Default Autolamps-online.com

Hi Guys,
I'm looking to buy Xenon HID Headlamp conversion kit from Autolamps-online.com, does anyone know where they're located? I email them and got the reply back with their phone # +44 1244 881961 this number definitly not in the states. I did read Lex400sc's tutorial and he recommand it.

I currently have Silverstar 9005 converted and it look ok but it's not the real thing. I really like to OEM retrofit the HID but with my knowledge(i'm learning new stuff everyday from CL) and there's no reliable performance shop around Portland, OR area.

skpark....Autolamps-online.com, the company is located in England. There was a group-buy set-up quite awhile back. They have a nice kit that install fairly easy. The kit comes with directions and they ship fast....at least that was my experience with them. Hope this helps.

Should I go with 4100K or 6000K Philips Xenon HID Headlamp conversion kit ?
Prices are 4100K = $499, 6000K= $579 @ Autolamps-online.com and free shipping.

Also, I've checked groupbuycenter.com and they do have 6000K Philips Xenon HID Headlamp conversion kit for $445 shipped.

Thanks...

yes, the guy from dicount cycle (jason) was the guy who sold me my kits (i bought two from him before). good price i have 6000k and it's great. 4100k is the stock color and just like all the other hid you see out there. 6000k gives you a bit more blue hue, make it somewhat like audi and bimmer

Jason's (discountcycle) pre-order groupbuy ended in late February, but I hear he is still taking orders.

FYI: there was some manufacturer delay in shipping to Jason ... so my order will be coming in mid-March.

Yes ppl, there are 2 other groupbuys selling Philips 6000K HID kits.....not sure if those are 9006 kits... Plus... are they truly Philips bulbs and ballasts?? I thought one of them used Oscram ballasts.

Don't throw away $500.

I buy ONLY from referred vendors (Steve Ganz, Jason, etc...). Don't take any chances. Most CL members knows which vendor is legit. Just ask.

Just my 2 cents.

yes, i really took my chance when i bought my 6000k hid kit from jason, but hey after my purchase it was a blast. so i contacted him again and bought a kit for my friend driving a bimmer, and it works excellent too. then i started to refer eveyrone in couple of forums i go to him, and he emailed me couple months later asking me to stop coz' he's sooo back order.. haha....

he's switching to a much bigger distributor last time he told me so that's why the delay i guess. i can vouch, if i am getting another hid kit, i will try him

Please tell me how to contact Jason!
I've tried to search for discount cycle in groupbuycenter.com but no luck.
And could you tell me how much did you pay for your 6000K kit?
I did found different vendor (Hyperev) is selling Phillips HID 6000k KIT w/ OSRAM bulbs! $445 SHIPPED!!
But I really do want to contact Jason first since he is the referred vendor.

Thanks...

well you can try emailing him directly at discountcycle@ureach.com that's how i found him the first time. i got my kit for 460 shipped back then but now he has a different distributor so it's cheaper

somehow his listing on groupbuycenter.com is out already, but try emailing him

personally i prefer philips bulbs over osram. but osram is still vey good

Jason's price has NOT changed much. Pre-order was $452 shipped.

For those searching on Groupbuy.com..... type in "HID" then hit the search button.....then search again (do NOT hit the "BACK" button), but this time check the little box for Archive. Jason's groupbuy should be listed now.
