I do not agree with the $35 dollar charge, seeing as one of my freinds with an acura recived a kit and the USPS shipping total was $23 dollars. seems sorta like a clear cut profit of 12 bucks if you ask me. That being said the kit works great in his car and was super easy to install.

 

Part of it also depends on the distance the item will be traveling. Edmonton may be closer to wherever HIDextra is located than Sudbury, Ontario. It takes a good 2-3 days to drive out there from here (thanks to lake Superior). It takes a full 18 hours for me to drive from my front door to the Manitoba border. It all adds up because she did calculate the shipping using my postal code.

Seeing as Michelle is running on PST, I'd say that was the case, I'm halfway across the continent and some ways North of her. Your buddy with Sintegra and yourself are much closer than I am. Shipping prices aren't cookie cutter costs, its by the mile.

 

no you took my comment wrong....He paid $35 and on there shipping paper it said $23 dollars ...product is good just felt a bit ripped off thats all.
and yes Edmonton is roughly 3200 Km from London Ont. Moved my brother out there this summer. thats two and a half days ill never get back....

 

Oh I see what you mean now... hmmmm.

 

tell your buddy not to feel too bad, i had the same thing happen to me last month. i won a pair of those Brazilian TL's for oyur Blazer's on eBay. i tried to "argue" the US$32.95 for S&H, but he said that was the "set" $ for USPS online shipping services. iread it s his lazy *** not wanting to go down to their Postal office (he ever said as much in an email to me).

when i finally received the lights-it took 17 days, not the 7 to 10 as i was told-the Customs Declaration inside showed that the actual cost of shipping was in fact US$21.38!

 

1.) 2000 GMC Jimmy
2.) 8000K - White with light blue tint
3.) Conversion Kit
4.) What kits will I need to convert high and low beam headlights to HID, and are my headlights sealed beam and need converted to H4, or are they already ready for the HID kits? Thanks!

 

WOW! i didn't think there was anyone who didn't know the difference between a sealed beam and the modern lights in vehicles today.

the sealed beam HL's are what you found in the 1st gen trucks-and pretty much most vehicles made in the mid 80's and back.

the H4 system you refer to is the conversion for a sealed beam system to the replacement style bulb.

you need a 9005 kit (for the HB's), and a 9006 kit (for the LB's). as for the 8K bulbs, they're really more blue with a little white in them. and most people seem to be after a "truer" white colour, which ends @ the 6K bulb.

here, check out this thread actual HID install for you to see and you'll see first hand what a fellow member thinks of his kit, and how easy the install was.

 

Okay, thank you I'm going to go with the 6000k and thanks for the link!

 

Hi,

Please understand that all EMS express mails are CUT IN LINE and expedited in front of all our customer to make sure it goes out before others, therefore there is an extra handling fee, Thanks~ The $35 is a shipping and handling charge, since the printing of the custom forms and packaging are different then normal USPS shipped to US addresses.

HI,

Your bulb type is

2000 GMC Jimmy
Low beam headlamp
9006
High beam headlamp
9005
Fog/Driving light
880

Your headlights are all single beams, so you can convert low, high and fogs and you will need 3 conversion kits to convert all.

you can order direct under the bulb type and color of your choice on www.hidextra.com

make sure to input each kit as a separate order so the coupon code is applied to each kit in each order.

Thanks~

Michelle
