Philips HID kits for cheap......

**mkgino** · 06-10-2002, 09:41 PM

Ok there is an online store based in toronto that sells Philips HID kits in US Dollars for:

$525 for stage I (4300k)

$599 for stage II (6000k)

And no customs charges either...... the site has nice pics and I bet a group buy would drive the price down further. the webste is www.xenondepot.com so check it out and tell me what you guys think ok?

**Brad** · 06-10-2002, 11:38 PM

Does anyone have these? Please post pics.

**mkgino** · 06-10-2002, 11:42 PM

well there are pics on the website (even of BMW's), but I dont know of anyone that has ordered from here yet. The prices look great and I have been talking to them via e-mail asking questions and he has assured me that the kits are all philips components with a 1 year warranty.....so I see no prob here with them but Im going to arrange next week to see them personally cause I live in toronto.....Im thinking group buy for lower prices.

**mmaigret** · 06-10-2002, 11:56 PM

I placed an order with them last week. I paid $550 for the 6000k kit though-- the price must have just gone down. I'll post again when I received something.

**mkgino** · 06-10-2002, 11:59 PM

From what I saw, was that the price for the 6000k kit was for $479 all together with the 20% discount. Did you pay lots of shipping charges or something? WHen are you gonna get it, can you put up pics??

**mmaigret** · 06-11-2002, 04:18 PM

I contacted Steve at XenonDepot and he assured me that the price I paid ($550) is the current price for 6000k kit for US buyers. This price does include shipping. I have not received the kit yet, but when I do I will post pictures. BTW, the communications I have gotten from Steve at XenonDepot have been both timely and very professional. I will post a full review when I receive/install the kit.

Watch this thread.

**mkgino** · 06-11-2002, 08:14 PM

Yeah u see, I talked to him via e-mail today and he told me that its now $600/kit and $550 for a group buy??????? What is that garbage, On their website it says for the 6000k kit its $599 with 20% off Introductory discount or something?? So Im gonna talk to him now since I live in Toronto canada and its close to my house. Its probably more expensive for US customers cause they probably hide the shipping in the price, u think they would actually pay for u'r shipping?? Yeah right!

**mkgino** · 06-11-2002, 10:22 PM

Ok everyone I made a mistake, the prices already have the 20% discount in them, but for $599 its still a good price. For a group purchase its $550 which is the cheapest that I have seen yet for a philips kit unless someone else knows another place..............

**mmaigret** · 06-11-2002, 11:14 PM

Hi all,

I hunted around for a while and it was the cheapest that I could find as well. I'll be posting pics as soon as I get the kit in the mail and get it installed.

**baller26** · 06-11-2002, 11:46 PM

mmaigret, what kit did you purchase? Are you installing H1's into ellipsoids?

**moonluv810** · 06-12-2002, 01:01 AM

"FREE SHIPPING" and "NO IMPORT DUTIES" listed on the website. Hmmm..... let me know if you guys want to do a GB.

**Bernanke** · 06-12-2002, 01:33 AM

group buy would be awesome. $300-350 would be too target price, but i dont know if thats possible

**mkgino** · 06-12-2002, 08:32 AM

Ok I e-mailed the guy about a GB and he said with one the price would be driven down to $550 which is a great price maybe we can even get it down further since mmaigret got the kit for $550 without a group buy I think......anyway I have not seen any other place believe me for cheaper than $550 for a 6000k Philips Ultinon kit.

**baller26** · 06-12-2002, 10:19 AM

isnt $550 the normal price?

**mkgino** · 06-12-2002, 07:04 PM

see thats what I thought too since mmaigret said above that he/she got it for that much, but on the website it is listed for $599 for the stage II 6000k kit, I made a mistake earlier and thought it was 20% off that but the discount is already in the price.....anyway, Im not too sure how mmaigret got it for only $550 but Im sure that we could get a good price with a group buy.....Im not too sure how to organize a group buy but if anyone here can do it that would be great.

**mmaigret** · 06-12-2002, 08:28 PM

Sorry for the confusion guys. I did get mine through a group buy. It was in the Group Purchase forum about a month or so ago.

Baller, I ordered the 6000k/H1 kit (I have ZKW freeforms).

**mkgino** · 06-13-2002, 01:56 AM

how many guys did you have in the group buy total to get the price that low??

**baller26** · 06-13-2002, 01:57 AM

would that same H1 kit fit in ellipsoids? I thought free-forms took H7's?

**mmaigret** · 06-13-2002, 01:29 PM

Yes, if you have ellipsoids, the H1 kit is what you want. The GB I was in had a bunch of people from a VW forum and a couple from here. I don't know how many total, but I think you generally need at least 5 people to get any decent discount on price.

BTW, I got an e-mail from Steve at XenonDepot and he said I should have my kit middle of next week. I'll let you all know how it goes.

**BEHMER** · 06-13-2002, 07:23 PM

I need to get sponsored so I can get 6000k’s in my highs, lows, fogs and reverse lights

**ultim3** · 06-14-2002, 07:30 AM

I would be in for 2 sets if there was a GP. Let me know if you set one up!

Oh, and behmer, what make are those wheels? They're pretty crazy!

**mkgino** · 06-16-2002, 02:31 AM

Ok lets set up a group buy here. I have never done one before but I hope someone else here has done one before. I can talk to the guy personally cause I live in Toronto and the place isnt too far from my house. But If anyone knows how to organize a GB then please tell us how or please organize this one. Thanks!

**mmaigret** · 06-30-2002, 04:38 PM

HID 6000k/H1 kit installed yesterday from XenonDepot.

Installation was very easy and straightforward into my ZKW ellipsoids.

The lights look amazing! I wasn't prepared for how good the results were. I was driving around looking for dark roads just to experience the bright blue-white lighting.

One word about the kit- awesome.

Steve at XenonDepot was very professional and everything worked out perfect with the group buy that I was in on-- from VWVortex.

Anyway, strongly recommended-- I will post pics of the results to this thread in a few days.

**baller26** · 06-30-2002, 04:48 PM

That was the $600 H1 kit, correct? $600 is already pretty good without a group buy...

**JasonJ75** · 07-01-2002, 09:39 AM

Considering I know a guy that just dropped $1100 for Elips and Phillips 6000s $600 aint all that bad...
