WTB: HID kit from eBay - or anyone offering similar

Hey,
I was planning on buying one of the following kits from eBay:

Canada HID Xenon Kit H1 H3 H4 H7 H11 H13 9004 9006 9007 - (eBay.ca item 260292413042 end time 26-Oct-08 04:15:25 EDT)

or

HID Conversion Kit H1 H3 H4 H7 H11 9003 9004 9005 9006 - (eBay.ca item 170271662491 end time 18-Oct-08 01:29:51 EDT)

are the ones in the 14000 K + range going to damage my housing?

Any opinions or better offers than eBay accepted!
Thanks!

first thing i would do is, if there for your headlights i wuld NEVER buy from a cheap ebay comp becouse if something would happen wail driving at night becouse of the cheap lights your screwed. i would say get the Xenith Xenons thay are one of the best kits your gonna get for the price and anyone you ask can vouch for this guy really great service fast shiping, i mean if anything goes wrong he will replace the part unlike ebay thay will tell you tough luck LOL. the web site is at Xenith Xenons - Superior Quality HIDs and World-Renowned Customer Service! See For Yourself Today! you can either go for the BI-xenons or just the low beam either are fine.

PS: and any temp above 8000k, the only way thay are gonna be damage to your car is you will not be able to see shit LOL after 8000k you lose alot of light, the HIDs start to turn into LEDs . but the way the HIDs run you will never burn anything up thay run really cool.

They are very good. I've had my kit for about a year and a half and they're still going strong. I got the 8000K. White with a little tint of blue.
^ For my DB8.

I'm planning on getting another set for my GE8. I'll talk to the owner and have him set up a group buy.

I was waiting on XenithXenon's group buy, but it looks like that one will not happen https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/merc...tml#post458196

Hopefully Xenon vision will do a group buy!

Hey thanks for the responds guys!

I looked into the Xenith Xenons as well as potentially gettin in on the group buy. I live in Canada though...so I dont know if thats an option for me.

If I do purchase off the website does it come with everything I need? I hear I need some sort of relay for them to work properly?

Also in terms of color temperature - 8000k and up loses visibility? if thats the case I wont be going higher than that...Anyone install the purple ish hue on their fit?

Seems most people on the forums have 6000K is this standard for the Xenith's? and that is a slight blue tinge correct?

thanks again all!

EDIT * also whats the difference between Bi Xenon and HI/LOW ?
thanks!

From what I've gathered, Hi-Low offers a Xenon HID for your lows and a halogen for the Hi's. Whereas the bi-xenon is Xenon for Hi's and Lows.

I'm not sure how the hi-low works in terms of bulbs and fitting in one socket, etc.

I know that's not very precise information but it's the best help I can provide with my current limited knowledge.

Good Luck!!

Yes, you're on the right track. Bi-xenon works as both high and low beams in a single bulbs. Which are usually found in the HB2/9003. Where as in single-beam HIDs, you would need a separate kit for both high and low beams.

I bought one of those supposedly "cheap" HID kits off Ebay (actually 2 of them...Heads and Fogs) and couldn't be happier! I was extremely impressed with the quality of the equipment I received (i.e. heavy-duty ballasts, flexible cable bale on the wiring, waterproof connectors, etc.), and they have performed flawlessly. I'm not saying that that's across the board...there are bound to be some really poor-quality products out there, but if you check people's feedback you should be ok.

Some are just convinced that paying more means they got a better product. Well $140 apiece for headlights and fogs is reasonable I guess...but I bought both my kits for approx $180. And the headlights were TRUE BI-XENON...not a Xenon low beam and halogen high beam. 6 months and going strong. Couldn't be happier!

Talking

Hey thanks for all the great info guys
I just made the purchase through xenith xenons - 6000k Bi xenons
after shipping to Canada it came to $197 US - which is what I was expecting to pay for a good quality / good customer service product.

Anyways - I will post some pics of the install and the post install.

BTW this is my first real upgrade to my fit other than getting the windows tinted - Im super excited!

Thanks again!
