Ok, so here's the deal....we've located the direct distributor and worked out a deal....negotiated and looks like prices will be about $15 shipped per set (this includes shipping to, shipping away, shipping material, and paypal fees). There's also 3 versions..
- WARM WHITE - 4300K
- PURE WHITE - 5500K - 6000K
- COOL WHITE - 6500K - 7000K
Still have to hammer out a few things, but once we do, I'll petition the mods to start a second round of group buy.

these babies definitely turn blue after you drive around, or leave them on for a little while. they're not so bad when you first turn on your lights, but by the time you get to where you're going, they have turned pretty blue.

Ok, I want to gauge interest. Are there people interested in buying more of these for roughly $15 a pair? This is just a poll. If there is, I'll take it to the mods to get cleared for a second round group buy.

yeah, these are the same brand LEDs as the last group buy. This is mainly for those who missed out or want spares or want to take care of interior at the lower cost. Honestly, when I looked at the LED outside the housing, it was pure white, so these are good quality LEDs, there was just a eyelid housing issue. Even then, for those sporting 6000K to 8000K HIDs, these will match eyelids. If I can get at least 10 firm sets, then I'll host another GB.

I'm down for 5-6 sets (gotta buy for my friend too) if..so far none of you guys have gotten the light out error message, and the colour doesn't turn really really blue so it won't match my OEM xeons, but so far the pictures look promising except for the 6000k. BTW, Azn how much were the prices from the last group buy? these are the exact same bulbs from the same vendor or did you guys locate the distributor? 1 more thing how much is shipping to Toronto?

Ok, I'm going to PM the admin to get permission for a second group buy then. Depending on how fast a response, I'll probably start the GB early next week so keep an eye out.

Mine is 4300k. I realize that if you insert it vertically (I) to the housing, it will be a little more brighter.
Do they make it in amber as well? I need some for the side makers. I also wish it they can make it in 5 SMD instead of 2.

Unfortunately, those are the only 3 shades they make from what they've told me.
