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)

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi all, Finally got around to modifying the fascia kit. Not super happy about it - basically a hugely overpriced piece of plastic for what I thought would've been designed for RHD and is literally the cheaper brand I was going to originally buy (for LHD Highlander), might as well have bought it from Amazon or the like. The fit is off in relevance to the centre air vents. I might try a MkII version and modify a factory radio fascia if it really gets to me. I digress... Let's start with removal of the screen from the head unit. I love that this Pioneer radio has a separable screen for custom installations. Here is the Aerpro fascia after trimming. I should've just bought the Metra version if I knew that they were the same. The part behind the fascia kit is a bezel that I designed and printed to suit. I also ended up rerouting the microphone next to the clock as I couldn't find a solution to make the factory microphone play nice with the aftermarket radio - I trimmed away the mounting lug & drilled a hole to suit in the trim bezel, so far it's the only original Toyota part that needed to be modified, still holds securely and the mic is tucked away as much as possible. No negative difference in call quality so far either. There is still much clean up to do but was keen to see how it looks like fitted so please excuse all the epoxy. Hopefully I will get it finished soon; it should look close to OEM as possible when I'm finished. Next will be to install an amplifier I have lying around, new speakers and subwoofer and finally have a stereo with some form of depth and quality.

      Flashing 4WD Lo and VSC and Engine warning lights

      Not ideal where you are but I would ry a couple of things: Either disconnect the batteries (both) and leave for a good 10 mins - enough time for all electrics to discharge.. Another one which worked for me was to disconnect the ECU - big plug on the passenger side firewall. Same thing, allow for electrics/electronics to discharge. Not practical for you at this stage but if you can get a Scangauge. This will allow you to clear the codes. Car has gone in limp mode. I had this problem several times whilst towing a caravan due to a performance chip which would cause a limp mode. No more as I have had the ECU remapped.

      Long start time when engine warm - 2004 Corolla

      Hi guys, I’m a long time Toyota owner, and am currently enjoying a 2004 Corolla Wagon with the 1.8 1ZZ-FE. The car starts and drives really well, however during warm starts (after sitting for 5 minutes) the car cranks for around 6-8 seconds before starting. It’s worth noting the following: - The car starts right away in the morning or if it hasn’t been driven for a couple of hours. - There is no indication of rough idle or fluctuations when driving - Outside air temperature doesn’t seem to make a difference I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this issue? I’m leaning towards vapour lock in the fuel rail caused by leaky injectors? I’d appreciate any advice or if anyone has had a similar issue with their car. Thanks very much in advance, Oakley

      Head Unit with Apple CarPlay

      Hi gillystylez, the link for your car and stereo is https://aerpro.com/vehicles/toyota/toyota-rav4-2013 I am not to sure with yours but you will need the APP9 Harness and Patch Lead, double DIN facia plate, possibly the T Harness (for adding aftermarket bluetooth car kits), double check with a supplier of the kits (Super Cheap, Repco...) to make sure of what you will need and get a quote on fitment or harness. I had to buy HEAPS more cables with the JVC unit and it was very expensive. Hope that helps!

      Brand new Prado 2022 with intermittent engine/transmission stutter

      Gday Doug (600C), I have a 2023 GXL that from new that has a ‘whoo-whoo’ sound at similiar revs that you describe. Its most anoying at 75km/hour in top gear under load ie. up a slight hill. Toyota guy cant give an explaination but says he drove another one with only 1000kms on the clock and did the same. Have you found a cure or diagnosis at all?
