*** This group buy has been approved by Otoupalik and Simon @ Evosport ***
5000K LEDs: picture thread
  • 1 LED on each side
  • No CANBUS error on dash!
  • Straight fit into W5W/194/168 plug
  • 5000K color temp (see picture thread)
We need a minimum batch of 100 pieces (50 pairs) to start production. Production itself shouldn't take very long normally. When production is finished they will be sent out to all members via Belgian Air Post (1 week). You will not get any customs charges by the way!

Please read:

How to join?
  • Go to the group buy website at http://www.grouped-buy.org/mbw/store closed until 14th June (tomorrow) because of Paypal limits
  • Select your desired amount of pairs
  • Go to the check-out and fill in your details (name and address)
  • Complete the check-out and pay via Paypal website (SSL secured)
Your order will then be paid and I will have your details (amount, address, name).

Check-out is via Paypal via credit card, if you do not have Paypal then you must get an account (free). If you wish to pay via Paypal via eCheck, please contact me via PM but I am giving priority to credit card because it's faster and easier for me. Payments are done in EUR, I have a conversion on the website for your ease.

Privacy? Payment is over secured SSL (Paypal website). Your details will be wiped after the group buy and the website will never get any financial details because everything goes through Paypal.

Questions? That's what this thread is for

What if 50 pairs isnt reached?, I bet a lot of users already bought the 4300K LED.s wich unfortunately turned out to be a real disapointment..

And if everything goes through, how long will manufacturing take?

I get this error when I try to order 3 pairs:

Quote:
Sorry

The total weight of your order it too high. Please contact us to see if we can make an alternative arrangement or reduce the amount of items in your basket.
I tried reducing the order to just 1 pair and got the same message. Any ideas?

I just placed an order of 5 sets.
When I looked at the paypal order summary, for some reason, it shows country as Belgium in the shipping address.
I am not sure why this is happening, since I have checked everywhere, and nowhere it says Belgium for shipping address.

Yes your address is correct! UK and not Belgium

Yes they claim a €2500 recieving limit per year

Receiving limit per year €2 500,00 EUR
Remaining €506,49 EUR
Reset 14 Jun. 2009

So I just have to wait 2 days for the reset? What a ridiculous system
