Please be aware that HID conversion kit sell by "http://myworld.ebay.com.au/helen-gg" on eBay claim to be non-china make are actually not quite true.

Actual products were manufactured in China by "East Lighting".

And the same product model "WIZ" can be found under here, also number of other similar model.

Please make sure that you aware of this before you make your decision to purchase the product.

Luck you. I used to own a non European H4 Hi/Lo set, and the bulb blew 3 times within a year. Also, the genuine/branded European HID (BMW, Benz) produce around 3200 lumen, however, some after market only around 2700 lumen and not build according to the standard. If they try to make it produce up to 3200 lumen, it will cause too much glare from the reflector and easily blow up.

Lots to think about to select the right one and sometimes don't mind to pay a bit more to get the right product, right "K", and last longer.

Luck didn't get stitch up by her (or him??). With previous bad HID experience I will do more research to get the better one.

Just a through, most likely this "Helen" created lots of fake eBay ID, sell it to herself/himself and give positive comment in order to impress/convince other to purchase from her (or him). And also maybe all the negative comment are from genuine buyer.

Anyone here that purchased from Helen maybe able to comment a bit more on the product.

I am quite interested to find out the quality as well.

Do a bit of trace on this eBay seller ....

Her advertisement link all images from http://comicvcd.com/ .

This company claim to be selling WIZ HID conversion kit for only USD$129.00 = $157.00.

Address given on the website "26 Regent St, Melbourne" looks like not exist in the map. Anyone in Melbourne able to confirm this address ?

Explanations in the website are great, however, contact email via Hotmail or GMail, telephone via Chinese & Australia mobile number, no real person name given for contact.

14 months warranty on the products. Sounds very attractive and stir/fool around, assumed the product is in top quality and last longer the other products. Need to test it out.

We should be careful when decided to purchase anything from eBay or over the internet. Make sure that you know what you are doing before you pay.

Warranty means nth.

They can offer lifetime warranty as well, but one day if your HID kit has any problem and you send it back to them, do you think they will send you a replacement back to you? There is no guarantee.

These HID kits in China are worth around AU$90 to $100 or even less, it depends on how many you buy from the wholesalers.

Quality? maybe.

most of the HID Kit on eBay are from China. They come from a factory then label them with different brand names :spiteful:

So if you want to get a kit with unknown brand name Just get the cheapest, they're all the same (the bulbs might be a different story)

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
