By the time these are ready to be shipped, Summer will be over for me in England.

Wanted these fitted for a photoshoot of the car.

I will be away for the whole of June in Las Vegas, just in case I hold up the Group buy for others.

I ordered mine through CARID and they contacted the mfg and said they are in quailty control now and should be shipped on Monday at the latest. Don't know if I buy it. If I get a tracking # or any more info I will pass it along.

yeah, sorry, been kind of busy recently. I did get in touch with him and he does have the shipment in. There are 30 units total for this initial shipment with more coming. He's trying to work out schedule to get me in and do a final quality control test fit and function check. The first 30 people on the group buy list will get theirs first and everyone else will get theirs with the next shipment.

So are you re-opening the group buy? The first 30? Are there even 30 people in this group buy as of when it ended? As for quality control, havent they already began shipping this product, so they should have done that already, one would think so, can the people on the list just send payment to Ray from Spyder and place there order?

Just checked back, yeah 26 people, so everyone should be good. I was not aware that they started shipping some, but it's possible a different sales guy has been processing some sales already. I'll double check with Ray tomorrow.

I want to know how the light output is, if it's better I'm buying a set just for the fact it has better light output.
