So basically, I just installed my XX HID. It was 'supposely' 8000K but now, I'm not sure if its still 'break in' period, or they just sent me the wrong bulb.

Left: What seems to be 6000K
Right: My most educated guess would be 8000K, and this is the color I love. lol



I'm just choked it didn't turn out the way I thought it would, but I'm definitely most happy it's giving out good lighting and it's just plain awesome...on the right of course. lol

Sigh Choked.

 

looking guud ;] [thumbs up] to be honest, it ALMOST looks like my 7000k, but then again it probably is hard to tell the difference from 8000k and 7000k lol look on the bulb holding itself, might be labeled there.

 

Looks like 4300K on the left and 6000K (what I have now from XX)
weird.
Contact George about it he'll send a new bulb(s) for the color temp you wanted.

 

so this kit is pretty hot on this website
but has anyone ever had the kit installed and not go bad on them for over 2-3 years?
i have xetronics on my old car, but i just got a new fit. and i looking to get hids too. xetronics cost like 300-400. but these xenith brand kit is like only about 100. i want to give it a try. but has anyone had theirs for more than 2-3 years?
i had my xetronics for over 4 years and have no problem. my co worker has it over 6 years and no problems.

 

wtf? so you're telling me it's not 8000K for one of them??

 

are you serious? aint no way thats 4300k lol or 6000k. way off

 

It's different brand so different calculations. XX doesn't carry 7000K.

 

i kno, thats y im sayin its way off, because i kno the left is 8000k or higher because its blue-er than mine. and i say its not 4300k because it is juss a wee bit softer/whiter than mine

 

I'm pretty confident to say that the left is lower than 8000K and right is either 8000K or 6000K.

 

i kno the right isnt 6000k, because i have 7000k and mine is softer than that, there fore your right is more powerful than 7000k ;] hell ill come by and we can compare

 

 

fromt he front u cant tell the difference but when u look at what its reflecting off, yep, i still say right = 6000k (maybe 5000k?) and left = 8000k

 

lol. left can't be 8000K man. Even so, they're going to have to send me two new bulbs because I don't know which is which. They came with plastic caps that said 8000K so I don't think that means anything anymore.

 

oops, flip flop wat i said lol both of them said 8000k? huh... yea that calls for a whole new spankin new set

 

lol I thought you were comparing the old bulb to the new HID on the right :P Didn't realize both sides was installed...yea, send em back n atleast get the same temp :/

 

Sigh. Wherever you are George, godspeed and help me out please. I'm so frustrated and confused on what I should do.

Do you think I can return these 'Xenon Xenith" bulbs and purchase some HID bulbs locally? Like Js or Smarteye?

HID Outlet

 

I has my kit for almost two year never had a problem with it. plus with newer design of the kit it last longer and better usage of power...

break in period is about a few long session cycle.... and should turn stable afterward and then there is a warm up where the bulb may like different but afterward they are the same. Give a few more long cycle and it should be both the same temp.

Give him call tomorrow at 1626 617 9097 and I would not recommend mix company with other company bulbs and ballast.

 

im sorry...but all these new hids kits..are the SAME COMPANY...just different label stickers...i dont care what they say...all these new hids kidt that are going for 50-120 a kit..is all made by the same company..but different stickers are just put on it
you can believe what you want...but i got an offer from the hid company to put my own label on them
and many of my other sellers tell me the same thing too..its all the same thing
i know a lot of representatives are going to come here and bash on me..but of course they just defending their company. i dont blieve none of the bull shiet. take the label/sticker off. and all bulbs/ballast looks the same!!!!

 

Actually some company has different plugs!!! I have installed over a 100 kits over the years and some are different from each others.

 

Left is 6K right is 8K.
