Oreo931 Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Just so you guys know, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. There is a reason why stock HID's cost a lot of money. There is a reason why John's HID's cost more as well. Those are quality kits/units that will last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are quality kits/units that will last.I appreciate the support man!The other problem here is that say you do need to replace a bulb or ballast within the 14 months you will have to send it all the way back to China - about $20-$30 for shipping due to customs etc. Then you may have to pay that again to have the replacement sent back here. All in all you are looking at 4-6 weeks just to get a replacement bulb or ballast. This is the problem with many of the ebay kits.A lot of research and testing has gone into the kits I sell and they are using components my supplier believes to be the most reliable and most up to the job of offering a life time warranty.

Send back the defective part and we will send you a new one.2. Pay a shipping fee of $25 and we will send you a new one immediately and you don't need to send back the defective part.

spottieottie Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Online Store: www.mydepots.comeBay Seller ID: flashplusProduct Price: USD125 including shipping to US or CanadaProduct Location: Beijing, ChinaAvailable Bulbsizes: H1/H3/H4/H4-2 (Hi/Lo)/H7/H8/H9/H10/H11/9004/9005 (HB3)/9006 (HB4)/9007 (HB5)There are also bi-xenon models available in H4, 9004 and 9007.Available Color Temperatures: 4300K/6000K/8000K/10000KIf you have any question, please send emails to sales@mydepots.com. I am willing to answer your questions regarding the hid kits.Chuck said it was ok, so please do not delete my thread. Thanks.Sounds like a pretty good deal! These prices are running on very small margins, and a good deal for anyone. The $25 fee for failed components is convienent because most manufacturers just require you to send back the whole system (if anyone remembers Adrian's kit). How much is shipping on just the bulbs? How about a Volvospeed discount code? That would probably get a lot of people to try them out. :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aequitas_Veritas Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 why in your old auctions you had a 18 month warranty, then it was dropped to 14 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Account_Deleted_T5M Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 why in your old auctions you had a 18 month warranty, then it was dropped to 14 months.Because the bulbs were failing in 16 months like it was a religion and they didn't want to have to cover that :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
