Seriously I regret buying this kit. Mine doesn't light up either and I only get. Yes your parts do work I'll send you the directions to make them work. Yet he doesn't send anything. Now there is a Prolumen kit GD on now!!!

"My honor is to service all my costumer in the best way but sometimes they need to understand that we dont have just one forum or one customer, also other things, right now we are making the booth for automekanica in Mexico so you can see the hard work, my assistance is trying to help me with the forums and sometimes we dont check all the post every day."
This guy is something else. If I had read this before......

i bought my lights from him last year and all through out his GD thread he replied to all of my questions. The kit came on time and couldnt be happier with it. I think ever since then he has gotten ALOT of customers, more than he could handle i think. Ive seen him on mazda, honda, and even other nissan forums.
Also i would assume that many of his customers have been deadbeats. Like what happened to "Redline". It seems like its one guy on all these forums.(anyone correct me if im wrong). I just think that his HID business did so well that he doesnt have enough man power to keep up of what he was at a year ago. If you any of you guys remember, about a year ago or more, he was getting nothing but positive feedback on this board.

no doubt that he sells quality products, but in any business, there is always a margin of error and irate customers. it's his inability to tend to those few that have issues for the physical products, that delayed a warranty ballast to me for 2.5 months, and also makes him a poor vendor. old customers should come before new customers.
the kit works fine now, however, received a used and quite dirty ballast to replace the faulty one I had sent back. I can be 1 in a 1000 customers that got messed up products, but it should be that 1 to deal with faster, rather than take 53 (yes i counted) new orders while my warranty was being "processed". excuses from "item was lost" "item was shipped' "post office was closed" "let me have my US shipper check again" "it costs me money to call and check for a tracking number" "be patient" (after 2 months of waiting and 120 PMs)
his lifetime warranty sucks a donkey dik, but if you're willing to wait 2-3 months for a used replacement part, go ahead, buy from him.

For example one "vendor" here offer some kits for free to our actual costumers just to post bad comments in our threads, also they just tried everything to get down our business and we cant do much about that, just wait and keep offer our kits. Simple as that.
After all this problems due the storms we will start to check the emails and alos the pms, the same sending the pending parts for warranty, i just want to let you know guys my point.

I just got to installing my H1 6k kit I bought from him. Unfortunately one of the bulbs flickers but won't turn on. Tried multiple times, sat there for 20 minutes with the car on trying to turn them on. With all the bad press he's received I'm kind of doubtful about getting a replacement. People received warranty parts all dirty, he makes you pay freight shipping....I'll see how he responds to my PM. I'm expecting a replacement ballast or bulb at his shipping expense, if he asks for me to pay shipping I'm not even going to go for it due to the posts I saw on the other forum about people never getting their shipping refunded when they paid, better off spending $150 on a new kit.

mm weird, i never saw your pm, also i never ask the costumer to pay the shipping. THEY SHOULD paid if the part is fine and doesnt need a replacement, thats why i always said, test the part before ship to me, how? its easy, if the bulb is flickering, you can swap that bulb to the other side, the same with the igniter, and ballast, thats why is important to make the test. Some guys sent me the kit and the problem was that one of the fuse of the car was burned, so of course the kit was fine.
ALso is important just to get the paypal transaction ID to look in our data base of your order, then we start to make the process...so is weird that you post here without giving me the info. You can pm any time.

I just sent you a PM yesterday. I'm not sure how you magically seem to be the only .org member who doesn't receive PMs. Sent another PM right now along with the Paypal ID. Will test the ballast/bulb in a day or two and get back to you to let you know. Thanks for responding quickly, from a lot of people's posts I had a feeling I wouldn't even hear from you for 2 months. I'll be in touch with testing info to let you know whats wrong with the kit.

well if very important to work together man, you are posting bad comments about us and you also need our help cause you dont have the piece, i think both of us can be a little more patience on this on work together right?. I hope you can edit your post and post something good caese we are trying to help you on this.
Well as i told you before part of the policy is have the bulb in our hand to check why it failed and also avoid any future problems with our costumers, is part of the business. As you can know we dont sell just one bulb, we sells pairs which the price is $100-$120 shipped, i talked with my boss and he agree to help you, and give your a %50 discount. So to get one bulb should be $50 shipped to your door, thats the best that i can do, believe me. The factory are very very hard talking about replecement parts.

I have to be more patient and we have to work together? I've been PMing you and haven't received responses at all until I post in this thread. Like I already told you, an electrician took a look at the bulb and determined it was dead. I also tried a good HID bulb on the ballast and it worked. Unfortunately I can't send the dead bulb since they threw it out. I understand you need dead parts to get replacements, thats my fault for allowing it to get thrown out. But the least you can do is respond to your PMs in a timely manner, and you don't fool anyone claiming you mysteriously never received a PM.
To get one bulb is $50 shipped? Thats the best you can do, huh? Thats funny cause another seller on the forum offered to sell me two Chinese bulbs for $45 shipped or two Korean bulbs for $60. And with the amount of posts I've seen in your For Sale thread on dead bulbs, what sort of guarantee do I have that these aren't the same quality you've been selling to our forum members this whole time? And than I would have to deal with you ignoring me again when I need a replacement.
I'll take my business elsewhere, thanks. That's funny how every PM I received from you didn't happen until I would bump this thread up. I saw the post on your situation with your home and how you lost a lot. I certainly wish that on no one and I hope you recover from it, but the day you stop selling merchandise on this and any other forum you're on will be a great day.

Maybe other sellers, has more cheapper parts, its ok for us, you will get what you pay my friend. Sorry about it, the factory told me thats the best price. I will check the pm settings cause we sent you some pms to let you know all the info, sorry if you didnt see it.

I think it's fairly obvious to everyone on this board what it's come to with this seller. It's just too bad for all the other forums he's hopping on that we're unaware of and all the people that are going to have to deal with him.

if i just needed the igniter dry, why are you telling me now? i sent you the part over two months ago!!
