Just wanted to ask if anyone has bought and used autolismos hid kits?

The price is right at $140 for bi-xenons


Also, would you guys recommend 4300k or 6000k? (specially if you bought from autolismo since different brands at the same output rating may have different colours)

thanks!

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

if u can get the 4300k, since it has the highest output a HID kit can have

otherwise go for the 6000k, each brand varies tho in terms of the color

I bought two bulbs from Thomas, it works as it should. Has 1 year warranty. Turned out my ballast was dying too so I tried contacting him again to see if I can buy ballasts off him too, but he never replied any of my emails after buying his bulbs.

my car has 6000k, but all factory cars come with 4300k.
it is the brightest since its the purest white.

makes me wonder if he would honor his warranty especially because buying off him would mean cash and prob no receipt. was thinking of buying 2 years as well (i was going to get it installed by him too)

interesting, so basically the 4300 would be a nice pure bright white light
do you guys think 6000K would be a bit too blue?

[!Aznboi128]

Get 4300k

I got a buddy that's selling ones with slim ballast and relay for cheap. 100 for standard like h3, h11, 9006. I'll ask him how much for bi-xenon

[asdfpic]

nice, are they new?

yeah, sounds like 4300k is like a win/win since everyone seems happy with them, kinda leaning a bit towards the 6000k though because i want a little blue, 5000k would be great
would 6000k lower light quality a lot?

[unit]

my 6000k are super bright. they're hardly blue but you can tell they arent pure white.
reason i dont like aftermarket 4300k is cause they tend to fade to yellow.

[asdfpic]

interesting, thanks
would you say 6000k are even brighter than 4300k? lets say at a new state, before any fading etc

i guess i wouldn't want it TOO bright, so much attention to cops

also, if i got bi-xenons what would my drl's be like?

[unit]

4300k is the brightest.

[asdfpic]

hah ok thanks, most likely going for the 6000k then

last question =) i hope

whats my daytime running lights going to look like

[jmanhas]

6000k is more white, but less output
4300k is more yellow, but better output

[asdfpic]

foig
are you on 4300k stock lights? did you say you were going to 6000k?

this post is a little confusing,
so he bought bulbs from Autolismo,
found out his ballast was dying,
tried to contact thomas to purchase a ballast,
thomas didnt reply emails

nothing to do with the warranty

[jmanhas]

i am on 6000k
stock 4300k was too yellow for me
the inner rice took over and told me to use 6000k
and i love it

the person who posted after this was wondering, how likely this Thomas character is to honouring the warranty, when he didn't reply to Shenmecar's email.


Also 6000k isn't too blue, do they still make 5000k hids? i'd probably get those.

edit: hidoutlet has $80 hids.

[ilvtofu]

Here are my 6000Ks not too blue

but as you can see the road has a little bit of blue tint on it

6000k

[Fobman]

140 for hid kit and how much for installation r u paying him?

[asdfpic]

140 for kit bixenon, but now im going for this other kit for $110 because my daytime lights would be messed with bixenons
40 install
40 if i want to add another year warranty, so total of two years

nice, i think ill go for the 6000k, but making sure he installs it downwards more

anyone know what would happen if lets say a few years i want to go back to halogens? lots of trouble?

[!Aznboi128]

This is 4100k
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k181/azn_boi_128/DSC_0003-1.jpg

from Acura TSX projectors with Phillips 85122+ bulbs
notice its pure white and the cut-off adds colour. This is the way it should be done.

go OEM, or don't bother. Your either blinding other drivers or throwing light everywhere.

Hid in reflector housing ftl!

[melonvitara]

Hey shenmecar,
Did you send me an email regarding the faulty ballast? When did you send it? What is your email address? I reply all of my emails. Perhaps it went to your junk mail? Tell me your warranty number or email address and I will replace the ballast for you.

The dual bulb that I told you about today is a direct plug and play so if you want to go back to halogen, just unplug them and plug back your stock bulbs.

Autolismo FTW :thumbsup:

Haven't had them(4300k) long enough to speak of longevity,but dealings with Thomas were excellent and I'm more than happy with the output colour.

[Lomac]

Ugg.... unless you plan on putting it into a proper projector housing, I'm going to kick and scream. I fucking hate having to deal with HID's in halogen reflector housings. Anything over 6k is tacky, has poor light output (it's even worse in the rain than you'd expect), and just annoying. But not as annoying as the goddamn glare and random light patterns that everyone else bitches about.

You all should just be glad I'm not a traffic cop... You'd hate me so much. :lol

beautiful retrofit on that, perfect cut-off beam pattern!

No receipt, but he gives you a "warranty card".

[melonvitara]

shenmecar: You still haven't told me your email address or warranty number. I am willing to exchange the ballast for you. I don't want people here to think I don't honor my warranty.

It looks like the ballast wasn't bought from you,but he wanted to get a ballast from you,since he mentions the bulbs as being "from Thomas" and "his bulbs",but never refers to the ballasts in such a way.His concern is that having dealt with him buying the bulbs,he couldn't get in touch to make continued deallings.

Ah ok I guess I misread that. Thanks for the clarification!

[asdfpic]

yeah, people who reffered me to thomas said he was good on customer service and good to deal with

been talking with him past few days for products and shot him a million questions and hes always replied :thumbsup:

I have brought LED strips, HID bulbs and HID kits from Autolismo. I never have any problem and great prices!

[Ikkaku]

I just got some 6000k bulbs from him (well, my friend helped me pick them up) ... his 6000k bulb seems brighter (from what I see) than the ones from my smarteye kit lol
