Okay so I bought a Xentec HID kit from ebay, installed a wiring harness so I can get enough juice to the ballast so they don't fail. Well it worked pretty good for a week and a half then one of them always flicker and go out
I contacted the seller and he told me to send them back. Plus the ad said theres a "2 YEAR WARRANTY" on the kit. I sent them back, waited about 3 weeks it still didn't come, I tried contacting the seller at least 20+ times even tried calling him. He doesn't respond to me at all anymore after I told him I sent the kit back.

I tried contacting him for about 2 weeks now, and I'm thinking its impossible for me to do anything about it. so Im moving on, Im done with xentec, anyone got any decent brand HID kit that will last me at least 6 months? im looking to spend 60-80.

thanks alot.

 

file a PayPal claim...
do a charge back on your credit card etc etc

 

my Xentec kit was defective out of the box, I had it professionally installed so I was BEAT for the money i spent on the install. This was this past monday. I'm REALLY mad. What seller did you use? I'm in the same bind as you are. I had to file a paypal claim to get anywhere. He said he'd send me another kit but im not sure if I even wanna install this POS replacement IF it ever arrives. I'm with you, I'm OK with spending a little more money for more quality, ANYONE have any suggestions? Bump!!!!

 

did u buy from Xenonwholesale88? I just got an email confirmation that my replacement kit was shipped, but I HAD to go through paypal to fight him, he denied getting my emails

 

uh no i got it from Carpartswholesale88 or something they sound pretty similar?? haha anyways yeah i contacted ebay and they told me his account is active and he is still selling items so he should contact me back...
I think his name is Justin Wu? or Andy? Not sure, but he is a doushebag.
still hasn't answer me, I spent over $65 on a kit that costed 45 and now I have nothing......

 

rock stock bulbs..youre just gonna blind traffic with those things

 

yea justin wu is the guy who sold me mine which were defective POS' --> only way you can get in touch w. this guy is by filing a paypal claim otherwise he wont respond and claims he never got your emails

 

ive had xentec in several cars and didnt have any problems and all are a year strong at least

 

my car club sells HID kits plug and play for 110 shipped. may be cheaper... pm me if u want info and wat nots,

 

My whole family uses xentec we've only had one defected one and even still we bought it at a shop so we just use the warranty and they give us new ones.

 

hey guys i buy hid kit too i re-sell it and xentec kit are from 10-15% defect from stock, so be carefull and buy another kit brand, sometime they flicker because they need more volt if you have a lot of light or other stuff that waste energy from you bat this is going to happen

 

www.ddmtuning.com i sent one back for warranty and they got it fixed no problem..also lifetime warranty

 

Don't buy off ebay ? We use a company that is local to us, so warranties are never an issue. The guy comes in weekly to restock, and take anything back if needed. Contact me if you want more info on the kit.

 

thats what you get for buying off ebay!
if you just think for a sec about why its so cheap im sure youll get the same answer is me. its chinease JUNK!

 

did u pay-pal.if u did..send the item back and open up a dispute on the item..until it it is resolve.they should refund u are send u a new hid.

 

hmm, both accounts ending with 88. dont buy from the company? maybe its just a basement company? any xentec dist. with a number ending with 88 is prolly the guy so just avoid that.



hid's on the roadways are just as annoying as an suv right behind u. theyr blinding and unless u have projectors your wasting money. Go with stock of clear-white bulbs. Its just as nice but not blinding and obnoxious. Nor is it a waste of money.

 

yea look up ddm tuning on google and youtube, bye far the best price for the quality and seen good reviews on tons of sites they have kits for 29.99 and 49.99 i believe =]

 

or you can go with real hid kits, from honda-tech sponsors. . . 114$ for hassle-free lifetime warranty, full hid kits sounds good 2 me, rather than paying 24$ + s/h for every p.o.s cheap hid kit out there, and then losing 10$ for every shipment back.

 

o yea forgot to mention ddm tuning is lifetime warranty too and less than a 80 shipped =] but hey do the research and see

 

drive around with your highbeams on. its the same thing as getting a HID plug and play kit.

 

thats a deal but, refer to quote under this |

that justin woo guy sucks he took forever to send my kit and also took forever to email me back and when i got it, it was in a crappy packaging even the ups guy told that the packaging sucks..the install was ok but after while the right side flickers..so instead of sending it back i threw it away and stayed with stock lol

 

proof that cheap HID kits are a POS. Not to mention HID with stock Civic headlight optics is soooooooooooo bad

Retrofit projectors or nothing IMHO.

and to be 100% honest, honda civics (refering to eg models and some ek), looks terribly ugly with retrofits. The headlight style isn't made to have a giant magnifying bulb plopped into it. Its just not right and makes it look rice. Leave hid's to the pro's and oem-spec cars
