If you wanna know what mine truly look like,check out the factory Acura HID system. Mine are brighter and a lil more purple.
Another example: One night I lined up next to Joesmax(02'MAX)by his house, and his HID looked like pair of halogens compared to mine

I'm still trying to figure out why people like Hanabi over every other brand.
I like McColouch (or however you spell it). They use propriety bulbs, which's a good thing. They have lil chips in the bulbs that detect variences in the electricity it receives...so if it spikes, drops, or gets dirty power, it will automatically shut down to prevent damage to the bulb, ballast/igniter, or car electrical system. Pretty smart stuff.
The bulbs are shaped differently than most other brands so they don't spray light as much. The beams are closer to original. Many HID kits cheat you to think their system is brighter by allowing light to spray to the sides and upwards (blinding other drivers). The McCollouchs handle OEM headlight housing than others.
I've seen some Hanabi kits and they're not all the same. I've seen Hanabi 6000k on diff cars and the color output is not the same...and I'm pretty sure it's not the headlight housing. On the McCollouchs, 6000k looks the same in diff cars. I think McCollouchs has tighter specs...perhaps that's why Hanabi's are lower priced?
McCollouchs are only $30-50 more than the Hanabi, but for the quality and features, they are well worth it.

Well the major factor is.....pretty much everybody on the org is into the Hanabi kit. You know how they stick together. If you want the McCulloch like myself and D1NOnly34 has I can get it to you for 335 shipped which is cheaper than the Hanabi kit. Its your money though.I havent had any complaints about my kit though...... Its kinda like people on here not like the altezza lights. Get the picture?

the hanabi kits are alway being upgraded, our 6500k ,7000k & 8000k are all new and already will be upgraded with new things, i say things because i really can't talk about it. does McColouch ever upgrade there kits?
as we all know hella is the kit to beat because they to are always upgrading and looking to better there hids. i was told that this year at the sema show one of the biggest talk was about hids. 2 company's that took the show in hid was hella & hanabi. we have 2 companys that want to buy hanabi right now but i think my importer will not sell. didn't hear anything about the McColouch kit. don't even now if they went to the sema show.
1 week ago we had about 600 kits instock, now we have about 300 kits and the new order will be here in a week thats 300 kits sold in 1 week. you can ask GoldenGlory which came down from Queens, i took him to the back and showed him our stock and how we test all the kits. how many McColouch kits do you have instock for sales or replacement? and how many ppl have you sold McMolouch hids too?
hanabi is now working on a few new hid product that i hope will be out by feb. 2003, if 3 of the new product come out to work at 100% we will control all the states.
does McColouch sell anything else that has to do with cars? i think not because they make tools not hids or auto parts. we here at hanabi have hids, foglights, mufflers, zenon bulbs, side-markers, M3 mirrors, l.e.d. sray washers that have the altezza look which has been #1 for about 1/2 a year already.
i could talk about the difference between the McColouch company and the hanabi company all day and always show how hanabi is better but i have to get to work right now.
those that buy the hanabi hid kit know that they are backed-up by me and not some store that has a few instock.
i'm not here to tell anyone not to buy the McColouch, hella, philips, K2 and FAKE hanabi kid kits. you buy what you want, it's your money. i just have the power to back up what i sell and i do it good.

As I said, I can't handle the business side of it so I turned it over to a company well respected by Nissan enthusiasts. We can only wait to see what kinda deal he can pull off. I trust their pricing cuz they will beat anybody's price on any product they carry...their prices are so low that Stillen has told them to stop advertising their Stillen products (and I think Cattman said the same thing).
As for me, I'm awaiting my trial kit...I returned the MisterJung kit cuz I was fed up with his customer service... You get what you pay for, and I got a helluva deal w/his kit, but in the end, decided that I couldn't install a product if he wasn't going to honor the warranty.
I have nothing against Hanabi. This's the 1st time I've seen substantial information about their kit on the .org. If they have a superior product @ a lower price, then go ahead and purchase. 97GLE, can you give specific details as to the features that make your kit superior to others? I'm pretty sure other HID companies make regular improvements but perhaps choose not to make as much WoooHaaa cuz they don't need the hype. Your sales pitch of "i say things because i really can't talk about it" and "i could talk about the difference between the McColouch company and the hanabi company all day and always show how hanabi is better" leave me hanging.

