Anyone put 3000k's in their fogs for xB1? Was wondering what would look better? 3000k or 8000k?

Cliff can you pm me about getting an H11 kit with 9006 bulbs for that last sale price?

Thanks

jbae - pm'd you on the 9006 bulbs and the harness.

agentorunge- good luck on the install today. :) don't flip the box over and your ballasts will be fine. :) haha.

xxatthegatesxx - thanks man, let's see the pics! :)

bbsacto - there was someone who picked up the 9006 3k bulbs for the fogs but I forget who... I personally like matching lights all around but with the jdm yellow in the fogs, it looks pretty mean. :)

viventi - don't worry, you'll get yours in time for a weekend project. :)

iheartzombies - pm sent! :)


-Clifford

cliff, sent you a pm, thanks.

Never got that PM cliff :)

Just ordered a 5000k H11 kit for my '08 xb. This is basically plug and play or no?

Did the install today but I think I received two different bulbs, lol. I ordered the 4300K H4 set but the driver side bulb looks purple/pink. I wasn't even aware you offered the H4 in that color, haha. I would hope to think that the passenger side bulb is the 4300K so please confirm that also. Hope the pics help.

Cutoff is a mess, haha. anyway to clean it up without projectors?

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m55/agentorunge/IMG_0847.jpg

Heres the purple/pink bulb

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m55/agentorunge/IMG_0846.jpg

I pmed ya already so just let me know how we'll work out the exchange. thanks cliff.

bump for a good product.

agentorunge- but-but-but- didn't you want them like that?










jk. a new bulb is on the way.

I said I would post this a few days ago, so here's OEM 4300K vs aftermarket 5000K

For anyone who wanted 4300K vs 5000K cutoff/output shots.

Thanks again Cliff!

Thanks for great service Cliff. I got my order today and just finished installation. I got a few questions. Does your kit includes mounting brackets for ballast? i heard it does that's why i ask because i didnt get mine. Another question is do i have to readjust my headlights after installation? If yes then how do i do that? Again thanks alot.

holy jeebus, i ordered these and they came in in two days...

Finally had a chance to pull these off the old school 4mp cam. :)

viventi - :) told ya you'd have them in time for a weekend project!

drey- you're welcome man. the brackets should be under the tray that held all the components and yes, you may need to adjust your headlights. if you look at the backs of the headlights, you'll see small metal dials that you can rotate to adjust the beam up and down.

xxathegatesxx - nice pics man. :) they make driving so much more fun don't they? :)

Hey Cliff I looked under that tray and there are no brackets. I got hardware, zip ties and leds. So you think you can send me some brackets? If you font have any that's ok, not a big deal because I haven't decided where to mount my ballasts anyway. I just used some sticky tape for now. Let me know. Thanks.

I never used the brackets, If u want brackets let me know I have them still.

05 TRD, thanks for chiming in. yeah- drey, if you didn't end up getting brackets, I can send some along. just pm me your order number so I can track down your order.

As far as the sale is concerned, one week down, one week to go.

this week only - kits are $140 shipped!

thanks.

Clifford

Cliff sorry for multiple PMs my phone acting crazy today.

Got my lights today:) I'll be posting pictures after the install

we installed my lastnight, they look awesommmme...thanks cliff.

i have a few questions

did anyone with h11 have any fitment problem with the bulbs?
i bought a kit(not mobile hid) and the bulbs lug was too big so it didnt fit right, i had to sand it down... im not too happy about that and might pick up a mobile hid kit

can someone post a pic of the bulbs lugs? like a shot lookin down at the bulb showing all 3 lugs, i just want to make sure it's gonna fit. the kit is gonna go in a 07 camry


pic of what im talkin about

http://www.hi-upload.com/upload/uploaded8/hidds.JPG



thanks

so i was about install my lights today, and i realized i dont know what this cable is for

http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg211/redhot_1_0/tCpics.jpg

redhot_1= dude your kidding right???? The red wire with the fuse goes to the battery's positive. The Black wire by itself goes to the ground on the battery. The connectors with the yellow rubber on them (blue and black wires) go the the power inverters. The last one goes to the stock headlight plug. It's a really simple install and the instructions were pretty simple.

i was just confused because, it look like only one of the stock plugs gets used.

thats how it works, just tape up the other side w/ electrical tape

yep- mush and bignoog are right.

