Trying to get a hold of you, Haven't received my HID's been 2 weeks and few days going crazy O.O

Sorry, you ordered that one bulb size and color (green) that is just not easy to get a hold of :T

Let me know what kind of Scion you have (year and model). We should be able to get'em. Just an issue if they're in stock.

Did a lot of cleaning up on the website, expanded on the "browse by car" section for vehicle specific parts and because it makes it easier if you don't know the bulb size for your vehicle.

Also carrying a slightly cheaper kit that we've been field testing locally. Looking at about $80 shipped. That whole line is listed here until I can get them categorized:

Been organizing the website lately. Got a complete Scion section, just been adding stuff based on boredom and what people ask for on prices. The catalog I have sitting here is bigger than my head >_<

Added a second line of HID kits along side or normal stock. A little cheaper. For the absolute penny pincher there's a third line that we filter in upon request, you'll have to PM me for a price tag on that one.

Mostly just been fighting with these damn '02+ Dodge Ram's. That and working on a set of 95-99 Maxima retrofits and an Acura RSX retrofit (well that one is a bolt-in, not sure it counts) for a couple customers. Hope to clear out the Acura RSX this weekend.

And yes! I finally organized the LEDs to the point where we can keep the things in stock >_<
The online inventory is pretty accurate, we just set aside a few strictly for online orders.

The Scion section, parts added upon request or boredom:

i was taking a look at your site & i noticed you sell retrofit projector HID kits. more specifically the PnP Bi-xenon G1 kit. will this work/fit on an 08 scion xD? if so, how hard would it be to install? i've been looking for the projector and/or halo look for my car. all i can find is just HID bulbs. which is great, but i think the project/halo look is awesome. thanks for your help.

Really Long Post, the cliff notes: Yep, the G1 and G3 projector kits should fit in the 2008 Scion xD headlight. We also have a set of Morimoto projectors in stock if you're looking for something with a more readily available bulb size for the projector.


The unabridged edition with footnotes by Sir Ringo:

Actually we can get the G1, G3 and Morimoto projectors. I've done installs using all 3 on a few different housings. To be 100% honest, outside of the weird proprietary bulb that the G1 and G3's use (excludes the G3/H4's because they use a D2S bulb), they're actually a really nice setup for the price.

The '08 Scion xD housing is pretty big. You should have no problem using either the G1 or the G3 projector. If you really wanted to use your own shroud, you would have to epoxy it due to the way that the existing shroud fits on there and I would suggest using the G1 in that case. Any 3-inch shroud with some JB weld should to hold it in place, should work fine.

There's some ins and outs on why we don't sell them directly through the webstore (namely in the form of turn around time and actual product availability) but we do filter them in from time to time when we have other stuff coming in. Which apparently these days is LED bulbs and strobe light kits.

hmmm...i'm not the most automotively inclined so let me see if i understood all this by asking some more questions, lol! which of these items will require me to bake my headlight housing & take it apart in order for me to make them fit? i know you said it should work nicely, but then you mentioned something about using my own shroud? i'm really not trying to bake & take apart anything; i just want to take out my halogens & put something else in with little to no extra work. (i know i'm lazy, lol!) i know my xD headlight housing is pretty big & it uses a H4/9003 bulb. I really like the G3 because i was told it has a wider beam spread compared to the G1 & they both have the halo. does the morimoto have the halo? also, the morimoto uses a H1 bulb size. the xD uses H4, does this matter? last one, since my bulbs are H4, they all come in a d2s setup, will this be a problem because these being projectors?

Anything on the retrofitting level deserves to have lots of questions answered, so don't worry about that part :)

Q1) which of these items will require me to bake my headlight housing & take it apart in order for me to make them fit?
A1) All of them will require you to bake apart your headlights in order to install the projectors themselves.

Q2) i know you said it should work nicely, but then you mentioned something about using my own shroud?
A2) The changing of the shrouds on the G1 and G3 projectors has been a common question. It sounds like you're looking for the simplest installation, so I wouldn't worry about that.

Q3) i'm really not trying to bake & take apart anything; i just want to take out my halogens & put something else in with little to no extra work.
A3) Welp, hate to say this, but that completely eliminates any projector kit out of the equation. You're best solution then is a plug-and-play HID kit.

Q4) Does the morimoto have the halo?
A4) No sir. Although you could attach one to a shroud, and subsequently attach the shroud to the projector itself. So it's completely doable.