As for me, I'm awaiting my trial kit...I returned the MisterJung kit cuz I was fed up with his customer service... You get what you pay for, and I got a helluva deal w/his kit, but in the end, decided that I couldn't install a product if he wasn't going to honor the warranty.
I have nothing against Hanabi. This's the 1st time I've seen substantial information about their kit on the .org. If they have a superior product @ a lower price, then go ahead and purchase. 97GLE, can you give specific details as to the features that make your kit superior to others? I'm pretty sure other HID companies make regular improvements but perhaps choose not to make as much WoooHaaa cuz they don't need the hype. Your sales pitch of "i say things because i really can't talk about it" and "i could talk about the difference between the McColouch company and the hanabi company all day and always show how hanabi is better" leave me hanging.

one thing i don't understand is you backup a kit (Mister jung) you have never used before and don't know anything about but you tell everyone about the McColouch kit that you passed on because you went with the Mister jung kit. what is all that about?
you also said that you passed over the business to another company. i would like to know how many kits you sold of each kit from each company. i was told you sold 3 kits.
this is why no one will follow you, all you think about is a cheap price and forget about BACKING YOUR PRODUCT UP. if it was all about price than everyone here would have a $99 kit from e-bay.
you say you don't have any time, i don't. i work 9 to 10hrs a day, i have a wife and a 7yr old and a 7 months old and i reply to all my e-mails every night. i take care of those that have problems with my kit too and i sell and i post here. this is what ppl want, a person that can back them up.
as you see i never down-graded your kits nor step into your threads (sales) and i never said anyhthing bad about you but every time you here hanabi you attack that person and thats not very nice.
i hope we can end this on a nice note. you do what you want, i do what i want and let the ppl buy what they want. i haven't and will not trash you or any of your product and will not step into your sales.

Joo owned him!
Going for personal attacks now? I'm not selling anything. I also don't advocate MisterJung's kits, especially since his warranty sucks. If nobody takes risks, then the maxima modding community will die.
I've contacted my friend in S Korea and sent her $ to get me a set of those clear taillights. I dunno if they'll fit...if they do, that's great. If not, then oh wells, I'm stuck w/clears that don't fit. Maximas aren't like other rice cars where companies are dying to make a profit off of.
I've found out that many nissan sedans use similar short shifters and am prototyping a new one specific for 3rd, 4th, and 5th gens respectively. I'm pushing the maxima envelope. you're pushing for profits. totally diff goals. please stop the personal attacks.
back to the products. I've made a few points about the mccullochs. i haven't seen any facts about the hanabis (except the sales and promotional numbers you posted). If we put a hanabi and mcculloch set next to each other, tell me what features I should look for in a quality HID kit. convince me that your product is superior. pretend i'm some riceboy and throw me the technical terms. (for example, put a budget vs warpspeed vs stillen vs cattman Y on a table and tell me the pros of each one) Just cuz CamCords (hanabi) sell in high volume doesn't mean Maximas (mcculloch) suck.
i admit i'm going with an unknown brand of HID (again) and hoping this time the results will be more pleasing.

edit: just thought of another breakthrough I've pioneered: real 80/100 mtec bulbs that don't burn out the stock headlight wiring harness, yet are brighter than stock and produce a brilliant 4350k white light that you probably won't get pulled over for. My point is, I'm not here to make a profit. I'm trying to educate people so they can make decisions for themselves and be satisfied with their purchase. I have no idea what the sales volume of the misterjung or big sun kits are. like i said, i make no profit nor am i sponsored by any company.

back to the subject... McCulloch's kits are fully waterproof. They also give you a long harness, which's important if you don't want your HID kit to be easily stolen. The igniter and ballast are pretty small and you can easily hide them in your fender or bumper area. Since they are waterproof, you don't hafta worry about them getting wet.
McCulloch just came out with a 7000k kit. Over 30years, they figured that 7000-8000+ color isn't very useful, not as bright, and you'll probably get pulled over for having "blue" or "purple" lights.
They also figured out how to prevent Luxo Car's "bulb warning" light to come on. On some luxo cars, if a bulb is burnt out, you'll get a dash light. I think this's done by monitoring resistance (I could be wrong. I'll hafta check). McCulloch recognized this and created stricter tolerances in providing clean power to the HID bulbs, which won't trigger the warning light. We don't have a warning light, but it's good to know that McCulloch is constantly improving their kits and making customer satisfaction a high priority.
