I talked the guy down from $225 on the first day of NOPI to $140 while he was packing stuff up. They're the cool ones that pop on, not just fade on. Also, they're blue as heck.







These HIDs were a really easy install. you just make a 25MM hole, plug everything up, mount the inverter, and it's ready to rock. The units came with a lifetime warranty.

They're also extremly bright! you wouldn't believe the difference when driving with HIDs.

LOL like 5 people that rolled with us bought those too and got them for that price. I think I'm going to take a few sets down there next year and sell them for $20 below what theyre asking.

I don't see how they could have got them for $140. I haggled hard quite a few times to get them down to $175. Durring the long Honda section of the awards ceremony, I went back to the booth and gave him a final offer while he was packing his stuff for $140, which he claimed was 0 profit for him. He sent me over to the other booth where they still had them out and I talked to the guy there who looked at me funny and said, "Jim authorized that price? I can't even authorize that price."

I'm 99.9% sure its all a marketing gimmick, because my buddies that bought them said he wanted $250 starting out and they kept talking him down and got it to that price and he was like now my managers not in here now but when he is I can't do this price... very good sales tactics, seriously like 4 or 5 people I was with bought them... I seriously plan on taking a few sets next year and selling them below the lowest they will go.

Mine are 10K and are nowhere near that blue. Everyone that got those are extremely colorful, one said it was 8k and theyre STRAIGHT PURPLE... They also sold my buddy the wrong size bulbs claiming all projectors take h3's the first day but he returned them the second after he realized they wouldnt work.

WAY too blue for my tastes... 8,000k isn't purple... 10,000k or 12,000k would be.

Correct my if I'm wrong, but my experience has been:
4,000k is white
6,000k is light blue
8,000k is blue
12,000k is more purplish


those almost look fake... you got pics of the product before or after installation? box? take some pics of the ballasts for us. Is the ballast plastic or metal?