Here's a pic to help explain it.

drey- brackets are in the mail!

just got done, they look awsome!!!

What temp kit is that red hot 1 0?

cliff, guys,??
is it better for the black to go to the battery ground or will any good body ground be enough
Also the relays look like they are made to slide onto a bracket ? do they fit on the brackets ? how did you guys mount them other than right side up :)

nvm

What temp kit is that red hot 1 0?

6000k

Hey good question. I grounded mine to the battery. They don't seem as bright as they should be? Should I change the ground?

I think Toyota makes their h11 different from regular h11 but you can make it work.

One more thumbs up for MobileHID!
Super fast shipping. Ordered on Wednesday, got it on Friday, and just installed. Look already great in daylight. We'll see how it looks tonight

Thanks, Cliff!

I'll put up some pix when i have time.

Hey cliff, please check your messages.. Got a little problem, lol.

I think Toyota makes their h11 different from regular h11 but you can make it work.

i dont think this is true

if none wants to help then i guess ill buy my kit somewhere else

Hi cliff i have a 2005 tc i got the hid kit 8k from u very good love it my friend has a 99 drango and wants to get a kit is the price still 140 if u can pm the price 4 the drango will appericate it

I think Toyota makes their h11 different from regular h11 but you can make it work.

i dont think this is true

if none wants to help then i guess ill buy my kit somewhere else

I doubt it's lack of wanting to help and more like people don't know. I mean after all this is a Scion site and Scion doesn't use that size bulb. Go buy your kit somewhere else if you want to cry about it but you will be missing out on a great kit.

As far as my "brighness" problem goes......never mind I compared mine to a couple of others and it's actually brighter. Great product Cliff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they dont? 2008 tC and xB uses h11... get ur facts straight before u assume

Yes they used h11 in 08 models. I had to cut mine just a little to make them fit. That's why I said I think Toyota makes their own h11 but I'm not sure. I fixed mine in less than 2 minutes with my dremel. I didn't make big deal about this because its an aftermarket part and I don't expect them to fit right in most cases.
Again it was just in my case. I cut mine because I didn't want to brake it or something. Its always better to be safe. Other than that this kit is awesome. I love it so far.

they dont? 2008 tC and xB uses h11... get ur facts straight before u assume

I sir just got owned :rofl:

Yeah ummm i uhhh forgot about the 08's my bad

Everything's still working great. Unfortunately none of my LEDs worked though :(

^^ i don't think any of my leds worked either. but its alright, its the hids that mattered.

btw, clifford sent me two different bulbs with my kit initially, i contacted him right away, then 2 days later, the correct bulb arrived. he fixed my order extremely quick. he has great customer service. not only is the product excellent, but if anything were to happen to your order, you'll be taken care of like i was.

Thanks cliff!

Everything's still working great. Unfortunately none of my LEDs worked though :(
just checking leds are polarity sensitive you did try them in both ways
they will only work if the correct side is hooked up to positive

i just checked a few of mine with a 9 volt battery all of them worked.

cliffud, im gonna be getting the oem fogs in the mail soon, so im gonna be ordering a 9006 8k kit which i think 9006 is for the fogs. but what im wondering is about the positive and ground wire will they reach the battery in the tc from where the fogs are located if not what will i have to do?

silvertC06 - send me an e-mail after you order and I'll be sure to include some extensions with your kit to make the wire harness reach. ;)

Woo hoo!

cliffud whats your email so i can do that when i order thanks!

just send it to sales@mobilehid.com ;)

cliffud just placed my order, cant wait to light up the road even more. do you have any mobilehid.com stickers if so that would be cool if not no biggy. thanks when will they be heading out?

