Really guys, that many people wanting the 8000K setups? They offer less light output & the colour is annoying to other drivers. Real HID system use ~4300K, I wouldn't go with anything over 6000K, unless you like the rice look. I run 5000K, the light output is amazing & the colour output is perfect as it more closly resembles a real HID output, not someone trying to make it look like their car has real HID's by just using a colourful bulb.

Ok, so, on Monday, June 8th 2009, I will PM all parties involved their totals.
Shipping from me to the GTA (L5E 2M7 which is pretty much in the middle) will be $15 per package via Xpresspost 2nd day.
So your PM'd total will be broken down like this:
1- Total for the packages 2- Total for the shipping of the packages 3- 3% PayPal fee for the above 4- Total for shipping to you from me
All will be in Canadian Dollars at the bank exchange rate as of June 8th 2009.
Also, just tossing this out there, if someone wishes to save some shipping for everyone in the GTA, I am willing to meet in Kingston for $40 to cover my gas. It will then be their responsability to distribute the kits.

Louis, another option is for you to hold on to the packages until the Invasion date. By the time we place the orders, and the orders get here from Japan, it might be a 1 - 1.5 week wait before the Invasion. That way people can save on the shipping and we can all install our HIDs at Cayuga when we get there.
That way it will save some bucks. It's what I will be doing preferably over the shipping!
Some people are probably slightly more impatient. ahaha.

I am in for that, I think my car takes two kits??? My hi's are one bulb and my low's are another bulb.
-Manuel Manuel, most guys with a seperate bulb for low & high normally just get the low kits. The lows alone will be much brighter then your stocker, I know most (myself included) barely ever bother to use my high beams anymore, as their not needed. Another concern is if your lows goes out when your highs turn on, HID's have a delay before they ignite & then take about 20-30 seconds to get up to proper colour temp. Defently not a good idea as thier may be times when you see no light output.

They last for 3000 - 4000 hours if usage apparently. The website just says >3000.

I also know when installing, don't put your fingers on the bulb at all. They are hotter than regular halogens and the oil from your fingers can ruin the bulb easier on a hid bulb.
