GenV DDE Group Buy Til Mar 15/04

[bimmian]

Hey guys:

Get ready for spring with Demon Eyes for your BMW E46!!!!

After negotiating with my supplier for GenV DDE kits, I was able to put together an excellent deal to offer E46Fanatics members.

If we can sell 100 sets of these DDE kits in a month, these will be $100 off, for the price of only $200 SHIPPED ANYWHERE IN THE USA. :wowee: (International shipping prices are lowered as well)

All the details can be found on our website at:
http://www.bimmian.com/fwd.htm?page=E46Fanatics

If we are not able to get our quota in order to buy the kits, we will either ship them anyway, or we will offer a 100% refund to everyone.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to post them here or send me a PM.

Thanks guys,
Ian

i doubt this thign will work ian.. but i wish you the best bro. hope it does work

[bimmian]

The Gen5 DDE is an earlier version of Halo rings lighting, but it is still a very good option.

At this price, it is considerably cheaper than the Phosphyre Halos... $100 cheaper than regular and $150 cheaper than enhanced. We offer free shipping, so i am sure that saves another $10.

And just for the record, i am not out to say which is better or to make this into a debate.... i have seen both and they are both excellent products. They both have their positive points and negative points, but all in all, in my opinion, after weighing all out, at this price, the Gen5 is the way to go.

This is exactly correct.

To simply say one is better than another is to completely disregard the value and the quality of one over another.

There are downsides and upsides to any product. Not all of you can afford an M3, that's why BMW made 325s.

[umnitza]

Also, FYI on the DDE Gen V.

A) you can hide the boxes under the headlights
B) you just run the fiber out the dust cover (no drilling)
C) allows you to change color
D) makes it look OEM

[SteelBlueXI]

Hey Bimmian.. thanks for the great service on the Euro plate I ordered from you. As you can see in my sig, it arrived already. :)

Will you be including the package of 24 colored filters (2 of each color) which is available free with Gen Vs at their normal retail price?

If so, sign me up. Thanks!!! :hi:

[gusdagoos]

im very interested in this buy but i want to know if this is a good product...what rings are better?

[bimmian]

That question is like asking "How long is a piece of string?"

It depends on what you think are important points of each one:

If you want a cheaper price, authentic OEM look and brightness, ability to change colors, go for gen5

If you dont mind paying more, want a really really bright look (more than OEM), dont need to change the colors because you like the xenon color, and want a little simpler installation, go for Phosphyre.

The mounting of the light boxes on the GenV is easy on a 323. Lots of room under the hood

Sweet lord I hope this GB goes through. :bawling:

[Talon Load]

I've got a two questions. First, I'm wondering how long they last? I saw something about 20,000 hours. Even though that sounds like a lot, if you think about it it's not really. My second question is if I can switch they from my Halogen lights to the Xenons when I upgrade later on this year?

TIA

Hi:

These can move from your current halogen lights to your new xenon lights without a problem & without buying any additional parts.

I think 20k hours is overstating the life of any light bulb.

I would imagine that you would probably get 3k-5k hours out of these bulbs, but i am just guessing. To put this into prespective, they will probably not expire in the time you keep your car. if they do, they are only about $5 per bulb through us to replace.

Thanks
ian

[gusdagoos]

im hoping this GB goes through too...i have halogens and i need a change...

[Talon Load]

Thanks for the info Ian. Good to know that they will switch. Hope that it goes cause I'll put my in on the 1st.

[bimmian]

Hey everyone:
The GB is looking good... we are getting a good response... it will most likely go through... so dont be reserved in placing some more orders guys!

[quest330ci]

Would it be possible to install these on an M3 easily and with no drilling etc. I want to be able to remove them without a trace if necessary. TIA

I have installed these on M3s before. Given the amount of "stuff" under the hood, it presents a little more of a challenge to find a place for the light boxes, but you can do it no problem.

The only thing that may cause permanent damage is when you run the fiber optics through the rubber boots at the back of the lights. Given the nature of the rubber, being flexible, etc. If you take the fiber back out, you will never notice because it will spring back together to seal up the gap.

If you were wondering about a lease return. They never noticed when I traded in my 330ci for my M3.

