htm

The side of the box is where I'm getting my information, and my current digicam died, and I can't get pics off my Moto Razr.. so.. until my new camera gets in (UPS says Monday, hooray!), I can't post a pic of the box with the colors and temps.
-Jeff

[usdms14]

nevermind ill take the 6500k

[Jeff240sx]

Hey Jeff,

I asked for a refund and you only gave me half of the total amount i gave you.
I don't care if it was passed 60 days. You changed the product to something completely DIFFERENT. You can't even sell me the 4200K kit i asked for. And you changed to this other product AFTER 60 days. It was your delay and you are trying to sell me something completely different. No dude. No dice.

This is bullshit. I don't want 6500K bulbs when I ordered 4200K.

Now. Read your fucking emails thoroughly. Check your fucking paypal account. But DON'T send me emails cursing at me and DON'T come on Zilvia and attempt to marr my name when I did everything correctly, and promptly.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

USDMS14, please check PMs and Email.
PGT892, please check Email.
-Jeff

[nokuntrol]

All you wrote to me in the "paypal note" was that you could only refund me 1/2 and that it was past 60 for a refund of the 1/2.
What do you think i'm supposed to think?

[Jeff240sx]

I think you're supposed read the two emails from paypal stating that you were paid and refunded in 2 separate steps, possibly email me AND WAIT FOR A REPLY, check your paypal balance. You know.. things normal people would do before crying "Thief", attempting to damage a reputation, and creating a state of unease for the others involved here.
-Jeff

[Jeff240sx]

All are packaged except the following:
CO S13. PGT 892.
CO S13 has a PM waiting, PGT has a PM and Email.

These will be dropped off at 3pm tomorrow afternoon, after my Statistics test. I will post tomorrow afternoon confirming, but I wouldn't give an exact time unless I can make it +/- 30 minutes.

jeff how much more for a extra set of blubs?

When someone's got these installed, can they post pictures of how they look (with beam-cutoff picks and such) on our cars?

define our cars? S13 will prolly have a very crappy one, but S14 should be good, and s13 silvia front.

[kandyflip445]

define our cars? S13 will prolly have a very crappy one, but S14 should be good, and s13 silvia front.

Why must you make fun of my s13 :cry:

At least ours are on the way...unlike some people. :fawk:

[Jeff240sx]

Everyone's got shipped on the same day :P
Anyway, the cutoff for s13s will really depend on the H4 conversion you guys bought. Autozone sealed beam conversion will suck. Raybrig doesn't look good either. I've heard that Hella or any E-code housings are perfect.
-Jeff

[KiDyNomiTe]

Why must you make fun of my s13 :cry:

At least ours are on the way...unlike some people. :fawk:
lol, I have an S13 too, but its only the truth. H4s aren't the greates things for HIDs. My friend has some 12000K (but he thinks they are just some 10000K and they lied), on his Z31, they are bright and all but cutoff sucks, his S13 with Silvia front has 8000K and has a good cutoff too.

Anyone ever tried these dealies with HIDs
http://store1.yimg.com/I/motorwings_1824_4127838

They are butt ugly but at least has a projector in it. My friend has them for his Hachi, but no HIDs, and its sitting in a shop so haven're really been able to see light output.

[kandyflip445]

Got mine in and installed. I'll write a review after tonight. I'll take some pictures, hopefully.

[KiDyNomiTe]

Got mine yesterday, but too bad my car is down and at some shop so no idea when I am getting it back :(

[KiDyNomiTe]

well i went to put in mine today easy install, suprisingly it has very good cutoff, but I guess thats more of a projector thing. Only problem I am having is figuring out where to put the ballast. I only put in the passenger side one right now and the battery is in the way for most spots, and I have no fender liner so quite a bit of water comes in b/w the fender and battery. Any sugestions on where to put it? Driver side has a lot of room so that shouldn't be hard.

Also the rubber boot thing on my headlights doesn't really work cuz it won't come off of the plug, any suggestions on what to do to cover the bulb.

Pics will come thursday or friday once I get my camera from my friend.

