I'm guessing Ray is on vacation or sick as he's typically not this bad with returning calls.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.
