Sponsored Sales & Group Buys

~4000 miles still pretty good without color change and it's only around $30 bucks. give it a try

Kaixen are made by a south korean company that is also the international research center on lighting
They should last 3000 hours of use if not touched with bare hands or subjected to water leaks behind the headlight housing/lens

If you bought them from Excelerate contact him and see what he can do
while the warranty is a year you never know~

6500 is too high a color anyway
4300 stock
5000 more blue with good white on road
6000 more blue and way less white on road but picks up lane markings excellent