[Jeff240sx]

If you really have no place to put it.. you can cut and extend the wires. Provided you do it correctly on the harness.. you shouldn't have issues. Don't do it on the ballast or bulb side, as you will probably void the warranty. However, making some connectors and extending, or just cut/solder/shrink wrap on the intermediate harness seems like it'd be safe.
-Jeff

[dct223]

Got my kit in today... I know i shouldnt have installed them cus i got 2 tests tomorrow.. but it was just too damn distracting not to... Great kit, and easy install.. I will also be writing a writeup/review of my install after this week.

thanks jeff

Davis

[silvia lover]

damnit, received the kit today, and so excited about it so i went ahead install it. no problem or what so ever, but when i turned the headlights on, damn. one of the burner gone, yup gone(it made some sparking noise but it just won't turn on, and i checked the fuses so many times but no luck). i like what the... so, jeff, do i have to send you the defect burner to you or you can get a replacement for me? i love this kit but somehow it just gone bad on me >_< tough luck for sure.

[kandyflip445]

I put the passenger side ballast in front of the battery. Take it out and mount it and put the battery back in. I used the factory hole for the harness. To get the boots on you have to cut the middle out and just push it all the way on. Don't worry about having the connections uncovered. You can use electrical tape or, I think you can get heat shrink tape at a electrical supply store. I dunno why they designed the plug like they did for the H4...It seems REALLY stupid the way it is. But I'm enjoying my kit. I may want some 6k bulbs later though. The blue looks great from outside but I think I'd rather have white light to drive.

[dct223]

i mounted both ballists behind the front bumper support right where where the hood latch is on my s14. Yea for sure im loving my 6000k kit, looking to maybe do some kind of projector retrofit one day, but yea not now, im too busy and poor =P

are you sure you didnt touch the bulb?

[Jeff240sx]

I'm sure he touched the bulbs, but I'm working on getting a new pair for him. I'm sure because I watched someone install a set of HIDs, touch the bulb, and the exact same thing happened. Silvia Lover - I'll have an answer for you later tonight, but I'm thinking he'll just send me a replacement, no questions asked.
-Jeff

[usdms14]

hey jeff can i have my tracking number??

[silvia lover]

why people always assumed the other before they describe the situation? first thing, i have never tough the bulb at all. second, it make some weird sparking sound when i tried to turn on the headlight. the other work just fine though. third, i have the damn plastic cover on the whole time before i put the bulb into the house, even tested out the bulb before put it in (yup, it worked before i put into the housing with the sparking noise i don't know where it came from). don't know what to say but tough luck. let me know what you've find out jeff. thz for your help for sure.

Thanks got it in and fine. I ended up just putting the passenger side one on the bumper support and feeding the wires up. The driver side I just fed it through the hole behind the light and stuck the ballast to the wheel arch. Cut the rubber thing and taped it back up and on.

There is no need on this kit (at least for s13) to cut any size hole into your headlight like the instructions say. And I am not sure what if anythign that extra plug thing does. My headlights worked with it in and with it off.

im guessing the extra plug thing ur talking about is the crossover plug... thats strange that they both work...

Ehh.. the only time I've heard of that sparking/buzzing sound was when the bulb got touched. Anyway, there will be a new bulb (maybe bulbs) in my next shipment, so about a week or so.
-Jeff

[pgt892]

Hey Jeff,
Mark me down for one new bulb also. I tried to install them tonight and the driver side works, but the passenger doesn't. I switched the ballasts to make sure that wasn't the problem and sure enough it is the bulb. Also, before anyone says it, I was wearing latex gloves throughout the entire process and even still I didn't touch either bulb. So let me know what needs to be done to get a replacement. I am driving with the HID on the driverside and a Silverstar on the passenger side. Man that Silverstar used to look white but now it looks a dingy yellow when compared to the HID. Thanks in advance, Alex.

Edit: H1 6000k

[KiDyNomiTe]

did you mess with the the crossover wire thing. Mine didnt work at first, but after replugging things and using the crossover and not using it, it worked.

[pgt892]

did you mess with the the crossover wire thing. Mine didnt work at first, but after replugging things and using the crossover and not using it, it worked.
Yeah, I tried it both with and without the crossover and with either ballast. I think I just got a bad bulb.

[Jeff240sx]

It's comming with my order. He's never had this happen (2 of 15 sets with a bad bulb), and suspects freight damage.

Ok, thanks for the heads up. Jeff, in the future, can we order replacement bulbs from you, or do we need to go to the company directly? Also, what is the general life expectancy of these bulbs? Thanks, Alex.

