Question for someone who went from 4300k in stock 05 housing to 4300k in 08 housing. Did you lose some of the output. I just installed my 4300k and it' looks more yellowish?









I figured it would be the same white color just more focused. Any thoughts?

this is the 4300k 9006 in 05 housing



The new photos are from my cell but that's what they look like in person but slightly brighter.

Probably the relay homie, check it for rusting. Check your ground too.

two questions:

I have an 08 tc, so I can buy the 50w H11 kit, correct?

I don't see the different wattages being offered separately on MobileHID's website, so I'll have to PM clifford directly to get an invoice?

Thanks.

redhot - yep - sounds like a relay issue. please pull it off your relay harness to check it out.

thanks.

yeah, economy is rough and everyone likes to buy products that are promised to perform but at a ridiculously lower price.

For example - I had some guy e-mail in the other day...

"can i return my kit, it didn't work after like 3 weeks".

I couldn't find his proof of purchase but figured he had it so i told him to go ahead and send it in with his proof of purchase.

THE GUY SENT ME A KIT FROM SOME MICKEY MOUSE SHOP CALLED GOTHIDKIT.COM!!

hahaha! he paid $110 for a piece of garbage that ended up not working 3 weeks later and then wanted the MobileHID.com warranty!

*sigh*

Don't buy garbage guys... there's a reason why I've done a ton of testing on diff kits out on the market. It's so you DON'T HAVE TO WASTE YOUR MONEY...



Some of the crap is even sold on here!!

Xentec kits are crappy ebay kits that can be had for 80 bucks but have a high failure rate. I mean seriously... we're talking about electronics for your car and safety at night, do you think they can really crank out something reliable over time for that cheap?

Mod-Express kits with ballasts that had flimsy almost paper thin covers on the backs as seen below:




But then now they claim they are selling "Philips" kits... here's a heads up guys, as far as I know - Philips doesn't produce ballasts anymore and it most likely is a kit just labeled "Philips" because the ballast used in their "Philips" kit looks VERY VERY VERY much like ballast number 2 in the review picture up above... yeah- the "BOSCH" kit which is totally bull____ and not really "BOSCH".

Tell you what guys, if you like people lying to you, I can start slapping labels on the boxes claiming the kits will enable time travel on your car and 500 extra HP but my integrity and respect for you guys gets in the way.

as a reference...



If you swapped the stickers between the Bosch ballast above (number 2) and this on in their pic... would you really notice a difference?

i stand by cliff. ive been nothing but satisfied with my kit from him. And if for some reason I'd ever have to buy another kit, should mine die after the 1 year warrenty. I'd def buy mobileHID again. The quality of your product and your excellent customer service has got you my business and my friends business for life.
