looks like a group buy fail....

bomberman89

well they said he'll be in tomorrow. so hopefully he is, but this long of a wait
is getting out of hand.

AZN Optics

Yeah, just heard back from him. He's been out sick and hopefully will be back tomorrow. I'll hit him up tomorrow then. They want to also inspect the headlight I've been running for the past month as well for QC purposes.

Ordered them from where?

I had a pair ordered from ProLab but I cancelled it because these are supposed to have better lenses.

Did I make a mistake?

caligreenzzz

amazon, they had 2 sets in stock at 377.00 shipped...Not sure if you made a mistake or not since spyder has been lacking communication in all aspects in regards to this group buy...did they really fit better lenses or are they full of ish??? who knows but at this point im over the waiting game...

Cycosis

Im over it too. This is kinda ridiculous

Seems like this group buy is going to fall apart real quick. That is too bad.

bomberman89

well Mike you have the ones they previously were gna sell. so i wanna ask, does it really need new projectors? i mean do you like the way its shining right now, or are you happy they are gna change to new projectors?

AZN Optics

To answer that, I'd really need to see how big a difference the new ones are. The ones I have now are...ok, but I'd really like cleaner cutoffs. If it's a marginal improvement, then probably didn't need the improvement. If it's what I really want in projector performance, then yeah, I'd say it's worth waiting.

Spyder's customer service... has been... =/ In business... No matter how "busy" you are and wanted to organize a deal with clients/another company/forum you stay in contact or respond in a timely manner, especailly with a decent amount of units with people waiting to spend $$ right now.

Luckly im not in a rush, but I feel its been poor service from SPYDER from the PRICE adjust and readjustments (which has been shady from the start after members keep finding them for sale cheaper on other sites.), and no response from SPYDER as AZN keeps calling and sending emails.

If they treat us like this... how would they respond if one of these UNITS break and we need to send it in for repair/warranty?

my lights where shipped out today from amazon 377.00 shipped...looks like Spyder wanted to create a group buy to measure the interest in the lights...these lights are now back on ebay and if you search google there are now over 10 vendors selling these lights...what a joke

05 MB Komp

I am going to give it till tomorrow, I am going to order a set somewhere else if I hear nothing.

bomberman89

well you can take my name off the list Mike. im sorry but i couldnt wait anymore so i went and picked them up direct from protuning lab today. the box says spyderauto on them so its from spyder.

caligreenzzz

how do they look??? are you going to mod them in anyway???

bomberman89

well im going to get them installed this saturday. and no not really.
it already comes with HIDs and the reflector doesnt really bother me.

05 MB Komp

Can you throw a picture up? I think I am going to do the same thing.

caligreenzzz

to each there own, but the lights look way tooo busy without any mods, ill post up mine after juno gets through with them.....

blue00r6

you know what is disappointing to me? that they did not make the lower LED portion orange and intended to be used as a blinker, just as the 2012 'special' lighting package has. know what i mean? I know you could wire the LED bit to blink w/the blinkers but i would prefer OEM coloring

bomberman89

well what were you thinking about modding? if you dont mind me asking?

bomberman89

ill put a pic up when its installed saturday

you could probably talk to ray and wait 4-8 more weeks :p

but seriously whats up if people start to back out and i end up paying the same price through this group buy, I'm gonna be pretty choked, i wanna know the deal within a few days, or i might as well get mine off amazon or some site

05 MB Komp

I just ordered mine from ProTuning Lab. No communication here on this group buy.

I am going to install a set of strobes and then I will post some pictures of them on my car.

Sorry to back out but I have a feeling that more will be doing the same.

AZN Optics

Just sent Ray pretty much an ultimatum that this needs to move now or else this group buy will fully collapse. Also he needs to honor the lower price regardless of how many are left in the group buy as the delays were no fault of our own.

Sorry for this guys, this is why I prefer to control logistics myself instead of rely on others.

AZN Optics

OK, just heard from Ray. They said they were able to test it out on one of their employee C class and say it works fine. For those still waiting, go ahead and contact Ray as they'll now start taking orders.
