jdkobe Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Ok, here is what is holding my up from jumping on this boat - my wife wants to keep the DRL's. How easy will it be to change the power of the DRL's to full power so that the HIDs would be on with the DRLs - aka running the HIDs during all hours of operation of the car. Surely, someone must have an equally stubbern wife (also, tried to tell her to just turn on the headlights if that is what she wants ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03Indigo Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 it would be much easier to re-wire your fogs to come on...but honestly, I would leave the Xenons on, and when you turn the car on and off, they will turn on and off automatically...thus like a DRL....plus, you will have your tail lights on. so, the easiest mod is to just leave your lights on all the time, and just drive it, hehe. I just leave them off during the day, and if traffic is getting more congested, I turn them on, thinking it might make a bit of difference for the person in front of me changing lanes. Most other cars that run DRL with Xenons, have some sort of orange light or a dimmed bright that they use, not the Xenons.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illt3ck Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'd be concerned with the life expectancy of a xenon bulb when used as DRL ... How much are replacements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03Indigo Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 a new bulb generally runs you around $100 or so, but these have a 3 year warranty, so they may cover the replacement if they burn out. Just make sure NOT to touch the bulbs as you install them. I actually wear hospital latex gloves when handling the bulbs, that prevents oil from my fingers getting on them....and that oil will cause them become defective...the oil turns dark brown, and covers up the arc...so, that is wasted light.

sportwagon Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 thinking about it... or Cobb AP...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkobe Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 I'd be in if we can hit the 15 kits mark - Otherwise I'm holding off as we can buy direct for 415+15shipping directly now( 4100 k kit) - website shows a $35 dollar off special - 'for limited time'. I'm guessing prices are starting to fall on product. Can we go back and play this other HID group buy off the XenonFactory for more competitive pricing?

sportwagon Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 OK... if it's down to one more... you said I can use AMEX, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikazeridah Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 They only take VISA and MC over the phone. AMEX has to go through Paypal. Nope they don't take Amex so you're gonna have to go through paypal like me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportwagon Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 oh, but I have my amex as my paypal credit card... will that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikazeridah Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Yeah that will work since it's still going through paypal first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportwagon Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 OK then! One question first... alright! I had an HID kit for my WRX with the UK300's It was made by X5, and I think it was a 9006K... Whatever it was, it was purple... and I liked it! (lol... I'm not fruity, I swear! lol) What kit would be similar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportwagon Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 The 6000K kit is what I'd want, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportwagon Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Yeah, I saw that... But, I'll do it! 6000K When do I pay? What Kind of shipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonk Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 A full set of 3000k HIDs for the low beams and fog lights would be nice.... hmmmm Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03Indigo Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 03Indigo changed his mind earlier (now he's got some mods coming ), but it shouldn't be hard to find 1 more buyer, coz I have posted to 4 other car forums... I will post to more forums this weekend, if necessary. yeah, I got a few mods coming....coil overs, under braces, end links, sways, blah, blah, blah...should all be here in less than 2 weeks. I still think this is a kick ass group buy, and everyone should feel way confident in the products. I already have a Xenon kit in my outback, and was gonna use this kit for the Toyota Tacoma, but gonna hold off for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkobe Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Guys - I know we only need one more for the 1st price break and 5 more ppl for the second price break... I'm still interest if we can get it to the second level price break... just for financial reasons... Question, have we posted any of this info over on NASIOC or subaruoutback.org? Surely we can pick up 5 orders from one of those sites. I guess the difference is do we want to save $53 or $74 dollars off current retail. jdkobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikazeridah Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I have no problem in waiting since I'm not in a rush or anything. I also have no problem in paying the higher price either. Therefore I leave the decisions up to you guys . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Hi - I'm a moderator over at http://www.mazdaworld.org and was asked if we'd be interested in joining this group buy. I myself am not financially inclined to go for HIDs yet, but I know other members of the site are and I've posted this GB opportunity for them. Hopefully, you'll get some response today or tomorrow.

Duncan Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Thanks Duncan! If you're the one who sent me the PM - please head over to MW if you would and post the details in the Group Buy forum, so people know what's up. I just posted your message to me in there for now.
