Xenon Kits

[asubimmer]

I'll speak.

Prolumen is absolute garbage, along with Xtec, McCullough, and several other kits. The only ones really worth looking at are Xenon Depot and Kaixen.

I bought Kaixen, after extensive research. Most of you know how thorough I am, trust me on the recommendation.

thanks man, really guys you get what you pay for here

What's wrong with prolumen? Seems like a lot of people have had positive experiences with them.

Umnitza sells ProLumen kits for $275 shipped I believe.

I sparked up a new one. $260 shipped. Its in the mail. To bad I already converted my 9006's to the H1 connectors. Now I get to rewire and switch back.

Hey VTBimmer, which kelvin did you choose? I was going to go with 5k.

I was going to go with 5k being that that should be the highest light output at 3200 lumen I believe. But after speaking with Ouri (Habbie) I decided to go with 6k at a loss of 200 lumen. The comparitive pics sold me on the 6k. Either one Im sure I would be happy with.

Failure rates. Them and Xtec battle to see who can have a higher percentage of their kits fail somehow.

I should have taken pics of the Kaixen hardware when I got it, but I was too excited to get it in there. Exceptional tactile quality in the ballasts, wiring, and all connectors. Even the way it was all packaged showed that a lot of care was put into the kit.

Good to hear. Maybe in the near future we can get a GB on this kit. I need some ellipsoids first!

What's the best pattern for xenons? (US ellipsoids, Euro Ellipsoids, Retro-Fited E46)

Anyway to get these in 3000k?

I would be interested in two sets over the summer if you can get 3000k, and ill pick up a 5000k

[asubimmer]

they didn't tell me they had 3k but I would like a nice yellow like that. I'll have to check. cross your fingers :twisted:

[Widm3r]

Im crossing my fingers.

If you could check that would be sweet

[asubimmer]

well thats not something easy to answer, everyone thinks something different. US ellips have a flat cut-off, Euro ellips are flat on the left and are angled to the right, and e46 is supposed to have a wider angle and falt cut-off IIRC. Its up up you ;)

I'm interested in a set of low beams for my smileys. Post up a feeler on the GB sect. if you havent done so already.
