Is there a list of things that are / are not covered by the original warranty? I have a list of things covered under the extended warranty and bulbs are not covered.

even with out the high beams my 10000k bulbs light up the road very well. I dont even use my high beams. I'll try to post a pick tonight of both the normal driving lights and high beams

i know sometimes people have HIDS and i can't see when im going around a corner, a hill, whatever.... Kinda dangerous in a way.. its great if one driver can see 100%, but if the other can't see *****, and hits you in your lane like a moth driven to the street lamps, whats the point in the lights?

As long as you have a good projector and they are adjusted properly then you should blind oncoming traffic. I haven’t has a single person flash their lights at me, yet.

Nope. I don’t know of anyone that installed all the other stuff when retrofitting the bix.

http://www.thezomkspeed.com/ he has the damaged headlights if you like them cheaper this is your thing then go for it but im just warning everyone that this is the source of the foul headlights.. They may not all be foul, however, I recieved foul headlights.

Also, when I talked to them again,, they said they had a whole shipment of lights that are possibly damaged.. I dont know how long it will take to get new ones, but if you do order from him, b/c it is a really good price, call ahead and ask them to pre-check your shipment before sending it out, and to specifically check for the projector being malfunctioned.

When i first called and told them I had problems with the headlights quality, they asked "is this with the projector unit"... They knew before i even told them


Where's the business ethics here?? WTF advertise new, but know a percentage of the units are damaged...

WOW
