KAIXEN HID System_Group Buy Needed
Hi Guys!
I have Kaixen HID Kits available for GB for AF members. Here goes the basics: In case some of you are not aware of this brand, here are some few key facts: KEY FACTS: 1. These are 100% genuine Made in Korea brand. 2. Kaixen HID kits were first sold using Philips / Matshushita ballasts and bulbs starting in 1999. Since then, Kaixen has recieved its own license as well as hiring several key engineers from Germany to develop its own high quality ballast / bulbs since 2002. 3. Only other company other than Philips to develop the diamond-cut bulbs. 4. Kaixen is ISO2001 registered, E13 certified, KQA quality assurance certified. 5. All Kits are made direct from the factory, and are not "rebased" as most Philips HID kits are made. 6. Fit and finish quality is second to none. 7. Quality comparable if not better than OEM material. 8. Comes with 1-year full replacement warranty (ship back to Toronto, Canada). Competitive comparision: 1. Made in China / Taiwan products: Yes, it's cheap. But not by large margins. Although "Made in China" products have improved in recent years, most of the HID manufacturers in China are poorly managed, uses cheap labour (more risk of defects), uses cheaper raw materials (risk of defects), and fit and finish is poor compared to other Korean / Japanese / German brands. There's a reason why many of these kits (mostly sold on EBAY) are sold for around $200 or $250. It's because it costs that much less to build, many times, cutting corners in areas that shouldn't be cut. 2. OEM / Philips: Direct OEM replacements cost around $600 per one side (over $1000 for both sets). Therefore, many people go to the "next bext thing" = Philips. However, what most people dont know is that Philips do not make variety of sizes. Philip's buyers (like Audi do not use all variations of sizes). This is why many resellers "rebase" the Philips bulbs to make it fit into sizes that are not originally made from Philips factory. There is a risk of product defect because of this modification. This is also another reason that many Philips kit's warranty is only valid from the reseller, and not from Philips head office. As a comparision, Kaixen manufacturers ALL sizes and colours directly from their manufacturing facility in South Korea. There is no rebasing or modification done outside of the factory, and all warranty is offered directly from Kaixen. What's unique about Kaixen? Traditional H4 bulbs only have the "bulb" component with H4 base. However, Kaixen H4 systems are built with a "built-in-cut-off cover" system. Because of this system, users do not have to worry about the excessive "glare" that is caused by using traditional HID Kits. NOTE: The built in cover system is only available for H4 bulbs only. Here is a sample on a BMW 8 series: Lastly, here are some pictures of other cars with Kaixen HID Kits: Colours available: 3500K (Crystal Yellow) **NEW**, 4300K (OEM), 5000K (Crystal Natural), 6000K (Crystal White), 6500K (Crystal Purple), 8500K (Crystal Blue). Less Kelvins (K) has better Lumens (Brightness). More Kelvins (K) has more Colours. And finally, the price: I've been able to get special permission from head office to sell these at: LOW BEAM (any size / any colour): $300 USD plus $19.95 USD shipping to anywhere in Canada and lower 48 States. HIGH / LOW BEAM DUAL ACTION BIXENON H4 (Any colour): $370 USD plus $24.95 USD shipping to anywhere in Canada and lower 48 States. The list: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. The group buy has a time limit of 1 month from today, or when 10 buyers have been filled.
