Kaixen HID kits - Highest Quality South Korea Made Kits!
Hey guys,
I have KAIXEN HID Kits available for EVOLUTIONM members at a great price. Many of you have ordered in the past we welcome your input on this forum.
Here goes the basics:
What is HID?
HID (high intensity discharge) : The light is emitted from an arc discharge between two closely spaced electrodes hermetically sealed inside a small quartz glass tubular envelope capsule. To operate, they require ballasts, which supply proper voltage and control current. The amount of light produced is greater than a standard halogen bulb, while consuming less power, and more closely approximating the color temperature of natural daylight.
3 X brighter than any Halogen bulbs. Typical halogen bulbs will give you anywhere between 500 to 1000 Lumens, while consuming 55 watts or more. HID on the other hand will give you 3200 Lumens (based on 4300K) which is more than 3 times the light output of halogens.
The difference in light output is like day and night.
Whiter light: The color temperature of HID lighting more closely approximates the color temperature of natural daylight than does a halogen system, which appears yellowish in comparison.
You also have the option of getting Pure White (5000K), Crystal white (White with blue in certain angles), Cyrstal purple (6500K), and Crystal blue. (8500K)
Consume less power. Only 35 watts of power is used.
Lasts almost 10 times longer than halogens. HID bulbs will last about 2500 hours. This means, it will last about 3 to 5 years of regular usage.
In case some of you are not aware of the KAIXEN brand, here are a few key facts:
KEY FACTS:
1. These are 100% genuine Made in Soth Korea brand.
2. Kaixen HID kits were first sold using Philips / Matshu****a ballasts and bulbs starting in 1999. Since then, Kaixen has recieved its own license as well as hiring several key engineers from Germany to develop its own high quality ballast / bulbs since 2002.
3. Only company other than Philips to develop the diamond-cut bulbs.
4. Kaixen is ISO2001 registered, E13 certified, KQA quality assurance certified.
5. All Kits are made direct from the factory, and are not "re-based" as most Philips HID kits are made.
6. Fit and finish quality is second to none.
7. Quality comparable to if not better than OEM material.
8. Comes with 1-year full replacement warranty (only shipping back to Dallas, Texas).
Competitive comparision:
1. Made in China / Taiwan products: Yes, it's cheap. But not by large margins. Although "Made in China" products have improved in recent years, most of the HID manufacturers in China are poorly managed, uses cheap labor (more risk of defects), uses cheaper raw materials (risk of defects), and fit and finish is poor compared to other Korean / Japanese / German brands. There's a reason why many of these kits (mostly sold on EBAY) are sold for around $200 or $250. It's because it costs that much less to build, many times, cutting corners in areas that shouldn't be cut.
2. OEM / Philips: Direct OEM replacements cost around $600 per one side (over $1000 for both sets). Therefore, many people go to the "next bext thing" = Philips. However, what most people dont know is that Philips do not make variety of sizes. Philip's buyers (like Audi do not use all variations of sizes). This is why many resellers "rebase" the Philips bulbs to make it fit into sizes that are not originally made from Philips factory. There is a risk of product defect because of this modification. This is also another reason that many Philips kit's warranty is only valid from the reseller, and not from Philips head office.
As a comparision, Kaixen manufactures all sizes and colors directly from their manufacturing facility in South Korea. There is no rebasing or modification done outside of the factory, and all warranties are offered directly from Kaixen.

autodoodad.com you spurred my interest...I'm currently looking at the Denso 4300K kit... since they are obviously made differently what would be the compatible kelvin kit from Kaixen? 5000K or 6000K? How is the cutoff? Is the denso kit also rebased cause I haven't heard any bad reviews on them...
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks I just can't decide without a picture. Honestly I haven't seen enough OEM HID Evos to tell whether I like the OEM look. The comparison above is great but if you can add in the 5000K then I can see the difference of crystal natural (5000K) vs crystal white (6000K).
Sorry for being a pain in the *** I just don't want to sacrifice brightness for too much of a blue hue and on the same hand don't want something that's brighter but still has the slight yellowish hue of halogens. I'm picky I know!
