HID on Coupe Pic

[limch1]

Not really sure why I can't find any HID on Bosch website http://www.bosch.us/content/service/mb/code/content.asp?lang=en

But managed to find the Bosch HID on China website
http://www.boschhid.com/en/index.asp

Charles,

Some said that BOSCH never produce any aftermarket HID conversion kits.
(HID conversion and dual xenon are 2 different things)


The China website is very suspicious, I don't think it's originally from BOSCH,
Check the "Contact us" page, any big company use ICQ, personal mobile and MSN for communication? No as I know of.

Official BOSCH website

Seriously, I don't know how to differentiate the quality, maybe time will tell.

Yah.. Counterfeit products today are so similar to original.. I have friends in business kena cheated and bought fake SKF industrial bearing in China.. He lost around RM 40k.. Dunno how to tell whether China products are counterfeit or original la

nowadays, HID is everywhere. Some selling really cheap.

FYI,

I sent an email to BOSCH Germany this morning regarding the URL Charles posted earlier.

I got an auto reply.

Hope the German will give us a better answer soon.

Thank you for your email.

We have forwarded your email to the responsible department for reply. You will receive their answer shortly.

If all HID comes that cheap then it is no problem trying them out. Since all HID not matter what brand usually have a lifespan of typically 5000 hours.

 

[limch1]

I went to a few shops, they always recommend me to go for the branded stuff like Philips, which supposed to last longer and have better quality...

 

[Ace]

limch1,
branded stuff also more $$$ some enougth to buy 2 sets of normal brand HID.

 

[BlackSamurai]

RM399, spoiled oledi, get a new set. :)

 

[TCSIM]

That's the trend now.. Buy cheap stuff.. TV la, Hi-fi la, laptop la.. all buy cheap stuff.. If spoilt, throw and buy new one

 

[Ace]

yeap...have to agreed with that.

 

[BlackSamurai]

I forgot to switch of my main beam yesterday night! Luckily ECU cut it off for me. Car run no problem after leaving the car for few hours.

 

[Daniel Lee]

Don't be so careless next time... :p

 

[Ace]

BS, careless you.. maybe your mind at that night focusing on some other thing. hehe

At least we know there is a auto cut in the ecu.

BOSCH reply my email.
Btw, Mr. Ngan is me.

Dear Mr. Ngan,

thank you very much for your information. Indeed, this is a clear case of brand infringement. Actually, Bosch does not produce nor distribute this product. The company has been registered in Hong Kong and our internal and external lawyers are currently filing law suits against this company and their distribution and manufacturing companies in Mainland China. Besides, we have informed China Customs authorities and seize all infringements when exported.

Dear Mr. Ngan, I will forward this your email to our colleagues from Bosch Malaysia to follow up this case with you.

With best regards
