CarLab 8000k kit installed tonight











it was easier than i thought... just find how to replace your headlight bulb in your owners manuel and hook up together... this is there new v3 kit and no light on the dash... you dont have to take it to the dealer and get the xenon present turned on... not bad for 280 shipped... and i ordered the driving lights to but are not here yet...

Just a quick question, all these bulbs with the ####k, like 8000k for example. Do these just replace the bulbs in the halogen lamps?

might have to set to Xenon Present for MTECH... and they are Made In Tawin fake as "Made In Japan" I used to have a set of Halogen light bulb from them for my Mitsu FTO and my brother Accord, they don't quite last long...

maybe they are good at making xenon

Just did a ebay kit with resistors on my buddys 07 C230. 4300k kit looked great and works great. It was only $135 shipped. Ill take some pics and post a thread up later. It didnt require the xenon present.

Glad you like your HID kit. I send the city light bulb to you already, you should get it in the mail soon. Sorry for the delay.

We are working on the new V4 kit that will be release in June. Everything will be integrated together (ballast and igniter) and the best part is, it will still be as thin as the V3 ballast. No wiring harness needed!

Regards