Thanks
Ian

[My1stM3]

Ian, I think I want in, but who would I have install these?? Can I do it?

[gusdagoos]

yea i hope i can install these myself too......do they get hooked up so that they work all the time? if i bought color bulbs does that work better?

[bimmian]

There are no color bulbs. the bulbs that come with the kit stay with the kit, but color filters are installed to change the color. These filters are INCLUDED In the price.

You should have no problems installing these.

Instructional videos and a PDF are available for assistance.

Thanks
Ian

[bimmian]

Ian, I think I want in, but who would I have install these?? Can I do it?
We have installers all over the USA that will install these for you.

Noticing you are from NJ, i dont know if we will have someone close to you depending on where in the state you are.

Here is a map of our qualified installers:
http://www.bimmian.com/images/dde-in1.jpg

Some of our installers travel, send me a PM if you are interested.

Most of the kits that we sell (90%) I would say are DIY installations. They are not complicated to install, and good information is provided to you for instructions.

Thanks
Ian

[gusdagoos]

oh ok because i see that some people change the bulbs but i guess its with different ones

[My1stM3]

Thanks alot Ian, count me in -- Ill sign up on the site tomorrow.

I am just wondering, what kind of bulb is GenV using?? Can I find the replacement in store or I can only get it from Bimmian??

[bimmian]

The bulb is an 80w halogen bulb.

I would imagine that you can get it in a hardware store or lighiting store. I think it would be similar to those bulbs used in some track lighting.

If you do need a replacement (i have been selling these kits for a LONG time and never heard of someone requiring a replacement bulb) we can provide you with them for only $5

Thanks

Only 10 Days Left On This Group Buy....

I have had a couple tell me that they are interested in the GB, but dont have the cash right now. Here is what we can do: I can take a deposit of $50 and order you an extra kit. Make the payment for the other $150 within 60 days, and we ship the kit.

We will be ordering a kit just for you, and stocking it until you pay the other portion (tying up our money as well), so we need you to make the purchase within 60 days, and we will not be able to issue refunds.

Please, allow me to retort "Damnit People, SIGN UP!!!!"

Even if no one else signs up I would hope that 87 kits sold would be enough to push the deal threw.

Hey Ian, I just noticed the install instructions on your website address GenIV. Do you have GenV instructions I can look at? What's the difference in the install?

I'm assuming with GenV I won't need to drill and I won't need to cut the fiber or supply my own wires, right?

Also, is there any soldering involved in the GenV install or do they wires clip on to tap in? (Like the kidn supplied in the valentine 1 hardwire kit)

Thanks!

The GenV installation instructions can be found on our site... it is right above the Gen IV instructions. The install is very similar, there is no glueing soldering or any of that. You do have to trim the fibers, but that is easy. All wiring is included too!

is there any way that i can do this installation without drilling because the instructions says you need to

[SteelBlueXI]

Yeah, I think those were written before people discovered you could just run the fiber through the weather stripping. This makes the removal of the entire headlight housing unnecessary as well. :thumbup:

[alpina]

Also, FYI on the DDE Gen V.

A) you can hide the boxes under the headlights
B) you just run the fiber out the dust cover (no drilling)
C) allows you to change color

Run it out the dust cover.

[gusdagoos]

so all 100 will be sent out the 15th of march?

[bimmian]

We mentioned that the kits will ship on the week of the 15th, and indeed, the sets will be shipped next week. Probably closer to the end of the week, but we will get them ready and out as soon as possible. You can imagine, 100 kits will be a lot to build, package, label, etc.

Everyone who purchased will get an email notification sometime next week referring you into our order status system. (following week for international purchasers) There you can pull up your tracking number and track your package

Mine were sitting on my door step when I got home. :thumbup:

[SteelBlueXI]

I'm having trouble with mine. The lights are kinda dim.. and one more so than the other.. but they're dim at the lightbox so the problem is not in the fibers.

I think it may be my ground. I talked to Ian and he recommended the one near the wall that houses the distributor cap, on the engine's side of the wall. Gonna try that later.

[gusdagoos]

Got mine today too....im just gonna wait for a nice day though. Can anyone post some pictures of where they put there light box cause i know im gonna have trouble doing this.
