All that said, i am buying one of yours anyway. I just thought it would be a good marketing idea to give MBWorld people a little boost to build your loyalty base is all. $165 is not at all a bad price point.
Thanks for the reply and willingness to at least answer. I like you already!! Welcome and let's see some more products.
I'm liking you too. Nice reply.

I'm always willing to correspond with customers and love meeting new people. ::shakes your hand::

Thanks for posting in our thread!!

I think a black grill would look sweet on your car, especially with black rims. In regards to our replacement HID bulbs, they're from a factory we've been working with, hand-in-hand, for the past few years. The bulbs are D2C and fit every stock HID system on the market. Of all the bulbs and companies we've dealt with we've found these to be the best, which is why we're private labeling them as our own in the very near future. Initially we were planning on releasing them once the labeling was complete but due to great demand we tossed them on the market prior to such. I will look into the lumens on the 8000k kit and should have an answer shortly.
I will take one black grill.

I'd be into bulbs, too if they meet the need. We have been discussing this lately, and I don't know anything other than I want the ones VIC55 has been specing out.

I must say our cars are pretty similar in everything except performance, lol! but the black out grill is a must, it just goes perfect with it, after adding Neals carbon fiber Lip, it is perfect.

Are these Stealth's numbers because each bulb varies. I have seen several 6000k bulbs run at 2400 lm which is much dimmer than 4400lm that you said. If you can find me a 6000k hid D2S bulb at 4400lm that would be great because generally as the numbers go up the lumens go down right?

these are numbers i pulled off the web. for some reason, i thought 8K kits normally put out ~3200lm and the 6K kits put out 3400lm.

the kit i use in my suburban is a 6K and puts out 3400lm, but the kit in my vette, which is a Very High Output, 50w, 8K kit puts out 3600lm

but i guess your right, changes from bulb to bulb... i don't know what Stealths version is...

You're very welcome ... We can do an install on HID bulbs, we just need a couple hours to figure it out (to be safe). We do full HID conversion installs on BMW's as well as Halo's on M3 headlights. Swapping bulbs shouldn't be too bad.

The HID bulbs are $99/set and last 12-15 years. In regards to Lorinser rims, we unfortunately only deal DPE rims which I can cut you a sweet deal on.
