thanks for the great HID kit michelle
although i had to do some adjusting with the polarity on the 9003 kit for the camry, they came out great after some modification. 6000k is nice a bright even with the fogged lenses, imagine if the lense was clear!
i'll take some pictures hopefully tomorrow

Michelle et al,
Installed my kit yesterday & have a few questions.
1) I also installed a pair of new Eagle Eyes headlights with your bulbs installed. These headlights have a pot metal shield or diffusor that sits in front of & somewhat encompasses the bulb. Should I keep it or remove it?
2) Under what circumstances would I benefit from the relay?
thanks, Mark

HI,

Hi michelle,
I recently did the 9003/H4 hi/lo reverse on the polarity of the wires. Installation of the HID's became a breeze. But, a few days after, the right passenger side of the bulb went out for some reason. I tested the bulb on the driver side on the passenger side and it worked, so it can't be the ballast. Is there still a possible replacement even though I bought the kit a while ago and I no longer have my order #?
If a warrantied replacement isn't possible, how much would it be to buy a whole new bulb (assuming it comes with all the wires needed to connect it to the ballast and oem harness as if it came brand new out of the kid)
Thanks,
Ken

HI,
Email me your full name and a copy of this message and i can see if you are still under warranty, otherwise I can get you a discount for a brand new pair of bulbs for 10% off.
Thanks!

Michelle,
I am very impressed with the quality of your product & the customer support that you provide. It is nice to be able not just to be seen but to actually see
at night!! The hardest part of the install for me was squeezing the weather proof connectors thru the rubber O-ring.

Michelle,
ive heard a lot of good things about you as a represenataive through this forum, so its kind of sad to see you go.
i ordered my hid kit and this color temperatues is WAY off from what the website showed and described, idk if i got a wrong bulb or something like that.
I ordered a 6000k which the HIDextra describes as "diamond white- white with a hint of blue." well this thing is completely and totally blue, idk if its that you guys use some cheap bulbs, I got the wrong bulb or if maybe it was even me who mistaken the color (which i doubt, because i did extensive looking at color temperatues to make sure i got the right one), but is there anyway I can do an exchange or even a refund. I would definitely like an exchange at the minimum.
Thank you in advance,
Robert

HI Robert,
If you indeed ordered the 6K and got the 8K, we'll definitely get you the white bulbs, sometimes it could be a defective bulb that was put into the 6K batch. Email me your order # and full name to info@hidextra.com and a picture of the lights and I'll work something out for you. Thanks!

Congratulations to you. Can you please pass it on to Karen, that our clublexus orders carry a 2 year warranty? This way if something does happen within that period we will still be covered as you stated? Otherwise she may think that our kits have the regular 1 year warranty.

Michelle,
I have emailed you several times about your HID kit causing radio interference on my Lexus.
Here is your reply to me:
Respectfully, I would rather avoid wrapping your ballasts in 3 layers of tin foil and having them placed into my brand new Lexus engine bay. I have advised you that I would like to return the kit as it clearly does not work as advertised on my vehicle.
I emailed you on June 10th advising you that I have tried a different ballast on my vehicle and there was no radio interference. Clearly the problem is the ballast in your kit. I am still waiting on your reply.
It is unfortunate that I had to sign up an account on this forum so that hopefully I can receive some sort of reply from your company.

Here is your reply to me:
Sorry for the inconvenience, only less than 1 % of our customers experience this issue and it's by car specific and it
also depends if your area has strong or weak radio signals. You can try 2 options, wrapping the ballasts with 3 layers of tin foil.
Or upgrade to our slim version to see if that helps. Thanks and let me know!
