HIDs on the car
I finally got around to taking some pics of my HID kit i got form Tuan. http://www.tlelectronics.com/ All I have to say is these lights KICK butt!! If your looking to upgrade your lights, you want these. Trust me. Dont go and get the imitation HID lights from AutoZone. I’ve had them on my camaro and they don’t come close to intensity of these lights. These lights are bright! The pics don’t show all the lighting but they give you a good idea on what they look like. You really need to see them in person.

Re: HIDs on the car
Albert: Thanks sharing the pictures. I still need to get with you to do side by side comparison between your current setup and the Euro housing /W the H4 kit. Better yet, we'll get Alex involved also. That way, we will have the high-wattage halogen, 9006 HID /w stock housing and H4 HID /w Euro housing. :D :thumbs: :cheers:
Wicked,
Which HID kit is this? There are several on Tuan's website...

Very Nice. Did you get the "9007-Hi/Low" kit? If so, is it a single bulb on each side or separate high and low beam bulbs?
The light housing has a built-in patented solenoid. When you flip back-and-forth between low and high beam, this solenoid moves the entire capsule forward/backward into the correct optical axis for the low or high. Pretty cool, huh? :D
I have sold out all of my 9006 HID 4500K kits already. CATZ is also out of them, and all the distributor I talked to are also out on these 9006 HID 4500K kits. CATZ is shipping me their last HID shipment on the H4 single-beam and H4 dual-beam.

Tuan,
did you get to try the euro housings w/ the Catz bixenons yet? I'm still anxiously awaiting the results... Also, have you perfected the kit to trick the up/down motors yet?
Let me know.. these lights suck bad and I need to upgrade...
Thanks,
Andi

Andi,
Are you going to be in Houston this weekend? You can check them out in person instead. :D
Just FYI, that is NOT the selling price. It is the starting bid price for the auction with 8 days remaining. Additionally, if you didn't notice the S/H via Ebay auction is $19.99 where as all orders purchased directly via our webstore is a flat rate of $7.99 :)

eBay?

Re: HIDs on the car (wicked 98z)
Can't really tell if they look better from the pics, could you possibly have a naked girl dressed as a vampire pose in front of the car with the low beams on, then we could really tell the difference.
Thanks