It'll go out today bud! :)

pm's replied!

cliffud

Is the HID sale still going for $140. Let me know ASAP. Would like to put my order in. If i order today will i get it by friday. Where do i need to go to order.

Thebox - yep, it's still going on and yes, if you put your order in today, it will get there by friday.

Order from here: http://www.clearbrafilms.com/scionlife.htm

Thanks!

ok just placed an order for hid kit 9006 6000k. forgot to ask does it come with the compete kit such as harness and brackets. can't wait for the kit to come in. Haven't been working on a car since i lost my evo.

thanks cliffud

yep- comes with all that good stuff.

it's going out today so you should get it by thursday or friday at the very latest.

thanks.

Clifford

Thanks! cliffud

cliffud, did you get those extensions in with my order? and another question i was just looking at my hids i purchased from you a lil while back and it seemed like the drivers side was brighter and then i turned them off and then back on again and they both look like they were suppose to. should i be worried about this or what let me know thanks for the awesome service to by the way!

^^you know what. now that somebody brought it up. my driver side bulb seems to be a tad brighter then the other side also. i sorta thought it was just the direction that it reflects in the headlight caused this but i could be wrong...

another kit ordered and pmed you cliff

^^you know what. now that somebody brought it up. my driver side bulb seems to be a tad brighter then the other side also. i sorta thought it was just the direction that it reflects in the headlight caused this but i could be wrong...

I've been noticing that too. At one point I wanted to sit in the middle console to ponder if both lights are in the same brightness category. If this could be fixed, I would be glad to know, other than that, I'm contempt with what I have :P :P

i first noticed it lastnight when i was at a gas station and i was looking at the reflection of my hids in the wondow and so i was like whatever then i got home and looked at them and sure enough the drivers side was brighter so i turned them off and then back on and they were perfect.

also cliffud i was wondering if you could get green or red hids for my bud with a 98 civic

silver - no green or red hid kits in stock right now. if you want to special order a green setup, just pick up an h4 kit on the sale page and shoot me an e-mail reminder and i'll bring in a set for you.

about the different sides being different brightnesses - you sure guys that it's not just the headlight housings?

can you take pics and send them over to sales@mobilehid.com?

thanks.

Clifford

switching bulbs from the left housing to the right housing will tell you if its the bulbs or housings.......
my money is on the housing's being diff.....cuz who paid any attention as to which bulb from what position in the kit went where??????

yea so every once in a while i have to expain to someone how the color temperature thing works, and when they find out that 8000k(which is what i have) is supposed to be less bright that 6000k, people always ask me, "why the hell are your hids so much brighter then mine" and i reply "because i actually purchase good quality products" thanks cliff!

w0rd I have that same problem and I've only had mine a week :P

Cliff all I can say is :bow: :bow: :bow:

Order placed!

Cliff, I'm not sure if you remember my relay issue.. :nails: maybe you could throw an extra one with the 5000k's?

Thanks.

Sorry I'm dumb but, I want some of these HIDs for my xD. They're low beam only for the H4 (9003) right? What would I do for my highbeams if these HIDs are going in my stock headlamps? Is it possible to get the low+high for a similar price?

u'll need two sets of HID's

woot! i just finally made my purchase for the 9006 6K set. I'm hoping this will be an easy install... not too sure where to put the ballasts for the 1st gen xB...

If anyone is willing to give me a hint or two for this let me know! I would appreciate it :)

Tips:

Make sure relay is placed somewhere it WONT get wet. Also good if you electrical tape it up real well, just to make sure.

Electrical tape the passenger side plug that won't be used anymore, just to stop it from getting wet and rusty.