Q5) the morimoto uses a H1 bulb size. the xD uses H4, does this matter?
A5) Technically no, because when you switch to a Morimoto projector you physically change what bulb is required. We could get together a relay harness so that it matches up with the vehicle.

thanks for answering all of my questions! hmmm...i've got some things to think about. i don't want the plug & play kits, so, i'll just have to wait until i save up enough money and get the G3 kit. do you know any good links on how to accomplish the retrofitting myself? do you have any specifically for a scion xD? how hard is it for a beginner to do? it would be best to buy second set of headlight housings wouldn't it? worse case scenario, i'll just take them to someone to do.

This is a write up we did on a Chevrolet Cobalt (it's what we had laying around), but the installation is almost exactly the same.
http://www.3bspecialties.com/Projectors/Cobalt_Install/ProjectorInstall_Cobalt.htm

The Scion xD should not be any more complicated. In fact you'll get to skip the entire drilling process because the way the G3/G1 projectors are setup, they actually leave room to run the wires straight through the bolt up.

Honestly if you start on a Sunday morning, with only the most basic clue of what you're doing, you should be done in 4-6 hours (that's the headlights baked open, projectors bolted in, wiring run and hooked up, projectors aligned, and lenses back on the headlights... possibly a case of beer in by noon). And that's the first time around with being nervous the entire time.

If you're really worried, pick up a spare set of headlights. The first set I did was on a spare set of Kawasaki motorcycle headlights and those were dead simple. Had to remove the little spring that holds the regular bulb in and the rest bolted together.

Any advice on how to keep the relay from getting that stupid corrosion? I heard someone put theirs in a plastic baggie and ziptied it... would you recommend that?

Relays are not expensive, but they are a pain in the rear to swap out when they go out... especially when you least expect it (like on a hot dry summer evening)...

This is not an indication of the kit's poor quality... the kit is AWESOME... but any electric product with a relay even slightly exposed to the elements will have this issue... just looking for a good solution...

Aye, I hear ya on the relay harness situation. Honestly, it's 50% prep, 50% location and 1% luck. Funny thing is, the kits that we've run on relay harnesses always hold up better versus the ones being run as a plug-and-play kit, but the survival rate for the relays themselves are extremely installation dependent. Unless of course you own a BMW... at which point you're stuck on a PnP kit.

What we recommend doing for improving the survival rate of a relay harness is:
1) Dielectric grease on the fuse and relay pins. This helps tremendously. While you're at it, I would use it on all of the connections. If it's good enough for spark plugs and ATV abuse, it's good enough for HIDs.
2) The bottom of the relay sockets are open. Get a small tube of clear silicone and fill the bottom of the sockets till it's solid. Do the same with the fuse. If you're bored, do it with the ballast plugs. Ironically the ballast plugs have rubber fittings on them (inside and out) and are the least prone to water seeping through, but I've seen stranger.
3) Pray that where ever you set the relay, that it's not an area prone to getting wet. If you're replacing relays on a regular basis, you should really relocate it. A friend's Cobalt used to constantly blow out relays. We finally got him to move the relay and after that, he never had a problem. Until he sold the car and the poor guy who bought it drove it into a ditch...
4) For the truly insane: Move the relay to the inside of the car.

Weirdest thing. I reported a little while back when I got my HID kit that the driver side would faulter on occasion and not fire up when I turned them on, and would fire up on maybe the second or third click of the headlights. To single out the problem of it being a ballast or bulb, I switch the ballast around. The Weird part.....both sides have been firing up every time since the switch.

So, with that said, I don't feel I need to go through the hassle of shipping stuff back to be replaced since I haven't had a problem since swapping the ballast around.

It appears as though I've spoken to soon. My fiance just came back in from grabbing Subway and said she couldn't get the passenger light to come on. Therefore after the switch of the ballast, the issue has also switched. So, I received a bad ballast.

I've decided to have some fun with this and do a slightly different coupon code. For the rest of the football season, we're doing a coupon code based on the spread on the Houston Texans game. Here's how it will work.

The base number is $100 the bottom number is $80. These are shipped prices.
The discount is based on the spread so win (http://www.hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?p=43798321#) or lose, the discount will go down.
1 point = $2.

For instance if the end scores are 14/20, it's a 6 point spread. The price gets knocked down to $88. So the biggest valid spread is 10 points, so $80 is the bottom number.

