I reserved a set of the pre 00 projecters from from RPI about 10 weeks ago. They are currently being manufactured by INPRO. I called RPI today and they are expected to recieve a shipment from inpro by wednesday this week these lights may be included, depending if they were completed as scheduled. I was told to call wednesday to confirm their arrival. RPI is expecting 20 sets of these lights and they have been excepting orders for awhile now (at least my order).

I was originally told that i should recieve 1st or 2nd week in july and am going waiting for them

if you havent reserved a set yet i would if i was you. Once the word is out that they are available im sure the few sets that have not been sold yet will go fast

Is it confirmed that the lights will fit pre 2000 with factory xenons, cos I think you can get the lights for pre 2000 with halogens on ebay but non yet for pre 2000 with xenons.
