Output Ratings - 2500-3300 Lumens
Application Types - HX <-- all, 900X <-- All

WHY BUY PROLUMEN? There are Soooooo many other brands to choose from

1.Prolumen QUALITY
EMark CertificationISO9001 CertificationTS Certification


2) ProLumen are tested more accurately

Real testingProfessional Testing InstrumentsReal Test Data 4000KReal Data 6000K

the funny thing about these claims are, how do you know other companies are not doing the same with the testing and also the same certificate?

I'm sure other companies do, but many companies which will not go named, do NOT.

the point is, you can buy projectors for your car and then do this HID.

your argument is like saying....why buy gas from a station when the sell cars at a dealer...

question, do these kits hum. I have dont many kits and about 90% of them hum. THe sound actually comes from the ballast box. The only kit that I have delt with that doesn't make any noise is Polarion.

Also, are these kits fused at all, or do they rely on the factory wiring only.

Just trying to find out a little extra info, before buying.

Heres a warning from your website....

NOTE: This kit does NOT include a projector or a projector housing. It is for this reason that we recommend putting it in headlight packages such as the Projector46's, or in applications not requiring projectors (fog lights). In some circumstances, your car may already have projectors, in which case you should disregard this warning. Failure to use projectors to focus your HID bulbs will result in glare and dispersed light, possibly causing a road hazard for other drivers!
Isn't this a little bit of a contradiction? I'm not singling you guys out or anything, but this goes for everyone wtf is the point of advertising this poop to people who most likely don't have projectors. Next thing you know it you cause a freaking family van to become blinded and crash into a damn pole killing both parents and children.
We are actually working on some projector options for Scion owners.

With that said, the warning on our website is there as a precaution. You have to be VERY careful when putting HIDs in a reflector housing. It can be done very safely and is done from the factory on older Lexus' and Toyotas. With that being said, they have to be aimed correctly, if done HIDs can be a great lighting upgrade that will in no way cause glare to oncoming drivers. The warning is just there to make sure that you understand the potential consequences of a misinstalled HID kit

These kits make no extra noise when off. They are completely silent, never heard of an HID kit that hums nor would we ever sell such a product.
