Well the fact is that AUTOLAMPS-ONLINE.com has to modify the plug to accept the 9006 bulb. I bet you did not know that dumbass. In regards to faulty installation I doubt that because if there was no serious flaw in the plug design I don't think Philipâ??s would have changed their design.

---

To be accurate, Philips didn't change their design. Rather, Autolamps modified the Philips ballasts to accept their modified 9006 bases, and now, their custom pigtails.

Now that sounds like an idea. How would one go about doing this, just cut out the stock assembly and glue in a projector lens? Also where would be a good place to find sed lenses....junk yards?

I have projectors, waiting on a set of new headlight assemblies to put them in. The lens in the projector is set in front of the parabolic reflector, so I still need to figure out how to block waste light. Factory HIDs have a chrome shroud in the headlight assembly. Milan, mind if I ask what you're using?

I want to thank you for ruining my goddamn thread with your relentless rants!

Why don't you try to contribute something to the original point of this thread, instead of talking smack about crap you don't even know about? Do you even own an HID kit? I am willing to venture a wild guess that you have not even seen one in person, let alone talk about them...

And another thing: Don't knock my brother Antonio! Both he and I are one of the most informed people on this site when it comes to HIDs, and both of us have had several different kits in our cars. Bet you did not know that either... Autolamps is a failed company whose only interest is making money. Cheap policy breeds garbage products!

Finally, you say this thread needs to get locked? The only thing that needs to get locked in this thread is YOU!!!


I SUGGEST YOU BUY SOME PROZAC!!

To have not seen HID in person in the UK you would have to be a dipshit such as yourself! After market kits have been here for years and most production cars have them(Mondeo Mk3,Focus,Audi,BMW,Vauxhall etc...)
If your read the thread you would notice my original post was to say Autolamps offer good kits.How do i know this?I have TWO of them!
Never had a problem,know plenty of people with them too.To say they are Korean products and label them as Philips would be illegal & i am sure Philips would have something to say about it(cosidering you say you are going to law school on your webpage i would have thought you would know that).For a 23 year old you know alot about everything!(or nothing about anything?)

korean ballast(NOT):



Anyone who knows anything about HID(so you two experts should be fine)would be able to see it's a Philips LVQ-300 Ballast.You would also know the connector you were moaning about is a Philips connector. You've got a lot of learning to do boy.
For such well informed people you know jack [censored] about HID!
Now run back to school and learn something before you try and preach your "knowledge"(and learn to spell as well).This thread has brought much ammusement to everyone here.......bye bye from all at #######.

By the way read this kindly posted earlier : HID Info You may learn something you know-all prick.

You will notice at the bottom the author recommends auto lamps as well....(but i guess he knows nothing like me)

To put this to a end...

Philips bulb modified in Taiwan to copy other systems

Pro - Philips Modified Taiwan Unit



Con - Bulbs modified has no warranty from Phillips

Con - Substandard connectors which are known to defect

That is the Autolamps-Online.com kits.

Old



New

Both kind's of connectors are know to be defective. All I was trying to do was offer my input and experience. IMHO thier kits are garbage. Hell they don't even MAKE thier own kits. Get your head out of your ass and realise you are wrong. Oh by the way my OLD POS Autolamp-Online.com was a L300 too, so what is your point?

This is my last post on this thread. I wish you luck even though that kit you will burn up in a few months. I just love this site, we have a bunch of "know it all's", that don't know [censored]. Louis W, you are correct and I thank you adding for to this discussion. Holla

Kit has been on the car for over 12 Months,no burning,no problems,didn't look like either of your pictures.Pull YOUR head out of your ass little boy!Read the article posted up and learn.... Click HERE Know-All!!
Both pictures you posted are from www.mccullochhid.com NOT autolamps.online.com and look nothing like their kits(You have even copied the text off their site!!).Check out some of the boards in europe(if you know where that is)and you will see many of the VW boys use autolamps kits.(without problems)post up some pictures of this autolamps kit that you have(not ripped off pictures from someones website)i'll be speaking to Nick at autolamps soon to see if he has any comments on your findings.
For everyones information my kit looked just like the one from autolamps-online webpage(check the URL,you will see it's from their site,not somewhere else like bullshit artist above!)

