I was just getting ready to post in the sale section....

I didn't get in on the buy 1 get 1 promo but I am willing to post a review. I paid saturday, shipped monday, was here today! super fast shipping. Packaged well, just in a plain box, but no need for fancy crap boxes. Everything was very straight forward, all plugs fit nice and snug. All PnP took less than 1/2 hr. which was very nice (I like quick mods)! Highly recommended, If I was ever in the need for HID's again I will def. look "HIDXTRA" up.

Here is looking at the car... (10k Low beams, and 3k Fogs (Just purchased the 3k from seller))



Looking from the car

I purchased the 9006 Fogs, 6000k. I paid on Friday and I got in on my doorstep on Tuesday. It took me longer to install it than shipping, I had no time. It was packaged in a UPS box with extra padding, plain and simple. The bulbs were packaged better, than a previous package from a different seller. Everything was plug and play. It came with everything shown in the pictures from the sale post, and it came with simple to follow instructions (if you follow instructions). It took me less than 30 mins to install. The HID fog lights worked great, the kit seems good, I would buy from again.

This POV is from the outside of the car, I purchased the 9006 Fogs, 6000k.

And that's why I dislike H4 HID. Glare city.

hey skybox, how would you categorize your 6000k's, white w/some blue or pure white w/no blue tint?

White with some "faint" blue tint (if any). From the drivers seat it looks great, on the outside it looks like a solid beam of white light, just adjust the headlights down a little bit, and the fogs are fine as is.

Sorry for the late reply. Buy 1 get 1 free promo has expired. This promo was only limited to the first 5 customers.
I still offer $60/kit to all scionlife.com members.

5000K H4/9003 Halogen hi/HID low

Ok, so I order my kit last monday, confirmed the order tuesday and it was at my door thursday. Being **** on quality, I was amazed on how the kit was made. No frills. None of this pretty logos. I actually spent more time trying to figure out where to place the ballast than having everything hooked up. I also order a relay harness (for safe measures). Everything is quality.

Color/Performance: Pure white. I mean, they have the same color shot on the ground as the current Lexus GS's. I wouldn't say they shoot further, but they light up anything to the sides and whatever is in front of me. I didn't even need to wear my glasses tonight. These are bright. Keep in mind I'm using the stock headlights with a FFF, so if you don't have a FFF or anything on your headlights, results will be improved.



shot on a fujifilm Finepix J150w, manual, +2 exp compensation, -3 fluorescent light. no flash.


Overall, great product. The first time I turned on the lights, the first words were "oh s***." You won't be disappointed. I highly recommend 5000k's for those who are looking for pure white color(on stock non-projector headlights).

Here is an example of our HID installed in a Halogen housing, the car is a 2000 Infiniti I30. The beam pattern is clean and does not scatter like other hid kits, and the projection area of visibility is similar just brighter so you can see better. Thanks~

P.S. beam may vary slightly upon different vehicles such as (YR make model and height, for examples for trucks or SUVs, the cutoff may be higher)

All orders placed before 3pm PST yesterday have been shipped and you should have already received a tracking #, if you didn't, please call 860-821-8212, your order might be delayed due to

(1.) needing confirmation because you input different billing and shipping information
(2.) your order did not go through

Thank you!
Michelle

Can someone post pictures from the engine bay, just so people can get a gist of where you can put your ballast in a convenient spot? Just ordered my kit, so just want to get an idea.