Industrial strength adhesive velcro works really well for mounting ballasts, if you don't use the brackets for both of them. I attached one of mine via velcro and still going very strong.

hey cliffud still haven't got my HID. I thought they were suppose to be in today.

thebox - can you please pm me with your purchase info? :(

invertalon - you might want to double check that the heat from the ballast doesn't affect the adhesiveness of the velcro that you're using. other than that - sounds like a good idea for mounting them anywhere you need.

bbsacto - 9006 6k for the 1st gen xB- this is for fogs or do you have sonar projector headlights? :) (just making sure you got the right setup)

chelsdf - you'll need an H4 kit for the new xD. like 05 trd mentioned though, you'll need a dual-HID kit if you want HID high beams. since the H4 kits have HID low beams and a halogen high beam, you do not have to worry about losing high beams. if you happen to live out in the middle of no where and need high beams, the dual-HID setups work VERY WELL.

sciobox - sorry man, can you please PM me again about the relay?

maxim and bignoog - lol - yep, that's what I often run into as well. i've had complete strangers who have aftermarket HID setups in their cars pull up next to me and ask why my HID fogs are so bright.

sdsnybny - AWESOME PHOTOS!! Honestly guys- if you have a first gen xB, the sonar headlight housings are VERY good replacements. The light output may not be as even as an LS430 projector (the best in the OEM market) but having a lot of light focused straight in front of you isn't a bad thing either. sdsnybny - i bet you can see WAAAAAAAAAAY farther now huh? :)

u got pmed cliffud. Man wanted to install it today. Let me know something. :(

pm'd you back. looks like it's in transit but the shipping details haven't been updated. i suspect you'll get them today.

For the fogs sir cliffud.

I hope i get them today. Keep me posted.

jw, did you ever get my PM cliffud?

wow cliff i just got the package, i ordered wednesday and i live in chicago!!! wow fast shipping again, thanks a lot!

cliffud check and check still haven't got it. :cry:

I sent you a pm.

^lol hids ftw!

here are my 8k headlights and fogs, and also cliffud what color are those 194 bulbs that were in the bag?

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w90/silvertc06/Picture065-1.jpg

the LED bulbs are close to a 5k color temp. :)

btw - that kinda looks like this...

http://images.jupiterimages.com/common/detail/07/24/23272407.jpg

lol

thanks cliff i love the hids in my fogs, idk what id do without them.

does anyone know if you can turn the oem fogs on without the headlights being on?

SilvertC06,
there are a couple of DIY's for this on the xB, the tC shouldn't be much diff.

simple version;
on the back of the oem switch is two wires you tape one off (not sure witch one)
and add a ground wire from the open switch leg to a good ground. This way you could leave the fogs on and not notice there on and drain the battery
http://www.clubxb.com/forums/f19/12605-diy-independent-oem-fog-lights/

More time needed version;
get a led lighted oem size switch from Oznium (pick a color )and do the above plus add power to led pole and another SEPERATE ground wire for the led in switch
then you will know if you turned car off and left fogs on.
Hope this helps
this DIY is for a lighted JDM switch change out but a 4 pole led switch will be wired the same.
http://andy.lbox.org/cars/projects/foglamps/

cliffud, sent you a PM

pm'd you back bud.

sdsnybny- that's a cool mod to have the fogs on w/o the low beams. i turn off my lows and keep my fogs on if i'm driving through a parking lot or if i'm waiting to turn and somebody is walking in the crosswalk.

hey cliffud did you find out what happen to my HID. Still haven't got them. Please let me know something.

hey cliff i asked about the green hids for my bud with the 98 civic and i was wondering how much are they gonna cost him, and if he orders by the time the sale is over will he get them for 140 shipped? and by the way when does this sale end?

just installed the 9006 hids in my fogs. only the driver side harness plugs into the relay right? the passenger side you just leave alone? everything lights up, just making sure that its correct?

hey i need a set of H1 8k, where do i send payment?

