For H7 kits for Protoge 5 guys.

Would you guys be interested in a nice discount from the already low prices at http://www.liteswap.com ??

You've got my attention.:)
How nice of a discount? I'd also like your opinion, if I could...
Have you heard of the ZETA kit? What do you think of it? I ask because it might be a little more economical for me to get the ZETA, unless you're talking *NICE* discount on the HID kit. ;)
--thanks

ZETA = :bs:

It is not that much brighter, but at the same time, decreases the life of the bulb significantly.

In addition, it will generate a lot more heat and could possibly damage your housing and/or harness.

We are an authorized CATZ distributer but we will NEVER sell these to any of our customers.

Thanks for the info...I had a feeling, but Catz has always been trust worthy. If you're a rep or distributer, do us a favor by telling them to keep their rep intact by discontinuing those POS's. ;)
What is the price of the HID? I've been tossing around the idea of getting some nice lights, but I don't wanna "break the bank".
Also, does Catz make any low-beam HID bulbs for the P5?
Thanks again...;peace;

i would love to have some HID's on mine. unfortunately, i drive a 93 323 with 9004 bulbs. any kits for those? :)

liteswap
March-2nd-2003, 02:50 PM
Unfortunately there is not a HID application for 9004. You might see some out there on the market, but you will be very dissapointed. The reason being the 9004 has a different filament technology. You cannot replicate the light output with a HID Capsule.

Eggy, I have told them to stop carrying it, but it isnt entirely up to them.. <shrug> They figure as long as they provide quality components (there are copycats) then it is ok.

As far as the P5 goes, it takes H7, which is the GB I am trying to setup. We have all the kits in stock, just seeing interest on them before bringing the price down. The problem is, when posting GB and sales, other vendors get all mad. So tell you guys what, do this. The kits are on sale for a limited time at 469.99 use the coupon code "ti-member" in conjunction and it should make for a pretty nice discount off the regular price of $499.98 ;)

Im running the Catrz ZETA kit and have been for about a year and have had NO problems with it. I have my ENTIRE windsheild tinted and its much easier to see at night with the ZETA kit. I am actually sponsored by CATZ-FET and they have been nothing but great to deal with!! Good products!! I have replaced ALL my bulbs with theirs and my fogs are thiers and the ZETA kit.

I'm really serious of buying HID kit, i'm just sick and tired of changing my bulbs.
my question is it's on sale 469.99 and you get coupon discounts?
can you tell me the total price shipped to 60007?

what's the differences between one you sell and zeta ones?

liteswap
March-31st-2003, 05:04 PM
Zeta is NOT HID.

The ones we sell are. Simple as that.

There is a Catz ZETA and Catz HID. Two totally different things.

or you guys can just get yourselves a set of HID's from an acura tl like I did ,,,,...
I paid 130 for lights and balasts and harnass....

don't ask where I got them ,,, you know the deal ....

liteswap
March-31st-2003, 06:58 PM
If you are implying they are stolen, I cant believe you would buy stolen merchandise.

I have 2 friends with TLs that have had their lights stolen

:rant:

Not only is it bad because it is stolen... but you could never get the focal point to be the same.. you will be causing excessive glare and your beam pattern will never be correct... :mad:

I think the point is buying stolen stuff == BAD

The fact that there is a market for selling stolen goods allows thieves to continue stealing.

i am pretty sure someone bought my amp that they stole ,,, sooo .... I don't even sweat it ... parts is parts... unfortunatly that is how it is

Bijou-MP5
April-1st-2003, 09:59 AM
true...part is part
but stealing isn't stealing, it's crime.
I wouldn't risk myself to save money from it.
however, if that works for others, no problems with me. just don't steal mine lol!!!

