I understand your skepticism, but we have our own manufacturing plant, and the reason you see reputable companies selling the kits starting at $200 is because every middleman it goes through tacs on another $20 for their own profit.

The "brand" always make things more expensive even if it's the same product. Of course there are exceptions, but in the auto industry, not many reputable companies own their own manufacturing plants as it's a higher cost for them then just private labeling.

Since our HID kits are no labeled, many large distributors actually private labels these and sell them at twice the cost.

Thanks for your comment though, hope I was some help.

Guys. not sure what everyone anticipates, but I have lots of free time on my hands these days. I have a Fedex commercial account and don't mind at all using it to help everyone out.
Shouldn't cost more than $10 to ship each kit. Also, 2-3day Fl;at rate box should be big enough to fit a single kit in. Cost is $9.75

Yeah, usually the more it costs the better it is.

Would you put a $25 cam in your motor or buy a $150 60" LCD TV?

Also, Ferrari's spank Vipers all day everyday on the track. Hell, even a Z06 can.

A. ) The only difference between our bulbs and theirs is the price. The ones people sell for $200 is that we own our own manufacturing plant therefore you pay the price with no middleman profits, let me explain an example of how a kit can get to $200

(1.) Manufacturing sells at $60 for example
(2.) Distributors adds $30 (sells for $90 to wholesalers)
(3.) Wholesalers adds $30 (sells for $120 to Resellers)
(4.) Resellers adds $30 (Sells for $150 to Retailers)
(5.) Retailers adds $30 - $50 (Sells for $200 to individual)

That's also the reason why retailers can have specials like (15% off specials)



B.) Bi-xenon means that both your HI beam and Low beam are both HIDs.
So when you go to Hi BEAM it will be more clear than the halogens most people have.


C.) You can go to
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/

to look for what fog bulb types your car uses. Most of our HID kits works for the fog lights too if you want to change them.


Let me know if you have more questions, always here to help.

I have projector housings, Use H1 bulbs. I would also like to put brights in, I mean real brights, Is that Bi-xenon? I realize flashing is out because there is a bit of warm up time. But If I go offroad in the woods, I want to see what im am looking after. I think what I am wanting is the ability to light up the "Brights bulbs" and projectors at the same time.

Also what bulbs are the factory fogs using? As when I do this im upgrading these fogs to.

Thanks guys for any help you can give me.
