matey_peeps Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlasticxxHead Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 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.. ps ..

mikesail Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John01XX Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsquirrel Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MileHi Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 They EBAY buy of the bulbsCan 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warchild Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StPeteXX Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Capsules available are 5k,6k,8k,10k,12k. Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
