Group Buy: Aftermarket Bixenon Headlights (WinPower Lamps)

[veew]

The V2/GTi lights are bi-xenon. The H7 halogen is supplementary to the high beam xenons (an internal shutter is activated to produce a high beam light pattern).

If you refer to this video at 12 and 13 seconds, you'll see the cutoff on the side of the house and slightly to the right of the pot plant rise when the high beams are activated.

The screenshots show the height of the high beam cutoff as the red horizontal line:

Hey guys, Mark contacted me today with regards to numbers as he was keen to get the GB going. After informing him we had 6 to 7 V2 orders and 5 GTi orders, he stated he was happy to go ahead however there would be a price rise.

He stated V2s would be $US429/set (therefore $US624/$AU665 with EMS shipping) and the GTi $US449/set (therefore $US644/$AU687 with EMS shipping).

I know the original prices were already pushing it for myself and 2 others, these new prices are too much for me. Let me know what your decisions are and I'll update Mark.

Pushing it too much, man. I'm not willing to spend more than $600AUD. And that's still higher than my original budget.

Just ask him what would he like more? The cash of the original price we discussed all 11-12 of us or him stuck with all the stock in his wearhouse??? Regardless of the outcome I will get these headlights.

The original price was $620AUD including shipping, that's already over my limit so I have to draw the line somewhere. It's a shame because they're really nice looking lights, maybe we can just leave it for a while longer to try and get more people?

I can understand why it costs more with smaller numbers but the price rise seems pretty steep. I'd prefer a rise that's a bit more reasonable. They do seem like good units but now they're not not much less than the cost for a single set when I contacted WP lamps a month ago! Ultimately I'm still keen if we can work it out

Hi guys,
I've heard back from Mark, whose boss has agreed to readjust the price to $US399/set (for both the V2 and GTi) for an order of less than 20 units.

This would mean the headlights will cost $US594 ($AUD633) when shipped with EMS.
BUT there is also a Paypal fee, usually $US25 but Mark stated on payment we put $US600 (which means Paypal takes $US25, they get $US575).
therefore the FINAL price of the headlights including P&H is $US600 ($AUD639).

I am happy that this price is not too much more than the original price and therefore am happy to place an order.

Please indicate if you are happy to place an order (Version headlight, temperature of HID globe) with this updated price. I will let Mark know of the final numbers for the group buy by next Monday. We still need at least 10 sets of headlights.

I'm happy with this. To clarify I'm up for GTI lights with 5000k globes

[mui_michael]

Happy with $633 for my GTI with 5000k globes order.

[veew]

Hey guys, I just updated post #38 with the Paypal fees. Sorry guys, but let me know if this is still ok.

[point]

Count me in for 5000k V2s at this price.

[Jazrod]

Yeah I am happy with that! V2 with 5000k globes.

Group buy is made up as a separate thread, yes?

[veew]

This is the GB thread, post#1 has the formal EOIs.

[veew]

Also guys, if someone is able to take over the GB from here that would be great. This is taking up way too much time that I need to put towards my exams.

Essentially I'll forward you all my emails between Mark and myself if you needed to refer to any of the background discussions that has been distilled on this thread. You just need to copy the formal EOIs on post #1 and put it on one of the subsequent posts on this thread. Mark wants to get about 10 orders by next Monday but just contact him with what orders we end up with by Monday and he'll let you know if he is happy to proceed with the current deal if we have less than 10 units.
The reason why Mark wants this deal done by Monday is because next month is their business month which may delay our production/shipments.

Once the order has been confirmed, the organiser will ask those ordering to PM your details to them.
That person will fill in the order form (provided in the emails) which includes:
Name
Headlight version
HID temperature colour
Address
Contact number

This form will be sent to Mark. Everyone then sends the money to a specific Paypal Address, once all payment has been made then Mark will send the headlights and provide us with individual tracking numbers. We should receive the headlights in less than a month (it took the Brazilians almost 4 weeks, we're much closer to China than they are).

The person taking over from me will have my eternal gratitude. This GB has taken waaaay too much of my time and I really really need as much time as I can get for this exam.

Cheers guys.
