Default Anything Relating to HID

For you light maniacs out there. I'm here to help, answer, trouble shoot and even sell you our HID conversion kits.
Regardless if you've purchase our HID kits, I'll still answer the questions and trouble your are having as long as it's related to HID.

I also have a post in the classified section. Link listed below.

I'm curious if NHTSA has contacted you yet about selling HID kits? They're cracking down on HID retailers, just FYI. That's why XenonEyes and some other major retailers are now out of business, because the fines weren't pretty. And they've made it clear that saying "for off road use only" is not sufficient, because you cannot control the application of the HIDs once they leave your possession. A BS law I think, but watch out because they're going to get to you eventually.

I was just trying to give them a heads-up. If you think a $95,000 fine is funny, then by all means take a chance. I'm not bashing these guys - they may have a very legit business going (as I'm sure they do, and is evidence by their feedback here); its just a fact that HIDs are illegal to use, and to sell/import. Hell, mobileHID is selling farm lighting now, instead of HIDs lol. Do a google search for "xenoneyes nhtsa" and you'll see the cases brought against them... I think it's ridiculous but I'm not the govt.

HI,

We haven't got any problems yet, since we don't install the kit and we never recommened any color over 8K to customers since the bluer it is the more intimidating you are. Either way, we are the direct manufacturer and we also OEM for major companies out there that sells our kit at over $200/kit. If that's the case it might hit us in a different perspective but thanks for the heads up!

Hi,

We don't sell 55 watt ballast for the following reason

1.) 55w is only 15% more brightness
2.) because of the his 15% more brightness, it burns out the bulb and the ballast faster
3.) The 55w is 2-3x's more expensive than 35w.

So it's not worth carrrying and using the 55w .

Thanks!
