HID xenon hi/low and Fogs!

Hello all,
i might help my buddy sell these kits.
i'm checking here to see about interest...

Bando Brand HID kits h13
6000k, 8000k, 10000k
full 1 year warranty.

its HI/LOW because the low beam is xenon and the high is regular halogen which i think is a pretty good set up as compared to a single xenon bulb moving up and down to get both.

approx. $185 for the KIT!! full 1 yr warranty

Fogs are H10 @ $165

i just bought both sets and will be installing next week....

thanks all!

What do they look like? How about some close-ups so people can determine quality? Also, how about some before and after pictures of what you see from the driver's seat?

High quality kits are Bi-Xenon using twin tubes and dual ballasts for Hi/Lo beam. The bulbs do not move. But the do cost a little more.

Now if someone would just come out with proper HIDs for the GT500 fogs....(still would need a new lens housing though)

I considered the quad ballast setup(from stangmods) but the installation gets really clumsy with all of that packed in the corners. The solenoid tilt ones I have have worked flawlessly.

Good Bi-Xenon kits can be found for far less than $350. I got mine from a local vendor here in Houston for $230. Since when are we looking for the cheapest source of light? If so, stick with the factory bulbs.

Guess I felt that tru xenon hi and lo beams was better than a combo halogen/xenon or a solenoid operated mechanical device moving the capsule. Perhaps others think differently. I wanted what I perceived as the BEST solution for my car. $230 was the best deal I could find for that solution.

Different strokes for different folks. Do what you like, its your car.