I will gladly post pictures of the kit when I get home. It does not matter WHERE I got the pictures from. That is what YOUR kit looks like. The DESIGN in the PLUGS connecting the BULBS to the BALLAST is the problem. They have been known to FAIL. I still don't understand why you are getting so upset. You act like I am taking food away from your McDonald's Happy Meal or something. Did you think of this... Maybe Autolamps-Online.com in C A L I F O R N I A (Just making sure you know how to spell it. Oh by the way it is on the West Coast of the United States) is different from the one in Europe. They have horrible service and their kits are just BAD. I am not the only one that feels like this.

McCullough changed the design and made a 100% FOOL (That would equal YOU) proof connection. Their kits are designed by them. Not bought from someone else in Taiwan or Korea. Oh yeah they BACK up the work with a 1 year warrenty. When I called Autolamps-online.com they denied I was even a customer. During my research I found out they don't even offer a warrenty. Again I am done with this post.

Mondeo V6:

It seems to me that the only way you can argue is to use insults and profanity. So you know what? Maybe I should give you some of your own medicine?

No, not gonna do that! But don't worry, we all know that the truth does hurt. Seems that you and this Nick guy share some sort of special bond...

It is obvious that you are stubborn, and do not take facts easily. If you like the lights you have, then keep them.

Don't come on here and talk nonesense and spread the word about these faulty lights being worthy. And for the record, the real Philips kits are the best in the world. Don't make it seem that I am talking about them as being the faulty ones.

As far as the whole Law School comment, all I have to say it is quite evident that you know nothing of International Business law, or the laws protecting Generic products...

Finally, for a British person, you totally surprise me. It is obvious that you have no education, and are miles from the courtious and collected British Gentleman... But that's cool, I guess plebs such as yourself have a right to say a few words too...

BTW, got the Prozac yet?

Ok, everyone take a deeep breath and calm down. So far the technical information in this thread has been helpful and it would be a shame to lock it now. "Mondeo V6", Antonio was just sharing his experience with autolamps.com. As a former customer, he has a right to do so, and you as a current customer have the same right, but let's leave the personal attacks out.

Look forward to seeing the pictures by the way,post up the invoice too.....and that's all i have to say about that.

Response from autolamps-online.com :

Firstly I am not sure who this is as he is not a customer and neither the first photograph he has used nor the second are the lamps or ballast made and supplied by Autolamps-Online.com. If they were they would look like the pictures on our website and why on earth would we sell product in a Gourmet Garage box who happen to be traders in HID kits and as such are a competitor.

This gentlemen claims to be knowledgeable on HID so what are his credentials other than showing photos of product he claims which are incorrect. We have sold over 10K kits in them last 3 years and non of our customer have any problems with our product or service. If his kit had failed and was supplied by us we would have inspected it and given him either a replacement or a refund. What his motives are for this tirade I can only guess but offer if he is a customer to contact us and we will solve his issues. However as the product shown is not our or Philips I suspect something different.

He is obviously not as knowledgeable as he claims or he would know the following.

I worked for 12 years for Philips Automotive in over 30 different countries. As International Sales Manager I helped design and introduce product such as the D2 Xenon lamp, The Allweather range and personally won an award for the introduction of the BlueVision product. We are the only HID retrofit supplier specified by Philips Automotive
http://www.eur.lighting.philips.com/automotive/html/input_where_usa_online.html

and we are of course a fully approved Philips Authorised dealer. I recruited most of the Philips Automotive International Management team and still have day to day contacts with the factories worldwide. With this back ground and 20 years automotive Lighting experience because before Philips I worked for Valeo why would we sell
Korean made product and if we did why would Philips approve us.

I am willing to discuss the world of Philips , Xenon HID technology and any problems or errors that we may have made. We are far from perfect and constantly look for way to improve. However when we are the target of vindictive abuse that is fact less and supported by thin air then I believe I have the right to stand up and be counted.

I have advised who I am and what my company stands for and the experience that we have , now who is this guy making all the fake claims as there are many many jump on the band wagon operations that see HID as a quick buck and struggle to compete when the questions are raised on who , why and what.

The fact that you as one of our valuable and repeat customers chooses to fight our side in this way suggests that the great majority of our customers are happy both with what we do and what we have sold.

As you and I know 100% of all our HID kits are supplied with 100% Philips product from Aachen Germany. If you need that with a Philips endorsed stamp from the management of Philips just let me know. Unfortunately the Internet provides disguises for many people to hide behind.
