They're working, I was just hoping that it would be more plug and play. It seems like I am the only one with the problem though. Matt is a big help though in solving the matter. Anyone with a 4th gen get matching h3 bulbs for the foglights? Want to see how it looks like.

 

Well, im going to have to take back all of my comments. His customer support is terrible. He sent me the wrong kit before, I ordered a 6000k and he gave me a 5000k kit instead. He admitted to the problem but would not give me a full refund if i wanted to return the kit. Also, his 9004 kits are not plug and play like advertised. I had to splice wires (didn't tell people before hand that you mixed up the 9004 and 9007 connectors did you?) and dremmel out holes to make them fit. I told him it was not worth my time, and would rather buy a plug and play kit(one main reason being resale value, most people would not buy a hacked up kit). He offered me a refund minus his shipping and handling and my shipping and handling. Great, so im down 25 dollars and have nothing to show for it. Thanks a lot Matt.

 

 

Let's see, where do we begin. Why don't you tell the whole story instead of just half of it?

1) You ordered the kits.
2) We made a mistake on the shipping of one type instead of another, which we were not informed of but acknowledged as a mistaken once we were informed.
3) Your kit's crossed power wires were discovered post shipment and it was a simply swap of wires, while not "plug and play" no one would be inconvenienced too greatly by swapping wires. This was discovered post shipment and had nothing to do with us, it was a swap by our supplier on 3 out of 20 kits we shipped (19 actually, but I rounded after checking).
4) Your fitment issue was the first and only one we've heard of those 19 units. In fact, the 9004 fit 2 Porsches (which you may recall I told you over the phone) and at a minimum 8 Maxima. Yours was different.
5) I spent approximately 4 hours on the phone with you discussing various issues that might be a problem, you kindly sent pictures and we worked through the issue until you had it resolved. There was not any "hacking" - a minor dremel to clear an issue that was in the way, nothing more. Don't create more than there was there.
6) I even said that if you still don't or arent' able to make it fit, I'd take back your kit for a FULL REFUND - minus your return shipping and the shipping to you.
7) However, you did make it fit, quite easily it seemed after we spoke, then decided you didn't want it anymore, even after acknowledging on the phone that not only did it fit it also provided good light output.

8) I have 2 witnesses (a Mazda 3 that was getting HID and a Porsche driver) that heard me speak to you, not only politely but professionally. I gave you two options, allow us to replace your HID kit that we shipped with the wrong K, or you would be returning everything and you'd pay for shipping to return everything.

Here's the bottom line.

What company allows you to order a custom product (HID retrofits are considered custom, no matter how plug and play) works with you for 4 hours to resolve issues, offers to take back the kit even after you did some pre-configuring, and still takes back a kit that you "decided you didn't really want after all".

Next time, we'll set the cards out better - but the kits are fine, they plug and play. It was one issue with a 9004 bulb base.

Again, as I have done many times to you over the phone, I apologize for the inconveniences you had. However, I did apologize to you over the phone several times and even asked you to ship them back at EVERY step of the way that you called.

So, please, tell both sides of it next time. An attempt to post to discredit what we do, when you just posted I was helpful, that's just not nice.

 

Alright Matt, so even after reading all the posts, I am still a confused noob (hence the title under my name). I need the entire 6000K kit that fits a stock 2001 Maxima. Barring trouble like Squard's, are the kits plug and play? Will I retain both low and high beam capabilities? How many hours are these kits supposed to last (like 90,000 hours or so?). Also, will I have to buy any extra accessories, like a new battery in order to run HID's or will my DieHard be enough? Thanks for all the help, I'm very interested.

 

9003 bulbs inside your 2001 housing can be replaced with H4 bulbs.

Those we have are Hi/Lo as well.

Hours = 3000
Hi/Lo
Lumen Output = 3000 for 5000K, 2600-2800 6000K
No need for a new battery, they use less wattage than stock.

Ballasts provide all the wiring.

I am going to recommend you purchase the Xtec 375 kit because it's a better Hi/Lo kit than the rest out there.

 

MaximaPolak, those fogs look sick!

Anyhow, here are a few shots I took last night, pardon the crappy canon digicam.

Viscous, Would you be able to post a pic later showing HID's at night from about 100 yards in front of the car...want to judge the blueness/whiteness of the light emitted. And is that low beam 5000k and highs are 6000k or what?

 

is there anymmore d2r bulbs in 6k left????

 

coming in 3 days

 

Matt, the fact is that I was helping YOU out by taking pictures. You suggested trying some things and said take pictures so i can send them to my manufacturer to help solve the problem. If like you said, I never planned to keep them in the first place, then why would I order them in the first place? Why would I spend hours modifying them and taking pictures to help YOU make sure that it doesn't happen again? I'm not disagreeing that you've sold a bunch of kits and they all fit perfectly, but have you ever considered the possibility that maybe one kits was slightly off? After all, like I said it was only about a millimeter off when I had to dremel. I could understand you not paying return shipping if the product was 100% perfect, but the fact is that one wasn't even what I ordered, and the 2nd was far from perfect. I'm glad you think that you're professional, but I also run my own business and happen to deal with a lot of customers from maxima.org and I thought you were just plain rude. Sure, you didn't lose your temper, didn't name call, etc. but did you ever consider that not listening to your customers is also considered rude? I would not be posting here if you LISTENED to me on the phone.

