Mafioso HID Low Beam Conversion

The bulbs is where its different. I cannot tell you if the ebay bulbs are within specs for a 9006 or if they are offset in the base or if the bowl is near the same place as the halogen counterpart.

Nice! Are you using a D1S, D1R, D2S, D2R, or some other bulb? And are you modifying the base or housing in any way?

Nope, technology has caught up, which the DXX is the only "true" xenon bulb is a common misconception.

With time consuming expensive R&D manafactures have changed alot of things in regards to a rebased bulb.

The Dxx is only a base, the position of the "bowl"(Where the magic happens) is the most important factor.

Why bother with doing costly retro-fitting when the industry has progressed and has been able to create a bulb which is more then comprable to a Dxx counterpart.

One thing that is most important regardless of where you purchase the retrofits, is where the bowl(xenon equivilant of a filament) is on the base.

I cant stress enough FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS.

I have been in the industry since the days of taking Dxx and retrofitting housings, those days are long gone.

BTW: Thanks guys for all of the support!!
 
Unity, what are you talking, can you explain what you mean with the adapters? Prior, I thought you were talking about the bulb being off-center? That's what isn't ideal? Or?

..which would be different than the depth that mafioso's been talking about perfecting..

Not saying anybody's wrong, just curious, because I WANT A FREAKING KIT :) and want the confusion gone, so I can get on with selling my factories, and getting a new kit put in.

And as far as anyone caring if they're dot approved, wtf, that's like needing food and asking the farmer if the fruit's been approved. Who cares, it's not like all the millions of mark viii's are going to blind everybody and their dog driving everything else on the road. You're being rediculous, and f'g idiots. Shut the hell up about it. Nobody cares.

The OEM HID lamp has a glass shell. As such, it looks off-center and even in the housing you can see that the opening for the lamp is off-center. The fact is though that the discharge point is NOT off-center. On another forum this was proven with photos, measurements etc.

New lamps dont usually have a glass shell. Either way, as you can see in the adapters above there is a raised inner ring consisting of three sections. For some reason the ring is thicker on one side than the other. That makes the HID off-center and thus focus off, etc....

But who cares, right?

Not sure why this kit would not work on your gen 1, but you have to ask him.
 
What I really think is funny with this whole thread is that I took pictures that give evidence to the fact that the focus is spot on with Mafioso's kit, but nobody who is against it has mentioned the photo graphical evidence.... I guess I forgot everyone is an expert, and when real evidence and data is brought to the table as long as you ignore it you are still right lol...

There is no photo graphical evidence, It's not any better than the others. Looks the same as the other kits plain & simple. It seems with all of the issues you guys are having such as the wire splicing you would almost be better off with a regular kit. It includes a short & long wire harness. BTW, you shouldn't be splicing into the discharge side at all. I hope you guys are referring to the power side.

As for the focal point, who the heck cares! You guys are way to paranoid. It doesn't matter anyways because this kit is not DOT approved anyways. It's all hype. I swear, people are just like a flock of sheep.

Buy this kit, Buy that kit, it really doesn't matter. It's all made in china or japan and none of it's DOT. Just get a set of HID's, put them in your car & there you go! There are many good plug & play kits. This particular one is no better IMHO! You guys can call me a hater or whatever you want. I am stating a simple fact & you just don't like it. There are a lot of new people that come to LVC & I want them to know that they have several options to choose from. I am not selling a damn thing! I think this speaks pretty loud.

One of you in particular is a little whinny a$$ & couldn't hang so you started a new thread about me. Grow a pair & stop acting like a girl. We wouldn't tolerate that for 2 seconds around here.
 
I think whats even more funny is that you don't even own a :q:q:q:qing Gen2 or a Gen1 with factory HID's....

to tell you a secret, I destroyed a Gen1 LSC housing sorta, to measure and make sure everything was at the equiv as stock we took one apart, and measured,

If anyone wants to know excatly how we obtained all of the measurements your to get in touch with me, I wont tell what they are but I will how I got them.

And what's your point? I don't have to own a car with factory HID's to understand them or to work on them. That was a stupid comment.
 
Its true, the kit is practically the same exact thing as the 70 dollar kit off of ebay.