Thanks

just installed the 9006 hids in my fogs. only the driver side harness plugs into the relay right? the passenger side you just leave alone? everything lights up, just making sure that its correct?

Hey let me know how you figured out where to put your ballasts for the fog set up because I will be doing this soon when i get my HIDs. Oh, let me know about any other stuff you stumbled upon :P

Aloha,

Once in a while, I seem to see some aftermarket HID's (on a honda fit) that are extremely bright (maybe 20-30% brighter than my [mobileHID] 5k kit). I wanted to ask if anyone knew about different kinds of HIDs? I remember I stumbled upon different levels based on power consumption?

Please note: this is absolutely NOT a post bashing mobileHID or any other company, I am simply wondering such levels of power output existed, and if mobilehid had such offerings.

THANKS!! :silly:

hey cliff i think you accidentally set out the wrong hid kit to me, the side of the box says 5000k but i ordered 8000k, let me know whats up, pm me, than ks maxim

I'll get some pics up tomorrow. i mounted both ballasts behind the grille using the 2 bolts that hold the bumper on. since i took off the bumper anyways to install the bulbs, i just figured i'd use those same screw holes to mount the ballast while im screwing the bumper back on. seems to have worked out. also. both the 9006 bulbs that i got didn't fit into the socket because the o-ring that it came with was too thick. it wouldn't clear the socket hole. so luckily i had my old stock 9006 bulbs lying around so i just swapped the o-rings with the stock fog bulbs then they fit just fine. also, only the driver side harness plugs into the relay, the passenger side, you just leave it be. tape it up or something, i need to do this since i just left it dangling. i'll get pics up as soon as i can of the install and how i mounted the ballasts.

i believe the honda fits headlights are reflector based, so what you're seeing is probably all that light from the glare shining right into your eye, which makes it seem hella bright. but if they were aimed correctly, lower, then it'll probably look like they should.

Thank you for your input. Just to clarify though, however, I was driving side by side next to this Honda Fit and in other cases other models. So in that sense, I'm not sure if it's the reflector aspect. I'm guessing perhaps a stronger output based on higher power consumption, if one existed as such.

agentorunge - yep, only one side plugs into the wire harness. :)

hotboxn, just send $170 to sales@mobilehid.com with a note of what you need. thanks!

revoluzion - other cars may seem brighter compared to your 08 xB HID setup with projectors that offer a strict cutoff of light. what other models of cars did you compare with?

as far as higher wattage kits are concerned, none are offered since the demand isn't that high for them.

maxim - can you check the bulb labels to see if it's just the box that was labeled incorrectly. sometimes boxes get bashed up in shipping so they're swapped out with other boxes and relabled but yours may not have been relabled on accident. please keep me posted.

Thanks!

Clifford

ill check for you tomorrow and let you know, thank you

I sent my payment.

About the velcro,

I check the "bond" anytime im under the hood, still as strong as day one. May be tested in summer though when it gets HOT under that hood, but if so ill find another mounting method. But so far, SO good!

PMd you CLIFF..

pm'd you back bud. :)

cliff, first off I love my HIDs. I've had them for about 6 months now with no problems at all. second, on the H4 bulbs with the extra light for the high beams, what type of bulb is it? Also can I upgrade it, because it is pathetic on output, not even good to flash someone back when they think I run my high beams. It looks a lot like an H3. I wanna upgrade it, help.

pm'd you a possible "solution".

can you pm me that possible solution too?

well basically it would be adding two more halogen bulbs on the other side of the HID bulb so they both would come on. It will help but I honestly don't think it will help enough to offset the tremendous super hero brightily lighty strength of the hid bulbs.

yeah forget that, sounds too much of a hassle for so little return...