 

Damn....cant you guys just handle this between each other by emails or pms than using the forum to fight.

 

I just ordered a h4 hi/low kit from umnitza. In business you have to understand that their are exceptions and mistakes do happen. I will keep you guys posted on my experience.

 

I asked to take pictues to document the issue you had.
We had not heard of this. If you were unwilling to do so, you should just simply pick your stuff together and ship it back.

What steps you are or are not willing to take has nothing to do with us.

As a user just pointed out, please either discuss this offline if you wish to continue to do this.

 

umn, i have a ?, what kit do i need for a '01 with AE projectors, and how much, also what is the ease of installation? thanks

 

You have H3 bulbs.
We have H3 in stock and it is plug and play.

Despite the one issue with a 9004 system, we've never had issues with the Xtec H3 setup. Those are the ones shown above in the fog pictures.

 

we are running out of stock very quickly, so if you'll not mind, there may be up to a 3 day delay on some of your orders

 

ehy since im ordering later this week....will you be out of stock???....we spoke in e-mail if you remember...
-J

 

Anyone have a picture of 5000K?

 

If you would like, please visit www.umnitza.com/gallery and visit the HID section
5000K is pure white.

 

scroll up about 10 posts and you can see several shots of the crystal white light output from the stock 9004 housings.

 

I'm interested in a set and would like to know if you ship to Toronto, Canada.

But first, a dumb question though because I don't know if I should get a H4 kit or 9004... The factory harness on a 96 Maxima is 9004 but I use a harness on that to go to H4 because that's what the Cefiro headlights I changed to uses. So would I get a 9004 HID harness to fit my factory wiring with H4 bulbs to fit the headlights or how does that work. I just don't want to go from one harness to another (safty and wiring mess). I'm a little confused in that aspect and was wondering if anyone else thought the same or am I making this more confusing then it really is? Does anyone understand my dilemma or am I just sounding

Meaning if I was to go with a H4 6000K HID Kit, my wiring would be like this:
Factory 9004 socket -> 9004 - H4 Harness -> H4 Harness to Ballast -> Ballast to H4 Headlights. At least that's how I picture it.

Making any sense? Suggestions?

 

Everything you wrote is spot on.
Only issue is, do you have an H4 bulb fitting your 9004 socket on your headlight?

 

Headlight has fitting for H4 and that is what's used. I have a wire - One end H4 connected to the bulb, the other end a 9004 connector to go to the factory wiring.

So my question is can I get an H4 fitted HID bulb to go to the headlight and the harness that connects the ballast to the factory wiring in 9004.

 

There is only 1 type of harness that comes with one kit, we are unable to mix and match harnesses.

But the up side of this is that you already have a harness that connects between the two, so you can just re-use it. It's all just wire to wire connections

 

he sent me the wrong kit, i asked him to refund me the $20 difference between the xtec that i paid for and the prolumens. he refunded me the money. i didn't bother to bring up the issue of shipping it back, as i dont have time to deal with it. as for now, this feedback is neutral beacuse im in a good mood.

 

Bump for 6000k d2r bulbs. Any in stock yet?

 

what's the difference between prolumens and x-tec. who makes the ballasts, bulbs etc?

 

Xtec and ProL are similar.

 

uh, could you expound a little more than this.....

similar/dissimilar in what ways? which one is considered better in what ways and for what reasons etc.?

 

Any word on the hi/lo 9004 kits ?

 

Early march for 9004s, some difficulties.

Similarity is warranty.
Dissimilarity is specific to components - Prol uses Matsu****a, Xtec uses Hella-spec ballast.

 

Any chance of doing a DDE GB?

 

if you want to avoid any problem for installation, plug and play etc, go with maximabest, he has the best hid kit from HELIOS and i got mine directly from them.

 

Our products are:
a) less expensive
b) we are available by phone for support (can't do that from Taiwan can you?)
c) have more installations (over 100 in the last 2 weeks alone in this community)
d) and have no idiotic claims of 10000K <-- further proving the inadequacies of a certain vendor.

It's sad that Maximabest feels he has to get his stooges to jump into competitor's threads and post inflammatory and ignorant feedback. It really shows his true colors. Especially after leaving the community hanging for nearly 3 weeks without any replies. I guess he feels that putting you up to it might "save his rep" somehow.

Have a nice day, go troll somewhere else. Don't reply, you've said enough

EDIT: he's not even a sponsor...at least pay for the opportunity to post product sales.

We offered to pay when we first joined on and they were only accepting donations, so we made a sizeable one.

Now we pay for advertising just like the other LEGITIMATE vendors.

 

Umnitza can you reply to post #153 re. DDEs

 

you want a separate thread? Best we can do at this time is $179 shipped if we get 10 sign-ups.

 

seperate thread...maybe. Your website shows $149 + shipping for the 02-03 Max.

Thanks for the prompt reply

 

Do you have any 5000K H7s?

 

yes sir, about 8 of them.
