Garduna · 08-20-2010, 08:40 PM

Looking good

Bdh821 · 08-23-2010, 09:45 AM

Alex, I'm still waiting for you to get back to me about my 7000k HID bulbs being different temperatures. One looks 7000k and the other looks 8000k. You told me you would send me new bulbs. Please get back to me. Thanks

but adding the new ground wasn't a total bust cause it does help with the bulbs come up to temp quicker!

i MAY be putting up my HID setup with custom brackets for a clean install up for sale soon though guys! nothing wrong at all with them and i LOVE them but the cops in my area are really strict and i'd rather just go back to a LED setup and not be scared driving at night! lol

Alex@Alpine · 08-23-2010, 07:04 PM

Cops can not, and will harass you do to your HID Angel Eyes, it is purely cosmetic.

Cops will place a white sheet of paper on the floor 10 feet from the car, if any color from yellow to white does not shin on that paper, that can be a ticket, but since your Angel Eyes are Cosmetic only, you will not be harassed. I have sold over 200 units, and never heard a complaint about any cops.

i don't doubt that but i've already had a cop bust a U and follow me all the way home at night and that was either due to my lights or no front plate but i also get flashed a lot at night from oncoming drivers. i know i can easily replace my bulbs with a higher temp that won't be as bright as 3k but i'd just rather go with an LED setup.

i'm in no way knocking your product Alex, as a matter of fact i LOVE them and you have been the BEST vendor i've ever worked with BY FAR! but i live in a really small town with a lot of cops always rolling around pulling over nice cars and i don't want ANY attention from them at all anymore.

I hate to agree with BSM but just the other day i was pulled over for... "havnig too bright of a light..." hmmm wonder what penal code that is? No I did not get a ticket, was told that it looked like I was driving with my high beams. I however will NOT be bullied to changing my ways. I pay my taxes and follow the law. Among all, these are by far the BEST AE Set up!

spang135 · 08-24-2010, 10:29 AM

Alex my list of problems is growing worse now the driver side doesnt come on all the time

Bdh821 · 08-24-2010, 06:00 PM

Alex, is there a tracking number for my bulbs?

Bbh I told him yesterday his bulbs where sent out.

Garduna, what was I suppose to send you?

Alex@Alpine · 08-24-2010, 09:26 PM

Garduna · 08-24-2010, 10:39 PM

Dude, could you please handle this through a pm and remove that post? I never got a message back from paypal about this.

All ur doing now is making me look bad. I've been a part of so many group buys in these forums and this is the first time paypal has done this to me.

I was not trying to make you look bad man, they frooze my account with 3K in it over that transaction, my mistake.

Alex@Alpine · 08-24-2010, 11:14 PM

BTW, it was also the way you asked me, I felt I had to clear the issue here making people think I haven't shipped your stuff after a month.

Hey Alex - Pm me your address (mailing) sent you an IM earlier today. THanks Bro!

1speedbike · 08-26-2010, 02:34 PM

Got mine

I'll let you know how the install tomorrow goes !

///M1 · 08-26-2010, 02:47 PM

BTW, does one need to disconnect the power/battery?

Any other helpful tips would be great, the video was a bit murky.

I'm assuming you do have to disconnect the battery for the sake of safety, since you're wiring it up straight to the battery terminals in the engine bay. I'm doing my install tomorrow morning (hopefully) so if there's anything particularly troublesome or something I want to point out, I'll post it on here. Maybe someone else can chime in with other tips prior to my install to help me out as well?

wbg tom · 08-27-2010, 11:01 AM

briefing: install is simpler than i thought. me and my homeboy used the install videos streaming thru my hd2 as a guide while installing. we did it without disconnecting the battery, used a towel to hold the wires when connecting to the power and ground terminal for safety, loosen up some bolts to loop wiring a bit, plug em up and flush the wiring. the caps were the main hard part i'd say.

Bdh821 · 08-30-2010, 09:01 PM

So today was the first day one of my AE's didnt fire up when starting the car. Whats the solution to the problem now? It almost seems like these kits have too many problems and im getting aggrivated

wbg tom · 08-30-2010, 09:16 PM

driver side seems to be an issue and grounding it was the fix. alex sent me the video. i haven't done it so can't tell u the results.
