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 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 -- 11/07/10
... vs Jacksonville Jaguars -- 11/14/10
... vs New York Jets -- 11/21/10
... vs Tennessee Titans -- 11/28/10
... vs Philadelphia Eagles -- 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, 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.

Final score:

Houston Texans - 23

Oh sure, being 4-4 sounds bad, but we're only one win down from the Colts overall >
Final tally this week works out to $88 a kit.

Apparently I completely missed this game! >_<
Well that knocks it down to $80 for this week.

We just got setup with Spec-D Tuning (www.SpecDTuning.com), so everything online at this time is 10% off until the end of December when you use the coupon code "SL-SpecD"

What we've got up right now is here:
http://shop.3bspecialties.com/Spec-D-Tuning_c2743.htm

We're get them organized as we go and adding on a weekly basis. If it's not listed, just fire us a link to what you're looking at and we'll verify it.

Right now prices listed are based on local pickup, so there's a little leeway on shipped prices.

My god, if you missed last night's game, the Texans almost... ALMOST pulled one out of the rear in the last quarter. Hell of a game regardless.

Coupon code sets the kits at $88.

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 coupon code (Scionlife) sets the current price to $85 shipped.
http://shop.3bspecialties.com/3BSpec...D-9006-10k.htm

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

Ballast: 35w or Canbus
Harness: Plug and Play
DRL Module: No

The '09 Scion TC is an H11.

Pretty sure I've got almost every model/year covered except for 2011 categorized:
http://shop.3bspecialties.com/Scion_c572.htm

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.

http://www.hondamarketplace.com/show...php?p=45192502
http://www.hondamarketplace.com/show...php?p=45192496

--------
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

12000k vs 4300k against a wall


12000k vs 4300k showing output


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


6000k = Crystal Blue


8000k = Blue


10000k = Deeper Blue with a hint of Purple


12000k = Violet


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.


3000k = Tinted Yellow



Custom Color Yellow = Golden Bar Yellow



Custom Color Blue = Deep Blue



Custom Color Pink = Pink


Custom Color Purple = Deep Purple


Custom Color Green = Green

I have a 2009 Scion tC. 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.

The DRL module doesn't apply to any of the Scion's. We only see them on vehicles that have the Daytime Running Light as one of the headlights.
