Hello All,

Just Launched! DOT compliant & Steet legal HID designed headlights for the Accord. The Kit includes two headlamp units that easily replace your existing OEM headlamps. These headlights use your existing vehicle wiring connections. In addition, this product will use projector technology as opposed to reflector technology in the majority of applications. This allows for a tigher beam pattern and sharper cut-off. The same projector module is tooled into multiple applications and is tested for SAE and DOT compliancy before and after final tooling. The HID components used in this system are made by Philips. This can be seen here:

nice but too much money. i can do the same thing with the same tyc headlights for well under 500.

 

Wait, aren't those just TYC headlights? Are you trying to sell TYC headlights as your own or are you a distributor selling a HID headlight PACKAGE?

 

tyc headlights are no more than 200$ plus hid kit which is no more than 300$ = <500$.

 

Meh...no 90-93 applications, and of course, $1000 for headlights is hard to swallow...while I admire the effort it's just too much...I could make a reflector based "DOT compliant" kit for our cars for about $350...

 

you are paying for the DOT approval. its like, an AEM intake costs $200, and has a CARB sticker...while an Ebay intake costs $35, but with no CARB sticker. in reality you are mainly paying for the legality. in addition, you are paying for not having to fabricate or retrofit anything.....just my $.02

 

TYC's are already DOT compliant, you don't need this kit to get that approval.

That combination will also give you shitty light output. The projectors in TYC headlights were not designed for HID bulbs.

What that also means is that by adding HID bulbs to the TYC headlights, it is no longer DOT compliant.

Actually, there have been ppl that have had really good results with TYC's and headlights, yes, they are not designed for HID's but they are far superior to halogen and also HID's in reflectors. On you point of HID's in TYC not being DOT compliant, I want to add that neither are retrofits.

 

I wasn't saying that retrofits were DOT compliant.

Personally, I don't like the look of TYC headlights, with or without HIDs. I have seen the light output of TYCs with HIDs. Although better than other aftermarket headlights w/ HIDs, I still believe the output from my HIDs in my stock housings is better. This is from what I've seen with my own eyes, and not from hearsay on the internet. (No offense.)

XenonDepot's HID kits (the ones that are rebased to fit your stock housings) are more expensive than many other kits out there. I should know, I have one. I've had their kit for 2.5 years now w/ absolutely no problems, which to me, makes it worth the higher price.

In the end, I will still be going with a retrofit from http://www.customlightz.com, because although the kit in question here is DOT compliant, I still think it looks like ***. At least the 6th gen does...

 

$1000...ok.

What projectors are being used, and what ballast and bulbs are coming with this kit?


Thanks

 

1000 bucks, for dot apporved, hmmm i think i will stick with my retrofit that was done by customlightz, with s2k projectors with the color mod, which cost a hella of a lost less, and not to mention i am brighter, wider, and more colorful then a stock s2k

 

I apologize for my enthusthiatic past customer.

I want to keep this as clean as possible, and this topic is all about Xenondepot, and their products.

But for the consumers I think it's important that you clarify what you are selling, because a projector is not just a projector and neither is a bulb and ballast for that matter. I think it's important to at least inform the customers what they are buying so they can make an educated decision.


I hope there are no hard feelings.

 

$1k is a lot of cash for something that you can get done for less than $600..........

 

Jesus, for a grand there had better be an option that lets me slice the car infront of me in half with that headlight...

 

If you guys could develop a DOT compliant REFLECTOR-BASED HID kit, perhaps in the style of the JDM one-pieces, I think you'd get much better results, as I'm sure such a kit could go for less than $500 altogether.

 

What's so special? TYC housings and your HID kit.
Have these been recertified by DOT, or are you relying on TYC's housing certification?

I think this is a great deal for those who have just won the lotto and want to go with the law.

 

Yes, of course. Unless you haven't completely lost your mind by buying the two major components separately, mixing liberally and congratulating yourself for saving close to $300.00.
You've still got to mount the ballasts, the wiring etc; so where's the "Big Convenience"
Even an oaf like myself can install a lamp!

<u>if that is the case</u>, installing an HID kit into them would then invalidate the DOT compliance.

IF that is the case, you could claim the same thing by retroing your stock headlights since they are already DOT approved.

I'd like to hear more about this offering and whether or not xenondepot has acutally gotten DOT approval WITH the HIDs in these headlights.

 

Considering the DOT sued many aftermarket HID companies and forced them to take back their products I highly doubt this is DOT...

 

Just Launched? Well, I guess they Just Sank (and never made it away from the dock either).

Show me a viable new product and I'll beat a path to their doors.
Rehash something I can do for $300. less and I won't give them a second look.

WOW!

This has to be one of the biggest rip ever.

TYC had version 2 of these headlamps in the works but it was soon cancelled. Version 2 was supposedly designed to work in conjunction with a HID kit.

Since that was scrapped, Im sure this is just a packaging deal put to gether to rip people off.

Ive started seeing the deals on eBay with Civic projectors now too.

 

You will notice the Toronto address an Xenondepot's info. If you dug far enough you'd probably find that most HID suppliers are off-shore (non-US) sites selling into the US. Sinse it's legal to sell aftermarket HID upgrades in (say) Canada, they can sell anywhere - and yet in the US, it's illegal (still, I believe) to install them.

I worked (for a short period) with a company that was importing replacement bits for British Collectible Cars (old Jaguars etc), and they ran afoul of DOT when they were caught importing Euro versions of headlamps for the then XJ12. Thats' why you will find most of these HID vendor Esites off-shore
