KAIXEN HID Kit Groupbuy

This is an Acurazine Special Pricing Event for the KAIXEN HID Conversion Kit and the KAIXEN HID upgrade bulbs. Kaixen is an ISO 9001 certified manufacturer that develops and builds its own components (unlike some companies that buy them from China and re-assemble it). It currently holds E13, TUV, and QS9000 quality certifications. It is the only other company in the world (other than Phillips) to have developed the diamond-shape bulbs.



Kaixen HID kits were first sold using Philips/Matshushita ballasts and bulbs starting in 1999. Since then, Kaixen has recieved its own license as well as hiring several key engineers from Germany to develop its own high quality ballast / bulbs since 2002. As stated above, KAIXEN is the only other company other than Philips to develop the diamond-cut bulbs. Kaixen is ISO2001 registered, E13 certified, and KQA quality assurance certified. All kits are made direct from the factory, and are not "rebased" as most Philips HID kits are made. The HID kits come with 1-year full replacement warranty.

There are four different colors: 5,000K (Natural White), 6,000K (Extreme White with a hint of blue), 6,500K (Extreme White w/ a hint of purple, 8,500K (Extreme Blue), and 3200K (Yellow).The yellow kit is $45 more and the double type kits are $85 more. Here are the different types of bulbs: H1, H3, H4S, H7, H11, 9003, 9004, 9005, 9006, 9007, 881. The kit comes with everything you need. All Kaixen upgrade system are designed for direct replacement with no need for additional parts or wiring.

The KAIXEN HID D2C upgrade bulbs come in 6000K, 65000K, and 8500K.

I don't have access to replacement bulbs for aftermarket HID conversion kits. Sorry. I can only get the whole kit or bulbs for cars that have HID's from the factory.

so Im looking at these and cant help but ask how it is that the kelvins work.. i mean, Im under the impression that the lower the K the whiter the light and the higher the output.. 4300k~ is pure white and has best output (which is what I would like) but you say that 6k is white... then that 6500k is purple? I thought that was anything around 9000k and up that you started seeing purple.. then 8500k blue?

Still going to buy, just want a bit more info!

You hit the board during HID fever. Seems like everyone wants to change their lights these days. How big of a difference will it be over stock? Is this just a "take old bulbs out, put new ones in" or am I going to have to do some dirty work? If its that simple, put me down for some 6000k Whites.

its not as easy as changing out just the bulbs... however, the actual "dirty work" isnt really that dirty at all.

I think 4300K is what Acura uses for their stock HID bulbs on for instance the 2nd Gen CL/TL's. It is white. According to the HID manufacturers if you go lower, around 2500 to 300K then the light becomes yellowish, as can be seen in the picture. The higher output light has less visible light.. e.g. 8000k has less visible light than 6000k. The color temperature is purely a scale to measure the colour of the light output. 5200K lamps are approx 10% brighter (measured in Lumens, not degrees K) than the 7000K.

Degrees K = ONLY COLOR
Lumen= BRIGHTNESS

They are plug and play. It should take about 30 minutes to do.

If you already have HID's from the factory then the replacement bulbs can be either 6000k or 8000k.

No I've installed many of these bulbs without having condensation getting into the headlight housing. Everything is there to install it properly.

Anyone who is interested in purchasing please send the money via Money Order or via Paypal. That is the only way I can begin this GB and get orders moving. I cannot place my order for the parts unless I have all the funds in hand.

So other than just adding color, these are functionally as effective as our current stock bulbs (as far as brightness)?

some more info

* Up to three times less wattage is used (HID = 35w, halogen = 55-100w)
* Up to four times more bright light produced (HID = 2400-3200lu, halogen = 800-1700lu)
* Up to ten times more intense light produced (HID = 202,500cd, halogen = 21,000cd)
* Up to six times longer lifespan (HID = 2500hr, halogen = 400hr)
* HID light contains less infrared and ultraviolet light, which fatigues the driver and surrounding motorists
* HID light illuminates the road with better contrast and more lifelike tones of color
* Halogen filaments naturally produce a color of 2300K to 4000K (2300K is yellowish, 4000K is whitish) Anything bluer requires the use of light-dimming color filters
* HID produces a natural color of 4100K to 6000K (4100K is daylight white, and 6000K is slightly bluish white) Anything bluer requires the use of light-dimming color filters
* HID has low lumen maintenance, meaning bulbs do not dim down as much towards the end of their lives
* HID has high flux properties, meaning light is very evenly distributed when installed properly

If you just have regular halogen bulbs right now, then you will notice a huge difference in the way the road is illuminated. If you have HID's from the factory the light will be slightly brighter and the color will change.

I have a TSX, and it was to my understanding that the TSX has one of the best HID's out on the market. So I guess the color of the HID is what we are buying. Maybe I'll convince my friend to pick these up.