The Houston Texans schedule is:
... vs Indianapolis Colts -- 11/01/10
... vs San Diego Chargers (http://www.hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?p=43798321#) -- 11/07/10
... vs Jacksonville Jaguars (http://www.hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?p=43798321#) -- 11/14/10
... vs New York Jets -- 11/21/10
... vs Tennessee Titans -- 11/28/10
... vs Philadelphia Eagles (http://www.hondamarketplace.com/showthread.php?p=43798321#) -- 12/02/10
... vs Baltimore Ravens -- 12/13/10
... vs Tennessee Titans -- 12/19/10
... vs Denver Broncos -- 12/26/10
... vs Jacksonville Jaguars -- 01/02/11

Oh yeah, the coupon code will be: "Texans"

Win or lose, the coupon is valid! After the last game with the Chief's, it left the coupon code at $48 off list (or $92 per kit).

We got a game with the Colts coming up this Monday, so the question becomes, do you think Manning and the Colts got enough shut down Schaub and the Texans? Or do you think Texans will give the Colts a run for their money and bring it down to the wire? Or... should you just wait until the Charger vs Texans game for a better discount? >:]

Join us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/3B-Specialties/119447071430806), any other weird coupon codes we do or new product listings will be posted online.

Final score:
Indianapolis Colts - 37
Houston Texans - 17

The Colts are not an easy team to play against and Manning is a freaking machine. They definitely exposed some of the Texans weaknesses and what they need to work on in the future.

That works out to a $60 off list (that's $80 shipped for those bad at math) for the HID kits this weeks "Texans" coupon.

What's the normal lifetime of a bulb? I had one go out after a year and a half, just wondering. It flickers when I turn the lights on but won't stay lit.

On average, two years. Life expectancy goes up with a relay harness, but the relay harness tends to be the first thing to go out in that situation.

If you've got a side that flickers (like it's trying to ignite); swap the ballasts from side-to-side to narrow the problem down. Thing is, I've seen both bulbs and ballast exhibit the same symptom.

Out of reference value; the "Scionlife" coupon code sets the 3BSpec HID kits at $85 shipped.

I swapped the bulbs and it still does it on the opposite side so it's the bulb that's the problem. I am using a relay. I'll order a new set in a bit and have a spare.

The 10k's are normal stock, so those will ship pretty quickly. Just use the following options:

Ballast: 35w or Canbus

Right now, the coupon code (Scionlife) sets the kits to $85 shipped. And we're working on setting up a paint/body shop supplies shop so we're focusing on that right now. If anything useful comes out of it, we'll let you know. It will primarily be a local operation but we'll work something out long distance.

Now there is not a huge light output difference between 4300k and 12000k. To illustrate my point, here is a comparison picture of the two on the same car. 12000k left - 4300k right

So in the end it comes down to what color you are looking for or like the most. All the Kelvin ratings are clickable to see our customer cars that have them installed.
4300k = Crystal White
http://www.3bspecialties.com/customercars/4300k/civic03.jpg

6000k = Crystal Blue

8000k = Blue

10000k = Deeper Blue with a hint of Purple
http://www.3bspecialties.com/customercars/10000k/scion02.jpg

12000k = Violet
http://www.3bspecialties.com/customercars/12000k/civic01.jpg

Custom Colors (added $10 charge and a 9-13 business day wait. there are other colors also, but these are the ones I have pictures of. These are not available for D2S/D2R or Bi-xenon bulbs)

Also, our Custom Colored bulbs start out as 4300k bulbs and then the gases inside are altered to give the desired color.

Here is a comparison between 4300k and a Custom Color Purple. Also this does not affect the life span of the bulb.

The link that I'm looking at is this http://shop.3bspecialties.com/3BSpec...HID-H11-5k.htm So H11 bulbs but about these options: Ballasts: 35w Harness Options: Should I go Plug and Play or go with the relay harness? DRL Module: I'm not familiar with this..the 2009 model can leave the lights on after turning off the ignition and will automatically turn off. Is this what that option is? Not sure which to put for this option.

So I've installed the HID's, everything seemed fine when I first connected everything and turned it on. I wired everything up, turned it on again and the passenger was out. I turned off the lights then back on and it came on. Following day, I went to work, turned on my lights and same situation? It seems like I have to play a bit turning it on then off then on to get both to light up? Any ideas? Maybe something is loose? I looked at the wires and everything is hooked up right. I did put dieletric grease in all of the connectors.
