Just curious if you folks are going with the packaged HID or something like the Morimoto.

I'm curious about this as well. Not even clear on what the differences are between the HIDs at Phastek and the Morimotos are.

We're offering the package available with the Hero ones (sourced locally) preinstalled.

They are AC ballasts (vs DC) so they cost us a little more, but they cause less wear on the bulbs, provide better color accuracy, and have had less flicker issues from what we've seen. Since we have a huge supply of these locally, if a problem does arise, we can quickly warranty it out.

I've been running them since I first got the vehicle over a year ago with the Morimoto retrofit kit. Morimoto offers great products to include their bulbs and ballasts, but they are on the pricier side.

Thanks Chris. Now that we know that there are additional benefits to ordering HIDs from you guys (instead of going Morimoto) this might change my mind.

Could you also elaborate a little more on the "pre-install" of the HID on the Winjet headlights? How are the ballast mounted? The pictures you took at SEMA, it seems like the demo car has a custom bracket fabricated.. all of these info will help us a lot. Sorry for all these questions

The ballasts will probably be mounted with 3M VHB initially. I know Winjet has spoken about making a bracket that will fit a standard ballast. Let me reverify if the first batch will have those. If not, it will be mounted with VHB. Strong enough to eliminate vibration and still easy to remove / replace.

Keep the questions coming. I don't mind.

We've contacted Winjet. Our rep was out Friday, but another thinks it is enroute. I'll update everyone once I get word.

PhastekSport · 12-09-2013, 05:06 PM

I have confirmed that they are shipping this week (either today or tomorrow). A backordered set of tail lights from Winjet almost delayed it, but we'll reorder those the next time around.

Once they're here you'll start to get your tracking numbers, and of course I'll post pictures of the shipment.

brianlo622 · 12-09-2013, 05:43 PM

Thanks! What about the folks that only paid the deposit of 100 dollars so far? When are you contacting us for final payment?

As soon as I can track the freight shipment, I'll give those who paid a deposit the option to pay in full.

PhastekSport · 12-11-2013, 03:09 PM

Since we are centrally located in the US, our estimated arrival date for the shipment is 12/16.

466 pounds worth of goodies.

Thanks for the update.
