digital slim 50W ballast are rated (in your own words in the group deal section) to last 6-10 months, according to your testing on two seprate vehicles. Why are you still trying to sell them then????

Where did I say that?!?!?!?!

Digital ballasts are higher quality than their Analog counterparts. Get your facts straight before posting.

sorry different seller, same type fo kit 50 w digital slim ballast.

"We do have slim digital 50 watts ballast but i don't recommend it. We test 2 kits of the slim digital ballast. 1 is on a R6 another is on a 02 m3. Both kit fail at about the same time which is 6-10 month. Now if you really want it i can sell it to you, and the kit will still cover under 1 year warranty, however is a hassle for you to deal with the RMA."

Ebay

Im new to Maxima.org and this is the first thread im reading, I am looking for a xenon setup for my fogs and I was hoping I will find a place on here to buy my fogs, I know now that I will not be buying it from umnitza customer service is number 1 in my book even if you have to take a loss. I purchased a setup for my prelude 2 years ago on ebay and they are still going strong, infact my friends like mine so much that I order about 9 to 10 kits for there cars. I guess its best for me to stick to ebay.

Thanks for the difference.
The 07 would cost significantly less because you could only do one set of rings, not a total of 4.

Do you offer something for the 2005's to replace the BS Sylvania bulbs as the main head light?

I do plan on getting your angel eye kit though.

sure, no problem. my biggest worry is installation as well, i don't know how it'll work out - i mean do you think a local body shop that has licensed mechanics be able to install these? they have dealt with my car a number of times, their the ones who are fixing my car - i'll be getting it tommorow. they have installed my fogs and active tuning grounding kit. if i could get them installed by them, that'll be sick - how long usually does it take to install these?

p.s - yeah i got into an accident unfortunately...hence why i said their fixing my car.

Honestly its pretty simple, but I just think its better to have a shop do it..The only real problem is sealing the headlights back up, since you have to open them to put the kit in..Let me know how it goes, defintly want to do this also.

Does anyone know roughly the cost to put factory HID ballast and bulbs in a 07? I have an SE and want to have the HIDs that come with the SL package.

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay, notifications went down.
The HIDs are not much if you have a projector, just get this HID kit and you'll be set - you can get 4300K, it's the best output unit.

You could do so at the same time as the angel eyes install.

replied to you, so I'll post it here:
Let me explain why.
in order for us to do this, it's 3 hours of minimum work.
usually 5-6. That means, I have to charge for that time - which is usually $50 an hour. So it's $300.
I could discount the labor by $100, but then you'll still be paying about $450 + whatever you want us to do with it - paint black ($50), remove parts ($?) etc.

the only reason I'm offering a discount is if we don't have to do work and we get the pictures instead. Call it a "trade" if you wish.

well, i hope it's not too much cause if it's gonna cost me 100-300 $ to install it, i won't be doing it bro. that's way too much, sure it might look nice and all but if it's going to cost me that much, i'm better off putting the same amount of money for something else so i'm hoping it's not expensive.
