According to the first post these have a lifetime warranty, is that correct?

Yup. I'm that confident in the product as long as the kit is used in the way it was intended.

Also, this warranty is only offered to the SL community and to the best of my knowledge is the ONLY kit offered on here with that level of warranty/service.

Thanks.

Clifford

Thank you sir!
From shopping around quite a bit I will say that this seems to be a good kit (Kingwood?) at a decent price (others on the net are also offering lifetime warranties in this price range) but with your customer service backing it is what makes your deal superior. I will definitely get mine from you when the time comes!
Are your kits now shipping with a full set of instructions as well?

Yep, all kits are shipped with basic instructions. honestly- the kit almost pieces itself together due to the simplicity. the comparable philips kit actually has 2 grounds and isn't waterproof/rubber injected.

JP - thanks for the birthday wish.

I haven't checked out the $140 ones but I've actually done quite a bit of testing on mine to ensure my customers are getting a DAMN GOOD PRODUCT.

Check out my write up review on my site:

http://www.mobilehid.com/philips-review.htm

If you want cheap $140 kits, I have about 10 that I can give away for dirt cheap. In fact, I'll offer them here for - $130 SHIPPED!




I have 10 in stock with boxes and over 40 ballasts without boxes that just need to be connected to bulbs and given a (+) & (-) signal to fire up.

If you want the cheap stuff, I can offer it too. I simply choose not to offer up products that don't hold up to my strict requirements. They all work but they just haven't all passed my high requirements.

Who's interested?

Not meaning to thread jack but I have the $140 HID's. I have had them for about 4 months with zero issues. The quality is the same, just a difference in price.
Anyways free bump for your product since I decided to post here.

Thanks Niran for the free bump.

I doubt the quality is the same and I think there's a SLIGHT difference in the warranty offered.

There are differences in quality and R&D as well. The kits that Clifford is selling are based off of Kingwood components apparently. They seem to have a very high reputation for being a manufacturer in China. I googled quite a bit of information on them.
The warranty that he offers is also very good, lifetime, though is that lifetime through you as long as you work there, mobilehid the store, or the manufacturer itself?
That is one point I haven't looked into from your offer and I guess now is a good time to hash it out for all to see.
Most HID enthusiast sites with exhaustive research will agree that in this day and age most of the HID kits have decent enough ballasts, igniters, etc but the difference is in the bulbs. Run time for the German bulbs are said to be in the 3000 hour range (before they start to dim) whereas the Chinese/Korean/Japanese bulbs is said to be in the 2000 hour range before they start to dim. That's why some of these kits offered by the Asian companies will sometimes say "Components desigend in Germany!". However, the bulbs are still Asian.

Uber - those are good points. I actually source my kits from an independent broker prior to them being branded by Kingwood so yes, I suppose you could group my kits into that brand if you must.

The warranty is lifetime as in - for the life of the product there is a warranty against defects. As long as you use the product as intended in an environment where you would normally mount electrical equipment. For example, while the ballast and bulb are waterproof, I wouldn't suggest mounting this entire kit (including relay) under a boat and expect it to work indefinitely since the relay can fail. I'll be honest, the product isn't going to last forever - but what will?

Essentially, the warranty covers the functionability of the ballasts and bulbs and the wire harness as long as it is not abused or mounted under your car and subjected to salt corrosion. If a relay happens to fail, relays can be purchased at your local Radio Shack for approximately $12.

Naturally it would be ridiculous for me to claim the product will last FOREVER but there are companies out there that claim their products will. One of them being Never Burn Out. www.neverburnout.com.

I agree that there are MANY kits out there that have "Made in Germany" printed on them but I guarantee that not all of them are. Believe me, I've done a lot of testing. I don't believe it's necessarily due to the bulb life though, I think they claim their ballasts are made in Germany since the world believes German electronics are the "Best". Ask your nearest BMW owner about German electronics and I'm sure he'll beg to differ though.

In other news - for those of you who are going to D1 in Vegas - keep an eye out for some REALLY well lit drift cars. MobileHID.com is sponsoring one of the drift teams that will be out there this weekend!
