Hell Yea !! I will take a single 6000K H7 kit :D :D :D

I guess you all ready know that huh ??

I can't guarantee but I'd sure like one. Call me 75% in. Just one really, for the Hi-beam. I've got a low-beam modulator I don't wanna give up.

I'm in, I can't see in the dark..

Mr. Peeps
Buy the HId and put the Modulator on the high beam, this way you can flip it on when you need it, PLUS once you bridge the sunlight sensor, You can pop it on at night to " alert drivers of your near approach"

I am thinking of the Mod for my Hi-beam, already got the HID low..

I would participate in a group buy, BUT there is one concern I have.

From the website :
in October 1999, McCulloch's North American operation was purchased by Jenn Feng Industrial Co., Ltd, a Taiwan based manufacturer. A new headquarters/distribution facility, located in Tucson, was also acquired and the company moved in November 1999.

Jenn Feng Industrial Co., Ltd., founded in 1975, started doing business as an auto lighting manufacturer and expanded into the power tool and outdoor lighting categories in the mid 1980s.
***************
McCulloch used to make two stroke engines, then chainsaws later on. Those produts were pretty good at the time. I've never before heard of Jenn Feng, and don't know if they have a well designed part. Do any autos use this brand?

I know that there are other HID vendors supplying both Denso and Phillips, both of which have good reputations as aotomotive suppliers.

In particular I woiuld be inclined to trust Denso over any Taiwanese company.

My .02, Mike

Do you have an expected price range based on the number of participants? It would be
nice to know what dollar figure we're talking before signing up. Thanks.

Regular Price is 147.00 per single set-up. That is what I paid today.

That is a pretty good price so I bet the group discount will not be a very big one for 4-6 more. But who knows !

Interested. Looking for the discounted price as well.

also interested... if he can give you a price breakdown of different levels for the different number of people ordering, that'd be great...

Mike

+5 8)

yep, me too

I might be for it as well. I have one HID, in the low beam, and wouldn't mind another if I can afford it.....





......

+another

+another,
Also is this a plug and go setup or will we have to modify the wiring and headlamp socket. Do you have any install instructions or photos?

Thank for putting this together

This is the kit that John and I went halves on.

It is totally plug-n-play.

Rich

How much for one and two - so a high a low beam.

Can you ship them to me out here in Thailand.

or the UK when it the buy going ahead

I will be back in UK for the first two weeks of October.

They EBAY buy of the bulbs

Can I use both bulbs for my high and low beam?

How do I know what bulb I want?

can I use a 12,000 or only 6,000?

What do you want??? Bling or more light??? The higher the Kelvin temperature the less light ( and more bluish to purplish) the light. If you're after "more" light then look for a bulb that produces between 4000°K and 6000°K. Anything greater than 5000°K shifts from white to blue. Some don't like to replace their hi beam as they "lose" the ability to flash their hi. I have found that the HID lo bam has reduced the need and that initial flash (from the ignitor) when I hit the hi beam suffuices...

YMMV

I would be a player for one if the HID capsule rating was right.... but 6000K is going to give you a bit too much purple.

If one wants HID so you can actually see shit (vice the bling factor), the very best rating for the human eye is 4300K. That's what many of use in the Iron Butt community use. It is pure white.... as white as you can imagine. I have one of these 4300K HID lamps in my low beam now.... so adding a purple-ish 6000K in the high beam housing would make it look squidly-dumb (not to mention the cop-magnet effect).

Any chance we can score 4300K capsules on this GB? Or at the most, 5000K capsules?

Capsules available are 5k,6k,8k,10k,12k.



Rich

+12.5

Ok, so there are 8 interested in a single bulb correct?



Rich

Rich, I am very interested in the single bulb also. Dan.

That makes 9 single bulbs.

I'll send an email to see what price can be offered.


Rich

... let's make it ten...

I'd go with Warchild's advice... 5000K (single) low beam application.

I'd jumped in earlier, but I've been somewhat busy with H. Katrina's legacy.

I'm also interested - now that I've seen how amazingly bright 2equis's bike is! Let me know when its crunchtime...

Awesome! If the 5000K rating is available, I am DEFINITELY a player for one as well.

Also interested in a 5000K

interested in a 5k.

Depending on price, I might be as well.

Ken

Depending on price (looking good so far) I'm in for a 5K. I hope I don't tip over with too much electronic do-dads.

I'll have to rewire my wigwags, just got a headlight alternating module to play with.

Interested in a 5k single kit for the low beam. I need light not bling! :wink:

Mike

Believe it or not I am interested in a 5k for the high beam and I haven't even got the 6K low beam in yet.

Alittle blue for bling on low and a bright blinding ass 5k for high beam sounds good to me

I'd be interested in a 5K hi/low set (might as well jump in with both feet).

-UJ

You should put a link to the PUB for this GB!

I MIGHT be in if the price is VERY good. Any ballpark price????? A WAG??? WAG = wild ass guess :twisted:

I know the original post states the different bulbs for the HID kit, but for this group group buy are we locked into the h7 bulb for the blackbird?

If not, and i can get an H4 at 5k for my other bike, I'm in.

Thanks
David

Different bulb types are available, as are color temps.

Here is the response I received this morning:

Hi,
For that quantity then I can get you $270 shipped for whole kit which
make $135 shipped for half kit. The easiest way will be you collect all
the money first and send me an money order with all their address and I
will ship them out. Let me know

Jerry

Hi, I'm also interested in 1/2 of a kit for my low beam only. Thanks Eric in Mesa, AZ :)

So what are your payment instructions Rich? Paypal the funds to you? I am definatly in on this after seeing this HID upgrade compared to the standard lighting. Dan.

I would suggest mailing a money order/bank check to me, made payable to the seller. (I'll get that info).

With Paypal, if you guys send me money, a small percentage is deducted for the transer.

If you guys have a better idea, let me know.

Here is the seller's email address if anyone wishes to contact him directly with any questions or payment options.

xenonpros@xenonpros.com

Rich

1 bulb kit please. $135 sounds groovy.

Rich, if you can tell me how much Paypal takes out I will include enough to cover that fee, it will be worth it not to have to go to the post office or bank.

I'm interested, but when is the buy going to happen? I'm out of the country on Friday for pretty much the rest of the month, can I get an idea of the timing?

Ooh Purple.... BLING!!! :airhump: Nice.

The 6000k have very little purple, if that's what you're looking for. A very slight blue tint, but no purple. You need to get up in the 8000-10,000 range before they start looking visibly purple, and at that point you're begining to give up most of the lighting advantage of an HID system.

At that price, I'll take a whole kit and install both. :D
