Anyone actually running these? I'm trying to figure out how good the projectors are designed on this kit. They're about half the cost of some of the others I know people here on this forum are running and I'm trying to find out if their kit is really that crappy or if the expensive vendors (like THELAPD and others) are just charging too much?

I dont know if anyone is running them but I can tell you that $700 is a good price for quality merchandise. Once you get past all the markups and middlemen, you shoudl be able to get most Xenon upgrade kits for under $500. Since these are not from a manufacturer like PIAA or Hella, they are probably just not marked up as high. I would say for $700 you would be getting something that would not let you down. The question is whether or not they are HID loq AND high beam or just low. Do you know ??

Dear JRPM,

I know you are asking for those who have tried these to reply. I have not, but I think this may help anyway. I own the Delta Tech Industries HID’s. The reason that I went with these is that, at the time, they were the only one’s available that offered true HID light on both Hi an LO beams. (This may or may not still be the case, I have not done current research.) They accomplish this by employing an actuator controlled moving shield. The shield variably blocks or reveals light emitted from the bulb to the reflector corresponding to the Hi beam portion of light.

I would contact the manufacturer and ask how they accomplish the Hi/Lo beam pattern differentiation. Some manufacturers use comparatively dim quartz bulbs for their Hi beams. If the ones you are considering are true HID on both Hi and Lo, then you are left with a choice between standard or projector HID’s. The differences are these:

Projector type beams generally give a harder (cleaner) cut-off. I like this because I do a lot of night driving on dark mountain roads. This pattern helps to keep you from over-driving your headlights.

Non-projector type beams are nice because rather than having a single hot spot in the center of the lens (like the BMW’s, for example) they emit light from the entire reflector/lens assembly. I prefer the look of this on a vehicle the size of the H2.

I hope this helps.

Looks like they are $1400 for a set of them, as they mentioned in the ad, 2 kits are shown.
Unless you have a cyclops H2, you're probably going to need 2 kits.
I'm not sure if I'd pay $1400 for something that's going to eventually going to get bashed out by a rock.
I'd invest in a quality set of aux. lights prior to this investment.
But that just me.

Those look exactly like the ones I put in my rig.
GREAT LIGHTS!!!! I paid $800 from my dealer(I was too lazy to shop around) and I put them in myself. I also ditched the (homoghey) chrome and had the bezels powder-coated black.

Looks nice.

BTW, DRTYFN,

When can I get a bumper from you?

That's the old prototype. This is the new one.Link
PM me. I'm just waiting for the synthetic rope to show up.

[JohnnyRPM]

I'm pretty sure it's $700 for the pair. They used to be $300 and change for a kit and I think at some point they changed it because too many people were confused as to why they were priced individually. The picture caption just hasn't been updated from when two kits were necessary.

I also beleive these also use the solenoid actuated sheild to acheive the hi/lo function as most other bi-xenons do.

Looks like DRTY has the same ones so it's good to see at least someone here has them and has been happy with their performance.

Tower, the Deltas were another set I was looking at. Still trying to weigh the projectors versus the reflectors. I know projectors have some inherrent advantages but perhaps a set of well designed reflectors like the deltas might even out perform a cheap thrown together projector setup. In the HIS upgrade industry there are lots of crap kits out there and I'm just trying to assess whether these are just junk shoehorned into a 6024 light bucket or if they're actually a well designed kit with quality components that will give me better light output and not just a cool whitish blue glow from my headlamps.

Thanks gang...-J

Crap dude....just when I thought I was sold on the projectors....those XE-7Rs are nice too. And a stock look to the headlights....I'll have to Email them on when they anticipate releasing the product.

Thanks Paragon!!

[KenP]

DRTY, did you have to modify the light buckets?
Were they plug-and-play?
