Got my Kit installed last night. With the help of the how-to's found on this site, the install only took me 2.5hrs from start to finish....and that included taking a ton of pics and a drive around the neighborhood.

The quality ofthe kit is great, not to mention the awesome price. The output is great a HUGE improvement over stock. Although now the bumper fogs look goofy being very yellow in comparison.

Thanks to Oliver and XenonExpert for the great deal!!!

I got the 4500K 35w kit. The wife LOVE's it!!!!

Thanks! :D We aim to please!

Now all you need is the HIDMatch halogen bulbs for your fogs so they will be white ;)

Just wanted to say, finally got my kit installed last night.

One of the bulbs had come out of its protective case in transit, but didn't seem broken. Installed it, and yup, not broken.

The difference between the 4500k kit and stock is AMAZING.
Unfortunately now I feel the pull to replace all my bulbs with HID matched :(

Thanks Oliver!

is 4000k the only color you have for h3 bulbs? can you get 2500k or similar? Not many ppl offer a lifetime warranty with bulbs :)

yup, i meant the halogens. Do you know when they will be on the site? :D

Also, is there any kind of combined shipping offer if I were to get both an HID kit and the H3 bulbs?

Alright Oliver , I'm right on the edge of buying .. cash is there !

Now the fact I'm in Montreal and I have no one to verify with in person that has a 6000K kit , except you Oliver :yesnod: I would like to drop by your place to check out your M3 6000Ks for color temp decision + Live output ! I'm just 15 minute drive from your address .... isn't that COOL !!!!? Lucky me :D
Now I'm torn between the 6000K and the 5000K .... : I do want some blue enough that it's not pure white ; but I would know better once I see your set-up Oliver

+ .... I know I want the 50w for the H1 , but not sure if adding a 50w kit for the H3 is just a waste and that the 35w would do just fine ? I'm leaning towards both 50w H1 + H3 just to be sure the first time . Any opinions anyone who have done either ? Also I've read you offer additional discount on buying two kits + the fact Christmas is around the corner heheh ! :D

Other question would be for the H3 . Now a lot of talk here on the metal cut-off thingy for the H1 - removal for glare purposes . I know with the 50w I won't have a choice to remove it . But what about the H3 - any glare deflector in there ? - 'cause I haven't seen anyone write up on the subject !

Now it will be coming with two wire harnesses (50w kits) . Most don't use it . Heck we have 55w OEM powered Halogens on the 6 . That's fine . But what about when the balasts do ignite at start point ? They do draw more , than their continuous power-draw afterwards ? To ignite the Gas-Filled bulbs I'm told that there is more current drawned . Is that true .... gotta think the harness is a safety factor when considering all our stock harness could fry . Is this founded or not ?

Now here's a neat trick that vulgar_si has relayed to me and I thought I'd share it with any who's interested . We all know flash-to pass high beams - turning on/off the Highs more than once is detrimental to the balasts ! See shortened lifespan . Well Vulgar told me the following to give me an idea (I have more details for those interested you can PM me)

The wire harness I built. I got a relay a couple of fuses and some wire and made the whole thing. If you run a harness then you have a seperate power wire for the low beams and high beams. The high beam power would be the stock wires. That means when you press your high beams the power isn't cut to your low beams, because it is running on its own power wires from the harness you made. Which means the low beams don't turn off and therefor shouldn't be bad for them.
Its also really nice to have the extra light these HIDs coupled with the high beams. You can see everything.


Neat indeed ... now Guinea Pig is willing to help me disable the DRLs on my Canadian 6 .

If I could drop by Oliver to finalize the order with you in person it would be great to meet you & shake your hand + I have a sponsorship offer to discuss with you for the Montreal Mustang Club where I am a Moderator .

Check your PM & Email sent as well .

Exciting...just ordered a 5K kit today :ring:

How long does shipping usually take...say to NC?[/b]
normally 24-48 hours to ship but we've been a bit backlogged dure to the holidays and the tons of orders we received. It will ship any day now unless you already received a tracking number :)

I ordered this last week (6000k). Due to XenonExpert policies, item is shipped in 24-48 business hours. I also got the 2 day air shipping with my package (which was not worth the extra $25) so I thought it would be at my house in 2 days sharp. Although it did not arrive as quickly as I wanted to- the policy is, what it is. Overall; great product, item came as ordered, +1. Will do business with again in the future. Hope this helped.