Im just happy to see that cliff is trying to figure out a solution for those who need it!

hey cliff where are the bulbs labeled?

just got my HID 6000k kit. installed it. I can see now...lol

Sent ya a PM Cliff

just installed the 9006 hids in my fogs. only the driver side harness plugs into the relay right? the passenger side you just leave alone? everything lights up, just making sure that its correct?

Hey let me know how you figured out where to put your ballasts for the fog set up because I will be doing this soon when i get my HIDs. Oh, let me know about any other stuff you stumbled upon :P

I'll get some pics up tomorrow. i mounted both ballasts behind the grille using the 2 bolts that hold the bumper on. since i took off the bumper anyways to install the bulbs, i just figured i'd use those same screw holes to mount the ballast while im screwing the bumper back on. seems to have worked out. also. both the 9006 bulbs that i got didn't fit into the socket because the o-ring that it came with was too thick. it wouldn't clear the socket hole. so luckily i had my old stock 9006 bulbs lying around so i just swapped the o-rings with the stock fog bulbs then they fit just fine. also, only the driver side harness plugs into the relay, the passenger side, you just leave it be. tape it up or something, i need to do this since i just left it dangling. i'll get pics up as soon as i can of the install and how i mounted the ballasts.


Yeah, Im awaiting your images :pray:

bump, did you get my ballast today? did you have a chance to ship out the replacement?

both ballasts are mounted behind the grille.

as you can see, i used the screw that holds the bumper onto the car and sandwiched the bracket in between it. then mounted the screw back on. only that one screw holds the ballasts for both sides so it may bounce a little bit. but so far, it hasn't bounced hard enough for me to hear it inside the car. you may want to also double side tape the other end of the ballasts down if you'd like. hope this helped.

Dope! Thank you agentorunge... Yeah, at first when I got my first set of hids, I was going to put my ballasts there. This is a great spot for the fogs. Once again, thanks for your help.. :D

Hey guys- just thought I'd share with you something cool I sort of "discovered"...

For years I've been interested in fish eye camera shots but was afraid of spending hundreds, if not thousands, on an SLR and the myriad of lenses that are necessary to exercise the full potential of a good SLR.

So here's the next best thing.

Camera used: Samsung L85 - 8MP camera.
The product:
http://static.zoovy.com/img/goshotcamera/-/lenses/bower/magnetic/mpower_magnetic_conversion_lens_on_camera.jpg
Purchased where: on ebay naturally.
Cost: $40

Quick summary: The images aren't the sharpest but when the 3264 x 2448 pixel images are dumbed down to 800 x 600 photos for web use, it doesn't look THAT bad. And for only having cost $40, this was a pretty fun addition to my little camera.

Sample shot (please pardon the less than perfect wheel):

http://www.mobilehid.com/images/fe3.jpg

Don't know how many of you guys are interested in photography but this was a cheap way to have some fun with a point and shoot camera.

:)

nice find cliff!

was wondering where did everybody put there ballast on the tc.

thebox - check out these install photos from an install I did earlier this year.

Yep, your e-check cleared today so yours went out. :)

pmed you bro

Does the kit include the brackets. If so i didn't get them.

Thanks I didn't even check underneath there.

pm'd you back Maxim, don't worry bud, I got your covered.

I just received my kit literally 15 mins ago. Fast shipping!

I'll be installing them later today and will post pictures.

hey agentorange, i was wondering how you swapped the o-rings... I cant seem to figure it out.. i also sent you a PM... hit me back up or post a reply in this thread :D

****CLIFFUD****

hey i came outside to my car this morning to leave and the passenger side fog light was on and only that one not the drivers side. so i checked the switches and everything and they were all off. so i finally turned all my lights on then off again and it went off. just got to work came back outside same thing again. so i just got home and i looked at them and both lights are flickering kinda look like strobes in the fogs. please let me know whats up.

