Great product! I installed it without any problem.

Great Customer Service! Always answered my questions within 24-48 hours.

BTW I grounded the kit at the battery tied down. There is a long silver metal bar that connect the battery tied down to the frame of the tC. I unscrewed the bar, looped the ground wire onto the bar and screwed the bolt back on. Is this a safe place of grounding the kit?

The kit is awesome on the prelude. My wife loves it and she says thank you. but there were some minor snags because of the car's headlamps and not the kit.

The H1 set up are just a PITA. We first tried to plug and play but the stock clips wont keep it in place. Then we tried using the dust boots to keep the bulbs in place. but the only thing that did was prevent the bulb from being placed all the way in the lamp. After toying with it for a long time, we manage to get it to stay using the spongey thing that came on the bulbs.

She loves how bright the road is now and I feel better knowing that she can see at night. And the Mother's billet Pollisher is the dookie. It even took off the rust stains that were impossible to get off. The apartments we lived in had really bad sprinklers and sprayed all over the front end. She tried the pollisher on it and it worked. She's happy which makes me happy. Thanks MobileHID, you're the best.

Hi All-

Bossman- yep, I'll give you a call tomorrow.

Aznpimp- Yes, I believe so however what I've found and other members have found is that although the 3k is the RIGHT color temp - the lumen output is just so intense that it appears to be on the lighter side of 3k. Meaning it will look like the GT euorpean racing circuit yellow lights that they use at night.

Here are some pics:



Sciongolf - glad to hear they went in with ease. The ground should be fine but when I install them, I usually find a ground from the fender bolt or nearby. Post some pics!

MisterKe - glad the wife loves the lights. the H1 kits are always a little difficult to mount since the bulbs are so tiny. I installed a set into my friend's LX470 and his H1 bulbs were a pain because of the same rubber boot issue. We ended up leaving off the boots. Also, glad the Mother's billet polish worked out well!

Jonathan - if you want just the bulbs: $65 shipped. Lemme know man!

Thanks all - let's see some pics!

Clifford

Hey Cliff...

I have a few HID kits that are h13 bulbs on my trucks and they don't work with high beams and flicker once in a while. Will your harness stop this?? I have relays on one and It solved the problem but this seems a better way to go since they are all intergrated into the harness.

Hi Erebus -

Yep, sounds like the common issue people have when the ballast is struggling to get that spike of power from the factory electrical system. Many people think - "oh, my factory wiring can handle it" but then they don't realize there is a 23,000 volt spike coming from their electrical system and that power is going through the car while every other component of the car is struggling for energy as well.

The best solution is the wiring harness that gives the ballasts a direct connection to the battery all your factory electrical system does at that point is switch on or off the relay to send through the power or to shut it down.

Think of the ballasts like car amplifiers, nobody just hooks up an amp to any 12 volt source in the trunk. And likewise with the ballasts - it's best to run a dedicated power wire to the battery.

Hope that helps.

Clifford

Got my kit super quick. I couldn't wait to install it. I went out in -10 degree weather and installed them in 5 mins. They look great. I just need to aim them a little down tomorrow.

Freshly installed, enjoy!

stock

9006 50watt 8000k


The photos above were taken at the exact same angle and setting in the exact same environment. This should give you an idea of the exact color shift/intensity these kits offer!

It was great to talk with you man. I'm glad I was able to help!

I had some people ask about colors for car shows so I took some random photos with random colors... I only suggest that you use these colors for shows...

purple in the lows - pink in the fogs


12k in the lows- pink in the fogs.
