Just wanted to start a new thread to remind everyone that there is a group deal now available for the Hi/Lo beam HID kit that I was talking about earlier. Sizes are for h4 and 9004. Click the link for more info

Details Here

 

I don't wanna crap in your thread, but here's my opinion. running the HID's @ a higher wattage doesn't float my boat. The bulbs are already maximized to run at 35watts optimally. Running more juice leads me to
think they're gonna blow up or something strange will happen. If it were that easy to make the bulbs brighter, why don't the big companies do that already? If it's legal issues, who care? 8000k is already illegal.

2nd, increasing the brightness is not what high beams are for. Hi beams are angled upwards so that light falls farther down the road. That's why you can't use high beams when there's a car 500feet in front of you...you will blind them cuz your high beams are angled higher.

3rd, if somebody wants true dual HID w/o the mechanicals, contact http://www.lampbulbs.com.tw/products/products.htm and I guarantee you will get your kit for under $400 shipped. I know...I already did.

Thurznite,

I'm glad you have an opinion. However here's mine. $400 is a LOT of money and I don't want to be burned once again, by buying a product from overseas that is of my opinion of inferior design.

It's also of my opinion that even though you say you don't wanna CRAP on my thread I think you most certainly do; simply by the fact that you turned all the selling points of your kit against mine. No hard feelings though. Cause hey, you gotta do what you gotta do and business is war. However just for clarification, I'm not making a dime from any of this. I'm just trying to give org members another option. Sure mine is more expensive however I’ve learned all to well in this day and age that you get what you pay for.

But let’s get down to the facts shall we.

Companies have been trying. The issues that they were running into with an electronically based non-solenoid hi/lo system was finding a ballast that could convert an electrical current safely, with out blowing the bulb. As well as keeping the size of the ballast small enough to effectively do the required task, and still remain marketable.

Well the race has been won. A German manufacturer (name withheld) has recently developed a ballast that can accomplish such a task. And I’m sure the “big companies” are already knocking on their door.

Meanwhile, if you're worried about blowing bulbs, these kits come with a 3 year no questions asked warranty which covers the bulbs as well. I sure wish my original Panasonic HIDs came with this kinda warranty.

How long are the warranties on these Taiwanese kits btw? Most other companies that are selling these kits offer a six month warranty or even a year if you're lucky.

If I recall correctly, increasing the brightness is INDEED what high beams are for. That’s the whole premise of how halogens bulbs work for our maximas. Can someone tell me how 9004 55w/65w halogen bulbs work? Increase the wattage and voila, you have high beams. That maybe a simplified explanation however this HID kit is no different. Let me also point out the most important similarity between my kit and a stock maxima lighting system; NO MOVING PARTS.

I would suggest contacting MR JUNG in Taiwan and ask if his kit is solenoid based. If so, it’s the same hi/lo beam system that everybody else has. This means, Moving Parts. If they can not answer you, I’d question their product.

Now, this is all opinion vs. facts. Everyone has the right to their own decision, but consider buying a product for $400 without any guarantees, or a product that is a bit more but comes with more perks, backed 100% by a substantial warranty, and handled within US shores.

I would choose wisely. And Jae, if you have anymore crapping to do please PM me. I respected your thread please respect mine.

 

I'm posting cuz I want to educate other members. I make no $ off either of the GD I've posted. I just pass along the deals. Since neither of us care for $, let's just throw facts down. I don't care if you flame me. I don't represent MisterJung or Big Sun, nor do I think they're the best. I believe they're the best bang-for-buck HID.

I still don't like the higher watted HID. There's no reason why this couldn't have been accomplished before recent times. It should have been possible at least a year ago, not the last month. How did this company figure it out? CATZ didn't tell how their Zeta works, but it's a simple EE trick that EE majors don't like.

I'm totally for a non mechanical based high beam. However, the hi beams must be angled higher. If you're driving 65 w/no street lights, you will overdrive your lo beams. Hi beams are not only brighter, but they're angled a lil higher to spray light farther down the road, so you're not overdriving your lights as much. they are also angled upwards to shine onto road signs, giving you more warning of what's to come ahead. Low beams are angled downwards so as to not shine into other driver's eyes, blinding them.

For example, fog lights are not effective in lighting up the road very far. They are aimed low and wide to hit reflectors and road hazards...but you will easily overdrive them. That's when you need driving lights, mounted 24" above the ground and pointed nearly straight ahead. Both are damn bright, but only the driving light will help when driving fast or if you need to see far.

The 3year waranty offered by the company you represent is outstanding. I've never seen anything longer than 2year waranty. That's awesome. Big Sun's kit is waranted for only 1year...and if you do have a problem, good luck, cuz you're dealing w/an overseas company. That's why I'm not handling the GD and have passed it off to my importer, so he takes the risks.

Just to clear things up, MisterJung and Big Sun are 2 different companies, offering 2 diff kits. MisterJung's got awesome single beams $370shipped 18mth waranty, Big Sun's got dual beams $370shipped 12mth waranty.

Anybody else wanna chime in on this?