I've never seen this kit in person, but from the pictures I see no difference in quality. I purchased the ebay kit from a well known seller and couldn't be happier, I've had it for about six months now with no problems at all. I don't know how much this mafioso kit goes for but i wouldn't pay more then 75 for it when i can get the same thing off ebay for 70.

Just my honest opinion

No, its not. The kit looks the same as another kit with adapters which I think sold for around $300 - INSANE on that price.

My point is that you coming in here and bashing the hell out of Mafioso's kit is for no :q:q:q:qING REASON... you don't own a car that can use this kit, you don't need to buy this kit... and I think you should really just shut the :q:q:q:q up.

Perhaps you should shut me up! I doubt if you could. Why are you so closed minded to other options?

As far as Mafiaso goes, He has not said anything rude, he has not said that his kit is the only one available, It's other people such as you!

I never said Mafiaso's kit is no good, I simply said there are other Gen2 options for less money if you are handy. There are other options for the Gen1 if you are not handy.
 
I'm not closed minded to other options... I shopped around and looked at all the available options and decided to buy Mafioso's kit...

I'm plenty handy and could whip up an adapter ring for an $80 eBay kit, but that's not the parts I wanted on my car. I made this thread about my experience with Mafioso's kit, I never said that this was the only kit available or the only option that there was.

You were implying that everything else was inferior. That is not the case at all.
 
My First Post

[FONT=&quot]This weekend I got to install the prototype HID low beam conversion from Mafioso. I tried to take as many pictures as possible, and try to accurately compare the output and beam pattern of the factory lights compared to Mafioso's kit.

I took about 100 pictures all together, and unfortunately most of the night shots of the lights are a bit blurry thanks to having a cheap digi cam...

I will also say that this kit was not the final product people will be getting and I am trying to help Mafioso refine the kit to make it as easy of a plug and play as possible.... even for the prototype it was a very easy install though.[/FONT]

Turborich's First Post

No offense but they don't look any different than the $80 ebay kit except for the adapter plates. You can fab some adapters up fairly easy for a few bucks.

I would say it all depends on how much this kit will cost. If it's reasonable then it might be worth it since the adapters will be pre fabbed, If it gets into the $200 dollar range I would say no.

As far as I am concerned this whole focal point is a weak argument. One can easily compensate for that with the depth of the adapter & bulb.

When I read my first post it doesn't sound like I say anything about this kit being better, or the other kits being inferior... I'm just making a thread about my experience with Mafioso's light kit...

Don't try to spin it, Flock of sheep, I swear.:eek:
 
Lol... I'm not spinning anything... I'm just reading what was said... Aint it a bitch when the things you type are recorded....
 
Jesus christ is this bitch still barking up this tree?

and he said "I" was acting like a girl?

jesus christ rich/dickwhatver your name is.. GIVE IT A REST.

where in the hell is my "ignore user" button!!!

what a piss ant.
 
Perhaps you should shut me up! I doubt if you could.

you cant even shut yourself up, much less expect someone "else" to make you shut up.

How f*cking elementary school can you get?

KK :"Shut UP.."

Richlittledick :"make me"!

*shakes head*

What a dismal little bitch, has nothing better to do than post BS on the internet, whether he HAS EXPERIENCE with the product or not.

Rich would argue with a damned TREE STUMP.

On a positive note, Mafioso is getting ALOT of inquires about his product, regardless of what richlittledickthetroll says or does.

KEEP DRIVING THE BUSINESS TO MAFIOSO RICH!
your doing a fine job.
 
haha, thanks again guys for the support and feedback.

whatever you are charging for those kits... it AINT ENOUGH.

you need to make a special price for LVC that reflects the amout of BS you have to wade thru when you are ONLY TRYING TO HELP the community.

you have the base price of the kit and add 200 dollars for the TurboRich\LVC special price.

sheez dude, I wouldn't blame you if you withdrew this whole deal and went back to "enjoying life" at it's fullest.

I am refraining from posting the PM I got from one of the moderators about Turborich...THAT was an EYEOPENER..that's for sure.

Hang in there Mafioso!!
I commend your manners and your restraint when you are obviously being TROLLED by some nitwit on the internet.
