VVME HID bulbs

[akaEsCo01]

Anyone try these for a bulb replacement? They are really cheap @ $12.99/pair. I have their HID kit for my fogs, and one of my headlights (6000K in single xenon ecodes) went out last night and I am thinking about giving them a try. Suggestions?

my car didnt come with HIDs so i bought the VVME kit.

I've ran them since november or so without any problems. I also have the 6000k and i'm quite pleased with them

edit: expect AT LEAST 2 weeks + for shipping because they are coming from china.

i thought their "factory" was a P.O. box...




note to OP. they send everything as a "gift" to dodge import tax stuff or something like that...seems shady but i havent heard anything bad from the company...

lol...yea, it is when from China.

i've only seen one incident of someone having customer service issues...but everyone else that has tried them seem to have good results. i just wish they carried a 3000k or 3500k.

$12.99 for a pair of HID bulbs? that cant be right or they are not HID...

My HID kit for my fogs shipped in about a week also. $12.99 for the bulbs isn't surprising considering they charge $35 for a whole HID kit. They gouge you on shipping though, I haven't checked yet but it will probably come out to about $40-$50 for the bulbs shipped.

Since I do not have the VVME kit for my headlights, what bulb do I buy? The H7 HID bulb?

[04TurboB6]

yea..cuz they shipped out on the 17th..and on the 21st they were at my door...i was surprised because i knew they were coming from china..cuz i ordered some stuff from another seller in china..it took 3 weeks to get to me..after it went through customs and everything...no lie no lie!

1. Philips / Osram > cheap glass Chinese bulbs
2. They don't sell D1S or D2S, so it's useless for all of us that are doing HIDs the right way.

I had bad experiences with their "warranty" service. You end up buying parts if something breaks by the time you pay the shipping. The quality of the kit is pretty low too. I was disconnecting a bulb from the ballast harness and the stupid thing's retaining clip broke. I was being really careful with it too.

go ahead and pay big money to do it the "right way"...i'll take my perfect looking $50 kit

[mxrz]

What big money, I paid 280$ for Bi-Xenon housings and less for OE ballasts and genuine Philips 4300K HID bulbs. You can do it cheaper even, by only retrofitting HID projectors into the stock halogen housings.

Perfectly looking? I prefer perfectly functioning AND perfectly looking…

mine took 2 days to get to my house..and im in jersey

So I am guessing since they don't sell D2S, then I can't buy bulbs from them right? I have single xenon ecodes and they use D2S bulbs, right?

[mxrz]

You need D1S, only very early 2002 B6s used the older D2S, everything else is D1S.

[akaEsCo01]

I was right, single xenon ecodes use D2S bulbs. D1S bulbs have the igniter attached to the base of the bulb and I definitely remembered mine not being that way.

Sorry, they don't.

Sorry, they don't.

Hey Mr. KnowItAll, what does this say?



Still not convinced??? You know what this is?



That's a D2S bulb housing inside my single xenon ecode headlight. You should be feeling stupid right about......... now.

I did say there were early examples of D2S, but for EVERY new housing, for YEARS, it's D1S exclusively.
