All weekend order shipped out. Thanks for ordering!
Updates on front turn signals: Looks like it won't be a simple plug and play application. Will need to install load resistor (couple bucks on ebay) unfortunately. Rears work great though. I'll have them in stock by mid-end of Feb with the launch of our website.

Got my LED's today. Very fast shipping. My clear sidemarkers also came in the same day. Feels like christmas all over again. I'll upload the pics as soon as I am done, but with this cold weather it might not be for a couple of days.
Did I get a AZN OPTICS vinyl for my car?!?!?!

Well.... delay in HIDs is because my testers seem to need a bit of time to install them before testing and I don't want to release a product that hasn't passed more live testing.

I got my LEDs and clear sidemarkers installed. Waiting to get some good pictures. Everything went well. I just got a quick question. Are you sure you sent me 8000k? I think it might just be that the eyelid housing make the bulb output more blue, or the fact that the led is clearly visible in the sidemarker. But my canbus 8000k LED from the group buy don't seem to match these.
Do you think it would help if I order 2 new sets from you for my eyelids to match better, or is it just never going to match because the headlight housing makes it look more blue/purple.

These are true to spec 8000K with 1% degree of accuracy. These are much more accurate than the Blesk ones because the more narrow voltage range those LEDs can accept will shift the Blesk a bit more towards the bluish range, especially while driving under load. And yes, the natural bluish tint on the eyebrow housing will also effect the color somewhat, which is why you need LEDs with a higher lumen output to be able to overcome the tint and wash it out, which also unfortunately, the blesk ones didn't. What you can do as a test is take the LED out of one side of the sidemarker and plug it into the brow closest to the sidemarker with the same LED on the other side and see how that output looks.

But I am still a bit confused: So the original group buy in this thread were different than the current ones I got? Or are the blesk ones from a different group buy?

There were a few group buys as we were sourcing for LEDs that could handle the voltage range, so not sure which of those group buys you were a part of lol. Not sure if you got the Blesk ones, or these ones from my initial buy back in summer 2010.

I ordered on Monday evening, and they arrived on Friday all the way over here in Ohio - perfect way to start the weekend!
I tried to install them last (Friday) night, but could not find my needle nosed pliers and was unable to to do the install. With the pliers today, it only took about 30 minutes total.
Also, I'll admit, I was one of those noobs who was not sure how to order. The only times I've used PayPal was for an order a year on eBay, so I was unfamiliar was the whole process. I'll reiterate what I was told to do and did - go to PayPal and click the "Send Money" tab. Enter Mike's email and put in the corresponding cost of what you're buying and click the circle that it is a purchase for "goods". Then in the next page in "comments", list username, address, quantity, and color for what you're buying. Hope that helps.
I got a few crappy iphone pics that I'll try to put up in the next post.

Car is Palladium Silver, although a bit salt covered (took it for a quick rinse after the outside pics actually). There is quite a bit of contrast in the garage/dark pic that you can see in person but not through the picture. I have CrystalVisions right now, planning to get 8000k HIDs once Mike has them available. The LEDs are the 8000ks.

AZN Optics I've bought three pairs of these lights so far, and I'm using four for my w204 and two for parking lights on my R350. Not too long ago, the ones for the r-class just went out. Like, it just kept on blinking and then when I checked them, one of those white flat pieces was melted off and finally it was to the point where they didn't even work at all. For my W204, I'm running 8000Ks on the inner eyelids and 5000Ks on my outer eyelids. Those 5000Ks have been given me the same problem as Sugah Daddy and the one other person. When I turn off the car, and leave it, just the outer eyelid lights, the 5000Ks, would just stay on. I'll try and post a video on YouTube to show you what's going on. I'd love to know what's wrong with these. Thanks Man!
