I am running a kit from VVME and spent $60 delivered, I had money left over for more toys! And I have gotten more compliments on these lights than my truck lately.

can you at least answer a few of my questions

What makes Japanese kits better, than Chinese kits ?


sounds like your "flickering canceller" is just a wiring harness , correct ?


im convinced all these kits are the same , you say yours are "top quality" , what makes it that?


if some one on here is going to drop $300 on an hid kit , i think they would like to know the difference ,(besides you saying "top quality"
and "guarantee" in every post) between yours and the $100 kits which the majority of us are running w/o any problems

Take the URL of your image and put it between "[img]" and "[/img]" (without the quotes).

I'm not 100% sure which HID ballast I've got but I will admit that it isn't the best. The ones I got came with the headlights and, when I got them, the right one was inop. I sent it back and the new one works just fine. Shortly after that I noticed the left one making a kind of clicking noise upon start up. The left one is the one that flickers; the right is fine.

I can't speak for his product but I can see how going with a little more expensive product may lead to receiving a bit more quality. Then again, my experience is limited to just one buyer whom I've dealt with, and his product. Either way, $250 seems a little steep to me. But then again, everyone has their price they'd pay.

Just throwin' it out there..

Coming from someone who has worked in the aftermarket business for 9 years now, I really think its a bad business practice to come on here and try to publically trash another company or companies to try and generate sales. If you have a good product, let the product speak for itself. Put your parts out there and let everyone see the difference for themselves. If your parts are truly worth the 250% higher price tag than other proven companies out there, then you should have a lot more to say about the quality and design and technology of your parts rather than to be negative about a proven competitor.

I have had in my personal vehicles kits from McCulloch, Philips, HID Depot, and now Xenonlink. I have installed 1000 dollar kits in Porsche's, Supras, Lexus', etc. And I've also installed the less expensive kits that you claim to be so poorly built and designed.

I have found that the likelyhood of any of these kits having problems is EQUAL. No difference in how long they last. Some just don't last as long, the bulbs go, the ballasts wear out, wiring issues, etc. Sure the warranties matter, but the kits out there are not that much different.

When I put the Xenonlink kits on my truck which you claim to be so terrible and poor, I happen to have a McCulloch kit in my Lexus and took them all out and compared the two. Aside from the ballasts being different sizes and the wires being a slightly lower (thicker) gauge on the McCulloch kit, there was no difference that you could visibly see.

Let me also say that I was just as skeptical as the next guy about buying a kit as inexpensive as this one. However, one phone call with the representative there at Xenonlink changed my mind. I know that if there is an issue, I can talk to him and it will be resolved. He has done that for several that I know of here as well. When you ship out as many kits as they do, there are bound to be issues and small problems here and there. The difference comes when and how they handle those issues and make those customers happy.

Hell he even went as far as to offer free kits to some people to have them test his product out. Are you willing to do the same? He was confident enough in his product to let it speak for itself rather than try and trash a competitior, yet you still want $250 bucks for a kit to let someone do the same. If your kits are truly worth 250% more than what the other kits go for, then let them speak for themselves.

Same as others have said though, I could buy 3 kits for what one of yours cost and after I personally laid out the kits next to each other they certainly don't appear to be worth that much more.

Just my 2 cents and opinion.
