HID BUYING GUIDE / TIPS:

What is it?
KAIXEN HID KITS:

The difference in light output is like night and day when compared with traditional halogen bulbs.

HID's are 3 X brighter than any Halogen bulbs. Typical halogen bulbs will give you anywhere between 500 to 1000 Lumens, while consuming 55 watts or more. HID on the other hand will give you 3200 Lumens (based on 4300K) which is more than 3 times the light output of halogens.

IT also lasts almost 10 times longer than halogens. HID bulbs will last around 2500 hours of usage. This means, it will last around 3 to 5 years of regular usage. Unlike $30 xenon bulbs that has a life expectancy of only a few months while causing risk of wire burn outs (due to extra power consumption).

http://www.autodoodad.com/productpicture.jpg

Complete, plug and play design, highest quality HID kits from Korea.
Solid repuation and history, with 1 year full replacement warranty.

Less Kelvins (K) has better Lumens (Brightness).
More Kelvins (K) has more Colours.

KEY FACTS:
1. These are 100% genuine Made in Korea brand.
2. Kaixen HID kits were first sold using Philips / Matushita ballasts and bulbs starting in 1999. Since then, Kaixen has received its own license as well as hiring several key engineers from Germany to develop its own high quality ballast / bulbs since 2002.
3. Kaixen is the only other company other than Philips to develop the diamond-cut bulbs.
4. Kaixen is ISO2001 registered, E13 certified, KQA quality assurance certified.
5. All Kits are made direct from the factory and are not "rebased" as most Philips HID kits are made.
6. Fit and finish quality is second to none.
7. Quality comparable if not better than OEM material.
8. Comes with 1-year full replacement warranty

Competitive comparision:
1. Made in China / Taiwan products: Yes, it's cheap. But not by large margins. Although "Made in China" products have improved in recent years, most of the HID manufacturers in China are poorly managed, uses cheap labour (more risk of defects), uses cheaper raw materials (risk of defects), and fit and finish is poor compared to other Korean / Japanese / German brands. There's a reason why many of these kits (mostly sold on EBAY) are sold for around $200 or $250. It's because it costs that much less to build, many times, cutting corners in areas that shouldn't be cut.


2. OEM / Philips: Direct OEM replacements cost around $600 per one side (over $1000 for both sets). Therefore, many people go to the "next bext thing" = Philips. However, what most people dont know is that Philips do not make variety of sizes. Philip's buyers (like Audi do not use all variations of sizes). This is why many resellers "rebase" the Philips bulbs to make it fit into sizes that are not originally made from Philips factory. There is a risk of product defect because of this modification. This is also another reason that many Philips kit's warranty is only valid from the reseller, and not from Philips head office.

As a comparision, Kaixen manufacturers ALL sizes and colours directly from their manufacturing facility in South Korea. There is no rebasing or modification done outside of the factory, and all warranty is offered directly from Kaixen.



What's unique about Kaixen?



Traditional H4 bulbs only have the "bulb" component with H4 base.
However, Kaixen H4 systems are built with a "built-in-cut-off cover" system.
Because of this system, users do not have to worry about the excessive "glare" that is caused by using traditional HID Kits.
NOTE: The built in cover system is only available for H4 bulbs only.


Here is a sample on a BMW 8 series:



Lastly, here are some pictures of other cars with Kaixen HID Kits:





Colours available:
4300K (OEM), 5000K (Crystal Natural), 6000K (Crystal White), 6500K (Crystal Purple), 8500K (Crystal Blue).

Less Kelvins (K) has better Lumens (Brightness).
More Kelvins (K) has more Colours.







And finally, the price:

Group buy price of 10 members:

LOW BEAM (any size / any color):
$329.95 USD plus $19.95 USD shipping to anywhere in Canada and lower 48 States.

HIGH / LOW BEAM DUAL ACTION BIXENON H4 (Any color):

To secure your placement in the GB, you must send $50 USD to tluong_714@hotmail.com via PayPal. When the GB is completed, you must send in the remainder.