Your relay ^^

Is it in a place that it CAN at all get wet? Mine did the same thing. Found out when I washed my car (not the rain) water got all over the relay and fried it. I went to radio shack and bought a 40amp automotive relay replacement ($6?) and cleaned out the female part of the relay, contact cleaner and all, ensure it was completely dry, put the new relay in, and give it a huge electrical tape wrapping.

Give that a go. Most likely it is the relay.

i thought these things were waterproof?

ok now they wont even come on, i felt of the relay for my lowbeams and it was cool, but i felt of the fogs relay and it was warm and my car has even been on for a good 2 1/2 hours. and the relay for the fogs were in the same place as the low beam relay so i dont see it getting wet but who knows. cliffud if you could help me out i would appreciate it.

I'm going to guess it's a relay issue. I have some spares laying around, if you need a new one, just cover the 5 bucks fr 2-3 day priority shipping and I'll get a new one sent out.

As far as being waterproof- the ballasts and bulbs are but the electrical harness should be treated like any other electrical items and care should be taken to not get the relay wet.

Thanks.

Clifford

ok cliffud do i just need to send paypal for 5 bucks?

silver - yep. but check first to see if the relay has any corrosion. if so, then yep - it's a relay. if not, then it could also be a fuse issue.

thanks.

PMd ya CLIFF :P

pm'd ya back homey!

Hey guys...

Some of you guys know already and I thank you for helping me keep this on the down low while the deal went through. For those of you who don't know, it's with a heavy heart that I deliver this news but at the same time it is a good thing for me, the business, and for all the MobileHID customers in the past and in the future.

A few hours ago I signed the papers that officially sold the rights to the MobileHID.com name, customer base, wholesale client list, and the inventory that was in stock to the holdings group that also acquired Sport Compact Only here in Arizona.

I want to thank all of you guys for your support over the past year and a half and that you shouldn't have to worry about your kits because the new owners understand and agree to stand by the warranty offered and will continue to offer the 3 year warranty for all customers.

I personally will be staying on board for another month to help with the transition period but after that, I no longer will be affiliated with the MobileHID brand nor will I be dealing in the HID lighting industry per a non compete agreement that was part of the deal.

That being said, I will be focusing more on the clear bra film business and encourage all of you to protect your vehicles with the film.

MobileHID FTW!

Thanks.

Clifford

thanks for the PMs guys.

Thanks

If factory HID, D2S.

bBsactoguy- thanks for the heads up on the trim rings. that's really surprising that you had to make mods for that bulb, I've never heard of a bulb set not fitting properly but I'm glad you were able to get it to work. :)

05_TRD_tC, I didn't realize you were interested in slim style HID kits man. I have a few here that I can let go for cheap. :)

Hey Cliffud, I was just wondering about the led bulbs that came with the kit.

I'm guessing those are for the interior dome lights and parking lights perhaps?

I did install the kit last night and I love them! Thanks

icecold - yep, those are 194/168 bulbs and they can be used in the interior lights as well as the parking lights.

do u have HID kit for 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R (Sportsbike)???

Hi Cliff...well im kinda disappointed right now bud...ive sent you like 3 or 4 pms about the bulb i sent you that burnt out and no reply... :( let me know if theres anything you need me to do... i sent out the bulb on thursday or friday of last week and i wanted to see if you received yet.. sorry for this post... but im not sure if you didnt get my pms or my computer never sent them to you...anyhow... let me know whats the update...thanks Cliff! :(

Chris! I just put 2 and 2 together and realized that this random bulb that got sent in was yours. I apologize for not realizing it before but there wasn't any information inside the package so I was sort of at a loss.

I finally tracked down your order though and I'm sending out a SET of H7 6k bulbs to ensure your bulbs can colorshift together and you get even light output.

About apologizing for the post, I'm glad you did because I wasn't sure what the story was behind this bulb sitting here.

Thanks.

