Paradox Systems HID Kits

Paradox Systems will be entering the HID business soon. We are currently stocking up and getting all the design stuff in place (labels, what not)
As an introduction to Maxima.org, we will be offering our kits at a discounted price.
I think a big bonus for our kits is that we offer a 2 year warranty on bulbs and ballasts against manufacturer defect.
We have taken our time to enter the HID business because we have been testing products from different sources and found the best product that we could at the best price. We are taking parts from different suppliers and piecing together our own kit in order to get you quality parts that we feel confident in offering a two year warranty on.
If you have had problems with flickering or know that your type of car has had problems with flickering, consider our digital ballasts.

Pricing:

Budget HID kit - $120 shipped for 6000K & 8000K in any bulb other than D2S, D2R
1 year warranty only on budget kit.

Standard HID kit - $150 shipped for any temperature, any bulb application
Comes with Magnetic Ballast
+$20 for H3 Mini (1.5" bulb)
+$20 for D2S or D2R bulbs
2 year warranty

Digital HID kit - $175 shipped for any temperature, any bulb application
Comes with Digital Ballast
+$20 for D2S or D2R bulbs
2 year warranty

Slim HID kit - $175 shipped for any temperature, any bulb application
Comes with Slim Ballast
+$20 for D2S or D2R bulbs
2 year warranty

For BiXenon, add $35 to the price (for H4, 9007 and 9004)
Available temps: 3000K, 5000K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K, 12000K, 20000K

All kits are in stock and ready to ship.

Please email me at hliu@paradox-systems.com with questions.
If you're ready to purchase, please visit the new site I've helped set up, www.hidkitswarehouse.com/hidshop use discount code MAXORG
$35 will be discounted which includes removing our standard $10 shipping cost.

In addition, $10 rebate for the first 10 people who purchase and can give a review of our products for the site.

So would you reccomend the digital ballast kit as the best of the three products? The info on the site suggests that it provides a more stable voltage to the bulbs. Is there any downside to the digital ballast?

I've got a set of HID's that are flickering occasionally and I'm thinking of upgrading to a different kit.

I have not heard of or experienced any negative impact as a result of the digital ballast. It has only proven to be an improvement. If you are experiencing flickering, I would expect the digital kit to help fix that problem.

Assuming you want the standard kit, it would be $170 shipped for the H3 mini bulb kit.

Just the D2R bulb in yellow would be $85 shipped for the set.

"Our digital ballast offers the same electrical control as does the magnetic ballast, but with the digital model the current conforms to optimal levels of performance for each specific type and wattage of lamp, possible through digital circuitry. Magnetic ballasts weigh more than do digital ones and they also run hotter than digital units. Because of the more consistent application of electrical current, the lamps last longer and function at a higher level using less power with a digital ballast than they might with a magnetic ballast. With a digital ballast, the light produced is more consistent. Magnetic ballasts, especially as they age, become more noisy when they operate, cause the HID lamps to flicker and also contribute to irregularities in the color that the lamp gives off.
This means you have a HID kit that lasts longer, runs more efficiently and eliminates any of the problems that normally would require capacitors or resistors to fix. The digital ballast is also slimmer and more compact.
All ballasts are waterproof and has been tested to function even when submerged in water and are proven to be heat resistant as well. "

Sorry, the H3 Mini is not included in the budget kit. It would be $170 shipped as mentioned.

Thanks

I have a Volvo S60r and a 2002 G20 Infiniti.

Do you guys really have H3 mini in Golden yellow 3000k?? I'm gonna use it on the Fogs for the Volvo S60r.

The g20 I'm probably gonna do the Fogs in HID another H3 mini, in 6000k, ready to ship?

Is the slim ballast considered digital?

Yes, we have the H3 mini (1.5" long bulb) in 3000K. We also have the H3 Mini in 6000k, both are ready to ship.

BTW, Slim ballasts are not digital.

I can tell you from experience that my wife finally allowed me to put HIDs in her car 6 months ago when I was getting samples in to test. I have 9007(?) 8000K bulbs in her headlights and they are white and have not changed color.

It should take 3-5 days to arrive once payment has cleared.

I will work with you to try to arrange a pick up but honestly I've always avoided pick ups because I'm never around. By the time we schedule something I could have probably have it shipped to you already.

Do you have 12000k? Which i'm guessing should be a purpleish color. I need them in h3's. If so how much and are they under a two year warranty? I would like the best ones. So that should be the digitals, right?

Do you mean the kind where there is a small halogen bulb next to the HID kit?
We have the BiXenon which moves the bulb to simulate high beams. That's $35 extra.
If you mean the other kind, I can get you a price tomorrow.

Yes, we do have 12000K in regular H3. Do you need them in H3 or the H3 mini? Our H3 Minis only go up to 10000K. The digital ones are the best ones, and come with a 2 year warranty. It would be $175 for the regular H3 in 12000K and $195 for H3 minis in 10000K.

i know you have the temps listed but if you have pic of the color of the temps from the kits you're offering ti would be awesome. i know sometimes the color of the same temp varies from brand to brand - or maybe that was just the ghetto kits my buddies bought. but i still think pics help


and really i want to see the diff in the 6k and 8k but interested to see what 20k look like cuz that **** is nuts son. i've never seen anything that high. is it even worht it? i mean is there even any visible light left?

and also i'm guessing you're doing a GD here cuz the prices on your site are a little more. should we still order through the site to get the deal?

The 6k and 8k are virtually identical, I personally can't see a difference. I have the 8000K in my wife's car and 6000K in the truck. I'll see if I can get some comparison shots.

When you get as high as 20k, its not as functional, its the color that you're getting.

As you can see in the yellow chart on this page, http://www.hidkits.info/, the luminosity of 20000K is much lower.

If you go through the site and use the discount code in the first post, you will get the GD pricing. (Basically, $35 off)

I just realized that the way our discount codes are set up on the site, it won't accurately reflect the GD price for multiple purchases. When you're ready to purchase, please email me at hliu@paradox-systems.com and I will send a paypal invoice.



Thanks

the discount code is not working for me...is this offered for members in Canada?

So I fill out everything, key in MAXORG and click Continue and the page re-loads to the previous page and I have to re-key everything again...?

Can you send me a paypal invoice to wheelz.big@gmail.com inc the discount? I'd like to get new bulbs...

I'm not sure what you're trying to order, from your message, I'm guessing replacement bulbs. The discount code is only good for kits, not replacement bulbs. Email me at hliu@paradox-systems.com with what you'd like to order and i'll get you the price.

Thanks

Yes I need the regular h3's in 12000k. Do I also get that $35 discount code? If so, can you please send me a link so I can purchase. Do you have any pics of the color? Should be a purpleish right?

Sorry, have to apologize.. I got my numbers backwards. 12000K is Purple, 20000K is Blue. You were right. But we do have bulbs that go that high.

Ill probably be interested in a 5000K kit. I think 6K has too much blue in it for me. Do you have in stock a 9004 5000K or 6000K single xenon. 150 shipped to 98281?

thanks chris
