Paradox Systems HID kits

I’ve been able to renegotiate pricing with my suppliers to get our customer better (lower) prices on the HID kits. Another plus is, since H3 minis have been so popular I’ve been able to get them at not additional charge to the customer.

Standard Kits ( 2 year warranty )
5000K, 6000K, 8000K, 10000K $120 shipped
12000K, 20000K $125 shipped
3000K $135 shipped

Digital Kits and Slim Kits ( 2 year warranty )
6000K, 8000K $160 shipped
12000K, 20000K $165 shipped
3000K $175 shipped

Budget Kits ( 1 year warranty )
6000K, 8000K $110 shipped

Bixenon, D2R and D2S kits are $25 additional.
As mentioned no additional charge for H3 Minis.

Can I see a pic of your H4 Bi-Xenon Bulb?

Also how much would a pair of 6000k replacement bulbs cost?

also what are the fundamentals between the Digital Kits and Slim Kits VS THE STANDARD KITS?

thanks

I'm going to try to take a pic tonight of the H4 Bixenon for you.

6000K replacement bulbs are $60 shipped.

Digial Kits (from the website):
"The HID Kits Warehouse Digital Conversion kit comes with our standard digital ballast. 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. "

The Slim Kits use a smaller version of the standard magnetic ballast. These are the ballasts used for motorcycle kits but popular for applications in cars that have little room to install ballasts or just to hide them better.

The standard kit uses a regular magnetic ballast that you see in most HID kits available elsewhere.

The budget kit is like the standard kit but does not come with a two year warranty.

How much just for the ballast. I have a 35w 6000k prolumens hid kit and one of the ballasts burned out. Will your ballast work?

Budget ballasts are $60 shipped
Standard ballasts are $65 shipped
Digital ballasts are $85 shipped
Slim ballasts are $85 shipped

I assume they should work because I've been told (and from the kits I've seen) the connectors are universal. Try to compare to this pic: http://www.hidkitswarehouse.com/hids...ges/rbulbs.jpg

Sorry, got completely sidetracked and forgot the pics..

There are apparently two types of bixenon.. The first picture shows an H4 bulb where the shield moves up and down. The second is taken of a 9007 bixenon kit where the bulb moves up and down.

MaxMojo, I have a question for you. I have an '04 Maxima and my right headlight bulb went out (Xenon HID), I need to replace the bulb, but I would like to match it with what the factory brought seeing as to how my left side headlight is still working. What type of bulb would I need to get from you, how much, and also what's the difference between a standard kit and a digital kit?

To be perfectly honest with you, I do not have any personal experience with your car and do not have enough information to answer your question accurately.
Also if only your bulb went out, you won't need a ballast, so the standard and digital won't matter to you as that only applies to the ballasts.

From www.hidkits.info:

"The ballasts are the heart of any HID headlight system. Ballasts stabilize and maintain the “arc” created by igniting Xenon gas and other noble elements. Together these gases produce a brilliant white light, which can be manipulated by increasing or decreasing the composition of certain elements in the bulb. Ballasts are technologically complex units. They convert incoming power into a high voltage that ignites and maintains a steady stream of energy to the HID bulb. Without a ballast to convert and regulate the incoming power, the HID bulb will not function. A ballast also acts as a monitor for the lighting system. If there is damage to either the starter or the bulb, the ballast shuts down the flow of power to prevent further damage and exposure. Ballasts are designed to last several years with normal use.
A magnetic ballast is needed to control the electrical current that flows through the HID lamp. The ballast both ignites the light and keeps it lit. If electrical current was to flow into the light bulb at full voltage, the bulb would burst, so the controlling factor offered by the ballast is necessary for the correct function of any HID light. A magnetic ballast consists of one or more aluminum or copper coils that sit on a core that is made up of steel laminations. The coils and core work in conjunction with a capacitor, and sometimes an igniter. These four parts are most often built into the ballast casing.

A digital ballast offers the same electricity 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, a consideration in a greenhouse setting, 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. The digital units can also sense when the lamp is almost used up, and can shut the unit off when it is not functioning optimally."

OK, do the H3 minis refer to the bulb size or the ballast size?

I have a 2K1, and it has the short fog lamps that need all kinds of modification to get HID bulbs to fit because of length. Does a "mini" kit eliminate this problem?

Yes, bixenon will simulate a high beam so you will be able to flash people if need be.

The life of the bulb? They're normally rated at about 3000 hours.

Practically speaking the longest I've had a kit is in my Maxima and its been on the same bulbs since about 2005 and no problems yet.

I have an 2005. I want to replace my stock "yellow" looking fogs with fogs that match the color of my headlights.

Which ones would I need?

I don't know what color your headlights are, my best guess would be that 6000K or 8000K would work fine for you.

You would need to tell me what kind of bulbs you need, I assume its in your owner's manual. It comes with all wiring needed, no relays necessary.

Due to overwhelming demand for our digital ballasts, we're unable to keep them on the shelves. I've upgraded you to an even better quality of digital ballast that we're trying to get to replace the ones we currently have. They cost much more so there's some negotiation to be had. Regardless, we've upgraded you since we're out of the regular digital ballasts at the moment.

My headlights are a whitish color. I don't think they look very blue. I also have the same question as eK9aT10pSi as I am upgrading my bumper to an 07 bumper an will need fogs for the bumper.

Normally they would go out tomorrow and should be there by the end of the week, but being a holiday tomorrow, I expect a slight delay.

Just let me know what kind of bulb you need and I will be able to help. If your headlights are white and you're looking to match, I assume you need a 6000K kit.