[Jeff240sx]

Bulbs are 2000 hours. You can order bulbs through me, but they're cheaper to get elsewhere (unless I'm ordering more stuff), because shipping on a set of bulbs alone is ~$40 from overseas. However, if I order a bulk quantity, I can get them for about 1/2 what other bulbs cost.
Seeing as there are so many bulbs and colors, I really can't have that many bulbs laying around my house. It would tie up $3k easy.

Hey Jeff,
Just wondering if you got your replacement bulbs in yet? I still need to get one. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but the bulbs we use in the Kaixen HID setup are not the same as traditional HID bulbs (D2S, D2R) so we pretty much have to use Kaixen bulbs as other bulbs won't work with this setup? Thanks, Alex.

[kandyflip445]

If you touch the bulb use a lint free cloth with alcohol. Then never touch the bulb again.

[SilviaDriver]

there you go. lint free with alcohol. i had a feeling it would be with alcohol, but didnt want to give misinformation unless i was sure. this is the same when/if you touch projector headlights.

[Jeff240sx]

Touching the bulb leaves an oil on your hand, which expands/contracts/heats at a different rate than glass. Anyone who has been in a Chem lab knows what happens when glass heats and contracts at high rates.
Yes, alcohol will remove the oil on your bulb, and everyone is happy. The alcohol itself evaporates very quickly.
That said, I said it was a defective bulb. And have another on teh way. My stuff will be here Wednesday, and have the replacement bulbs.
As far as the defect rate.. the Kaixen guy says he has less than 1 in 1000. Now, that isn't 1 in 1 million, and I don't really care. However, 3 issues with 15 sets with a 1 in 1000 rate means this guy is lying, or there was shipping damage on the trip over, which I believe.
Quality kits? Name another company that gives a 1 year warranty on the burner. And knowing it costs $110 to ship a replacement over here.. and this is all at 1/2 the price that other companies charge. And less than even Ebay no-name kits.
I placed an order for a 9006 kit to go in my gf's car. And had I not sold the H4 I bought for my car, I'd run this kit also. I do have another H4 kit for my car on the way, so maybe I'll also get HIDs. I'm the guy with a $4k motor, a $3k turbo kit, a $2k stereo. I know price vs. performance. I don't believe that an immeasurable ammount of peace of mind gained by buying a better known brand is worth it. But you stuck up motherfuckers claiming quality over something you've never seen (silviadriver).. how can you possibly be believed? Your opinions mean nothing to me, due to lack of evidence and credibility. Kaixen comes within 1% (3150 vs 3200 lumens) compared to phillips bulbs at 6000k.
Anyway, get the fuck out of my thread silviadriver. You didn't buy anything, and comming here and badmouthing what I sell (which I sell on ebay for $350/set + shipping all day long), is pitiful. Go claim quality issues, and when my kits Then propping the stats on "your kit". Go fist yourself, even if I weren't a mod, and this weren't my thread, I'm jump on you for posting that.
That said, I'm out. PM me if you need anything.

Hey Jeff,
Just wondering if you got your replacement bulbs in yet? I still need to get one. Also, correct me if I am wrong, but the bulbs we use in the Kaixen HID setup are not the same as traditional HID bulbs (D2S, D2R) so we pretty much have to use Kaixen bulbs as other bulbs won't work with this setup? Thanks, Alex.

As stated, Wednesday (maybe up to a couple day delay due to customs, but not probable) is when I expect to get my kits, and replacement parts (including your bulb).
Also, a replacement bulb is a replacement bulb. The S and R don't factor into that equation.

Jeff,
Everything sounds good. Thanks for getting the replacement bulb for me. On a positive note I really like my driver's side bulb, it looks great. Also, I replaced my cornerlights with white LEDs and the color really goes great with the new headlamps.

Thanks for the update.

[pgt892]

I received my replacement bulb on 2/26 (Sat). Thanks for getting it out to me Jeff, I appreciate it.

you can touch the bulb all you want, just clean it up with alcohol and cotton swab before firing it up

I didn't read through all of the thread, just the 1st few post and last few post.

I have owned 5 sets of hids on 3 different cars and from my opinion, the only real way to go is name brand such as hella, osram, phillips... etc

off brand are often made with lesser quality, mainly the ballast that cease to function after 6 months
