you shouldnt sell "Hid Kits" the road has enough lifted trucks with the wrong projectors shooting light everywhere. retrofit is the only way to go.

 

and you shouldn't be such a "douche" cause there's way too many in this world.

 

This X11tybillion

 

Xtreme HID sells cheap ebay kits and marks em up way more than needed. however he's also got to pay for the cost of the shop and labor so i guess it all adds up.

 

Think very carful on this...do you have PROOF of this, or are you just throwing around acusations without evidence? If you don't have hard PROOF, you are setting yourself up for a lible lawsuit, think on that.

*edit* in fact, I have done screen shots to forward to someone if Tony does decide to take you down for libel.

 

Hey Tony,

I think that was the confusion. I didn't know this wasn't a retrofit kit. The kit I was looking at for a retrofit was about $35-400.

 

Im sorry that you think doing things the proper way is "douche"-like.

 

That's okay, no need to apologize. We're all here to have a good time, learn about cars and shoot the ****, right? And "proper way" for what? Is there a rulebook on how or why a person should customize there ride? If you go by DMV rules, we're all doing something illegal....I think.

I barely drive the car Tony worked on - maybe once a month. I haven't driven the car at night more than a few times but it needed a quick fix and Tony did a great job and the value, for my purpose, was perfect. If I felt like waiting a few weeks and spending a ****load of cash, then I would've bought something from Japan and had it shipped but then it would serve the same purpose. it's not a show car, I track it (not as much as I would like to) and it is sometimes driven.

So - Tony did great job and has good stuff. Xtreme - didn't get to experience them but I'm sure they provide the right service and product for their customers.

end of story. let's let this thread die and move on.

 

The kit that was given to me by some shop was the same Xentec HID kit I always see on Ebay, and I'm not ******* em. The fact that they have lifetime warranty and the fact that John will take care of them 100% is worth the cost in the end. It's just that If you're gonna buy a kit like that, might as well pay them to do a proper retro.

My buddy had work done by John a long while back, and he's known him for quite some time. They guys there are great and yeah they're pricey but it's also due to business and having to pay for everything and the included cost on warranty. I can't say I 100% know that they do but I can say from what I was shown and told what was given from them to my knowledge they do. However now that I think of it, that shop is usually full of **** so who knows.



Regardless, Johns a great guy that will take care of you, he's usually at the shop, and he has to cover some of his fees as well. So regardless of whatever kit he's selling the reasoning behind the price is also for the lifetime warranty and installation and everything else.

I can't speak for Tony as I've never dealt with him but I can speak of what I know from Xtreme. Can't say I've had any negative experiences just speaking my 2 cents.

 

So your car is 100% stock OEM from bumper to bumper right?


your a douche, face it.

 

no, but nothing on it affects other drivers on the road.

 

Sounds like you had a good experience. I might have to check this shop out.

 

You do realize retrofits can be done incorrectly. People can use bad projectors, and they can be aimed incorrectly. People can also buy different colored bulbs like 10K. Bottom line, you can't stop them, and it isn't your responsibility to either.



I have an 06 wrx wagon. I contacted lightwerkz, and they ADVISED me not to do a retrofit. They told me that the halogen projector within the hawkeye headlights are sufficient to do a HID kit into. I bought their clear lenses, and bought an aftermarket HID kit from my friend. It is not a brand name, but it works great and I got 6K bulbs.

It might not be done "right". But retros are not cost efficient for the end product I wanted. With the significantly cheaper products that I got, I have a solid cutoff, and my output is much better than stock bulbs were.

I did the research, and asked lightwerkz their opinion. I took their advice, and did spend 2-3 occasions dialing in my headlight leveling, making sure they do not ever hit the rear or side view mirrors of the car in front of me.

In my opinion, it's not whether or not someone mods their car, but rather whether or not they do their research to do it within an acceptable way. I think even though I didn't perform a retro, I did it acceptably. You should not assume that everyone does not put in the time to do proper research. You also should not assume that everyone is inconsiderate of other drivers.

 

Hell you all ***** about HID lights, get in front of the jeep wrangler I just did a LED headlight conversion on LOL, blind you from a block off...and thats with the lights aimed perfectly!

I <3 LED

 

*****es about bikes breaking the law and proudly states he has an illegal light conversion?
