HID Retrofit kit with projectors GP

I'm in the midst of a group purchase on HID retrofit kits that include projectors. The cheapest price for these I could find on ebay was $145 each, shipped from China.

WHAT? A complete HID w/ projectors retrofit kit. Kit includes ballasts, projectors, bulbs, harness, and mounting hardware. You will need to supply your own wire and connectors to interface with your car's electrical system. Pictures below.

Note that I am also able to place an order for a kit complete with projectors, bulbs, harness and hardware without ballasts for a slightly cheaper price as well. PM me if you are interested and I will inquire about availability and get you a price quote.

HOW MUCH? Price will be no more than $130-135 shipped to the lower 48 each, depending on the final number of kits ordered. Multiple kits sold per person will get a discount on shipping. Any international orders PM me for a quote with shipping.

WHEN? I'm setting the cut-off date for the first batch of orders for the end of this month. I'd expect the orders should be in before mid-late February, although I am not certain of date at this time. After I receive the kits it should be another 3-5 business days to your door. Who wants to install HIDs and projectors in the cold anyway? :tongue:
Any orders that are placed after the first "batch" has been fulfilled will be cued to a later date until the minimum order threshold is once again reached.

HOW? Let me know your preferences for each kit with one kit per line. Also be sure to include your zip code so I can get an accurate shipping total.
List the bulb type (for us MN12s it's 9007), angel eyes color (blue or white), and the bulb color temperature (4300, 6000, 8000k only for blue angel eyes, 5000, 6000 and 8000k only for white angel eyes).

Example:
9007, White, 5000k

I will contact the manufacturer when I have the final order ready on Feb. 1 and determine price for each person ordering when the manufacturer forwards me a total due. I will need full payment no later than Feb. 5th so I can place the order in an expedient fashion. It is essential that each person follow through with their orders otherwise price and availability of the group purchase may be affected for others. If you decide to cancel, I will need to know before the end of the day on January 31. I will accept paypal +3% as well as a postal money order. Shipping will be USPS Priority on my end and I will provide tracking information once I ship them.

What about that whole projected beam deal...you know, not blinding semis? That beam looks awfully high...

I know I was pulled over with 13.9 V going to a set of SS Ultras and was issued a fix it ticket because my lights were too bright and pointed too high. Illinois state cops are a b!tch

Those pics were of the "rough alignment" I did in 3 minutes without any measuring. It is a bit lower now than it was then, but not by a whole lot. The first picture (aiming at the basketball hoop) makes it look like they're pointed up because the turnaround for the driveway where I was parked for that picture isn't level. A better representation is shown in the road pic; the left side of the beam doesn't even make it to the crosswalk paint on the road.

Never had anyone flash me, no attention from law enforcement officials, and plenty of light on the road. :D

Here are a few comparison pics between Silverstars and the projectors. The blue tape on the garage door represents where a level beam would strike: http://forums.tccoa.com/showpost.php?p=1290328&postcount=233

I dunno what the problem is, but align them and be done. It is a cheap system and IF there was an American system, I would not be using them. They are cheaply made and have piss poor quality parts. BUT...I can see when I drive at night now. There is no chance of me overdriving my lights.

What you just bought a plug n play kit with the bulbs and ballasts and you're going to ***** about quality? The beam isn't focused and you are losing all that light all over EVERYTHING. Including other people. driving at you. You can't effectively "align" them since the light shines everywhere. So you are constantly blinding oncoming traffic. Projectors are the way to go only. And this seems to be the best way to go.
