I have my thoughts on the kit. I think it will be a good kit. I think they are putting some sort of resistence between the power source and the ballast that will make the car "give" 55 watts, but only let the ballast box "recieve" 35watts to power the xenons. Making it easy for a xenon swap, since you will not have to go to a dealer to get the setting changed. Its really a simple solution, I just wouldnt know the first thing about how to do it. Although I could be talking out my butt too. hehe

You might be right. Supposedly, no cutting and no dealer modification....I can't wait. This will be a complete solution (if my car doesn't explode )

Excellent idea. should be possible... something i have seen that is somewhat similar idea is this thing called a powerbrake from marshall that connects to an amplifiers output and "soaks" up the power, acting like a speaker type load. this thing i think could soak up 200 watts, so im sure some smaller version that soaks up 20 w and lets the rest through could be made. speaker level to line level converters used for car stereos do the same thing and then put out a much lower current signal.

plus, no dealer hassle cant wait to see it.

Alright, so your going to need to read this whole post just because.

Woke up at 6:00am, left at 8:00am, got there at 10:00am...and its a 4 hour drive from NJ

HIDs look amazing. I got the 6000 (stage 2) kit.

Setup was clean, and they work without setting the "xenon present" and there is no special thing you need to do, turn on the lights at any time and they work. And they are BRIGHT!

I am setting up a small website tonight with pics and movies, so be patient, it will be up tonight.

I spoke about group deals and final pricing on the kit individually. Basically, all pricing details will be revealed on Thursday. Please do not contact anyone until then, the prices will not be ready, save the money on the call.

I will update this first post with the url of the website I make.

Thanks,
Erik

UPDATE: Site is up...pics and movies:

tifosiv122

Thats odd, because it works fine on all my systems.

Try going into quicktime, FILE, OPEN URL IN NEW PLAYER:

"http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~ferraris/hid/MOV00058.MOV"

videos are workin fine for me.

tifosiv122

Thanks...I thought I was nuts for a minute.


BTW, if you right click and save target, maybe if its on your drive you can play it.


On another note before I go to sleep. I am very very happy with the setup, no running to the dealer, no hassle. I know people want pricing (I already got a few e-mails), but wait until Thursday.

Thanks,
Erik

FrankW

okay...got it to work by downloading the new update.

TimmyC230boy

It works with updates. Lookin Good.

tifosiv122

In response to a few e-mails.

1. Yes, I did not need to see a dealer.
2. No, there is no trick to get them to turn on...I can turn on the lights with the car on/off.
3. Yes, there is an addition item that must be installed beyond the stock HID kit, but its small (about the size of a pack of ciggs {for each light})
4. Again, prices on Thursday.

Thanks,
Erik

susemu

tifosiv122

Guys can this help for the new Bi-xenon headlight???

Because the high light not xenon as its in CL or SL Models ..


Any one can help???

antonio

im not sure of cl or other models, but the bi-xenons i have still use a halogen bulb for high beam. the reason it is bi-xenon is because some xenon light is emitted into the path of the halogen bulb when you activate it. that is why many people get a light that is yellower than the xenon when they use the high beams. i replaced my high beam light with a "blue" bulb and it looks very close to the xenon light. it is a razo bulb.

peet

in ALL cases the high beam is NOT xenon but halogen. In th ecase of bi-xenon, there is an additional relfector or shifting mechanism that bumps the height of the standard beam.

The only reason that all xenon's high beam are halogen is that you cannot flash-to-pass with xenon. The bulbs simply do not light up fast enough.