PM's replied!

well cliffud i sent to message about a week ago....and you never answered??
:(

Sorry to bug you, but I'm sorting through all this HID info, how much is a bi-xenon hi/lo kit for an xA? Oh, and how many ballasts are there?

jsingh- pm'd you man! :) sometimes I miss a couple, sorry bud.

brianspellings, there are 4 ballasts in the dual-hid kit since there are 4 HID sources (2 per bulb - one for high, one for low). just sent you a PM on the price shipped to a US address.

Cliffud I just purchased 2008 headlights for my 2006 tc, on your site what would I need to purchase to get the HID's to fit. I need 9006 to H11 bulbs

jrod - that's easy to do, no prob man. just paypal $170 to sales@mobilehid.com with a note of what it's for and I'll make sure it gets sent out.

ty.

c.

thanks c!, hey man I just paid and I forgot to mention I would like 5000k for the HIDs.

np man. it's getting shipped tonight!

thanks cliffud :)

Hey everyone, I recomend this seller. I know you are saying well who is he to recomend someone, but i ordered the lights and got them 2 days later. fast shipper and great product. thank you for ur help.

Kay so I need to make sure...

I need to buy a H4 hid kit because I have the gen 1 xb.
And If I wanted the whitest of white, it would be 4300.

but not the air freshener itself?? lol
haha

ooh...i need a refill... pm'd :)

pm'd you back buddy

jsingh- lol - you get the air freshener itself, not the fancy shmancy case that they usually come in.

honestly- when I had one in my old G20, so many people asked "is that a radar detector". lol - i was like - yep- the best smelling one you'll ever find!

hey cliff, i have an 08 tC with VRD fogs, so to put 4300K in all the lights would cost me how much...?

$170 * 2(kits) = $340

replied back, cliff.

hey cliff
if i install the H11 on 08' projector light do u think their would be any problem with the cutoff (i researcing and found out some people have problem with cutoff....so i was just worried if it would be fine??

thanks


jj

jsingh - the cutoff isn't that bad at all.

here's a comparison with HID vs halogen.
http://mobilehid.com/images/08tc1.jpg

Walter - i don't think i got it or i already replied back to you.

thanks u r great :)

np man. :)

btw - who's interested in 50 watt kits? there maaaaaaaaaaay be some coming around soon...

eh...its the delay in the pm system i guess, but i did get a reply n i replied back :D

got your PM. thanks Walter. :)

btw - seems like there's a lot of interest in these slim style kits... I think I have about 20 kits that I can blow out for $80 a set shipped. anyone interested?

got your PM. thanks Walter. :)

btw - seems like there's a lot of interest in these slim style kits... I think I have about 20 kits that I can blow out for $80 a set shipped. anyone interested?

very!

ok so what do you need? you'll get 2 slim ballasts and 2 bulbs and the wires to plug them into your OEM headlight plugs. if you want a harness on top of that - $100 total.

got your PM. thanks Walter. :)

is this as good as the regular....i mean the price difference is like $70....so u know wat i mean......

thanks

jj

maxim - if you want the wire harness, it would only be $20 more for an even $100.

is this as good as the regular... ehhhhhhhhh, not really.

there's a reason why they're not officially sold and why they are priced the way they are.

* one of my distributors tested them and found them to be dimmer than the normal ballasts,

* due to not having regulated power internally, they dim just like halogen bulbs when the bass hits in my car (even when hooked up via a relay wire harness). dimming does not occur with the mobilehid ballasts.

* and it seems as though the ignitors need to be mounted AWAY from the actual ballast when installed otherwise they may not fire up properly.

but other than that, they're great! lol.

if you're interested in a set, just paypal $80 or if you watn the harness $100. to sales@mobilehid.com with a note of what you want and I'll make sure it gets shipped out.

once they are gone, they are gone.

i just ordered some H11 6000k bulbs this morning since im swapping my '07 headlights to the '08s... already had the kit and i love it. any time i'm in my friends scions that dont have them i toss your site out to them... great product.

Great customer service too. thanks Cliff