April-3rd-2003, 01:02 AM
liteswap I don't see your point either. And buying stolen stuff isn't bad. If you ain't steal it then you shouldn't have anything to worry about. You can get some really good items at discounted prices. :D

As a matter a fact, My boss drives one of thoughs Acuras and my co workers n I have been plotting on his Car. LOL A nice navigational system bright HIDs, excellent stero system. Yea...he does't need that car. LoL :cool:

Is this group buy only for H7 or can you get a kit for H4 too?

liteswap
April-3rd-2003, 01:12 AM
The GB is only currently effective on H7.


Buying stolen stuff is bad. You can't just say... I didnt know it was stolen. You can still be charged for the crime of buying stolen goods. I hope you do realize that.

My point is what pollax pointed out. If you buy from thieves, they continue stealing. You think it is a harmless crime, but guess what? It is a vicious cycle... and youre causing EVERYONE's insurance rates to increase.

Same with all these damn ricers stealing S2000 antennas to put on their Celicas. Too bad for the damn legal system here, or else Id hook up some 20,000V power source to the antenna or headlight so that if someone tries to steal it.. they are going to REMEMBER never to touch my car.

and while were on this subject.. I might as well throw in Credit Card Fraud. People think by stealing credit card numbers and using them.. it doesnt hurt the other person because they are only liable for $50 or whatever... well... youre causing my merchant fees to go up too. What happens then? lucky you, the price increase is passed to you.

Let me just warn whoever out there... if they try to use a stolen credit card number on our site, we WILL track you down. I make it my personal mission. I had a couple guys try it... I contact the cardholder and credit card company in all instances.

We have even done something similar to a partner of mine:

http://www.pfyc.com/store/merchant.mv?Store_Code=PFYC&Screen=fraud#example

"Recently in Jacksonville, Florida, we worked with the local U.S. Postal Inspector and the Secret Service Task Force to identify a criminal, track him down and set-up a controlled sting operation. He was arrested and is expected to be indicted on Federal charges of mail fraud and credit card fraud. "

I have and WILL contact the proper authorities if you try to steal from me.. :mad:

headlight conversions...ugggh, i wanted that so bad for my car, but just wasn't feasible, but liteswap, do ya sell running lights? i was thinking of mounting some running lights on the roof of my car just to let everyone know i'm coming :). and stealing ain't so bad, where do you think the israeli's got good pilots, mcdonald's and nuclear weapons from? oh, and don't forget the 64bit water-based processor :)
peace

If you buy stuff and you know it's stolen one's you shouldn't buy it. if you did...you are treated as criminal too.
of course you save some money, but why go through troubles?:rolleyes:

May-7th-2003, 01:39 AM
a market for stolen stuff means stuff will continue to be stolen and sold.

i can't stand stealing, unless it's under circumstances like when a desperate mother steals food for her newborn, then it's justified.

but stealing stuff people bought with their hard earned money is just wrong. you can't say that so and so is rich so therefore, it wouldn't matter. its still their money and they worked for it. or maybe their parents payed for it, but still their parents worked for it.

right... so who pays for all the overhead? warehouse costs? advertising costs? customer service costs?

People need to realize there is a lot more behind the scenes than just buying something "at cost".

How do you think you get paid? Your employer needs to make $. How do you propose they support employees with no profit? Why dont you just go work for someone and say, hey... I'll only request $2/hour because that is my cost! Would you be happy with no profits?

Just so you know, in case you did not, we already sell our kits well below retail. With the club discount, it is below what most dealers buy for.

other vendors sells over $500, where liteswap sells below and give out discounts to protege members.

I dont think that he doesnt have the money for it, he just lacks the knowledge of the basic idea behind how an economy works.

You know, there are places around the world where you can just go looting stuff... perhaps you would rather live in that type of society? In the US, we are more structured. THere is a network of distributers and retailers.

The next time you goto McDonalds, why dont you tell them how they are big theives and demand a soda for $0.05 since that is how much it costs them??

Gimme a freakin break. Your claims are completely baseless and unfounded.

and for the record I do know how a economy works, very well thank you.. I also know how a society works also .. and you of all people should know that is based off of money.

You may have all these people in here fooled thinking they are getting deal, but I know better. Life runs off of a profit. and I know you are making yours..
