Thanks!
Thanks for the fast shipping! Very quick and easy to install. The 5000K LED is slightly more blue than I imagined, but I like the color more than the stock 4300K Xenon.
Can anyone recommend some 5000K bulbs to replace my stock bulbs? They seem to go dirt cheap on eBay. A quick search on the forum advises that any D2S HID replacement bulb will suffice.

As our Facebook subscribers already know, we've cut over our 194 Wedge LEDs to our new V3 design.
We're constantly exploring new technologies and techniques to present the best possible product out there for you. This new design utilizes a "box" top design will utilize a larger CREE diode and output slightly more lumen (brighter) and give better 360 degree lighting output. The big thing is we've introduced a new high temp resistant non-conductive gel substrate to the resistor component that has a much higher melting point than solder. This will help keep components in place during all but the largest of current surges which results in heat spikes. This is a problem with all aftermarket LEDs where these heat spikes reach the melting point of the solder which causes the resistors to "float" freely and allow gravity and engine/car vibration to cause component shifting. With this gel, everything is held in place until the current surge passes and the solder re-solidifies with everything held in place.
These have already undergone months of live testing from our volunteers and have met with success.
I'll get pictures posted later this week of the updated design.

Anything new on 5000K fogs?
I remember you saying that DOT is making it hard to even offer solutions for the foglights, but I'd rather deal with you than some Chinese-counterfeit website claiming to have genuine Philips DiamondVision 5000K bulbs.....
I don't care about super-bright output from the fogs, it would just be nice if the color temp matched my other AZN DLRs and Factory Bi-Xenons. HID kits are available, but the quality of most of them look really dubious so I'm not sure those are worth the risk either.

We've been getting some trickling in every now and then. I basically have to ship the ballasts and bulbs in separate shipments to get it through, which adds long delays. We announce shipments on our facebook page and they're usually snapped up within the first couple days due to their popularity with being a built in canceller design.

I am looking for 2 sets of 5000K LEDs ($35) just to have a extra set as back up if I mess the first set up. And what about reverse lights or tag light bulbs?

AZN Optics is now an direct distributor for Morimoto HID kits. These are top of the line units with quality engineering behind. Initially we will be offering H7 5000K HID kits, but will slowly be expanding our lineup till we carry the full range of Morimoto products.
Since their debut in 2011, the Morimoto Elite Systems have earned their reputation amongst many as the aftermarket's best HID kit. We urge you to check out their spec's below, Read the Reviews, Google "Morimoto Elite", and then decide for yourself. We're sure proud of it!
The 'Moto 3Five H7 bulbs feature: Ceramic bases for precise alignment giving you a clean beam pattern. Quartz glass tubes to minimize UV output and maximizing luminosity. Their Praxair (US) metal halide salts produce very accurate color temperatures.
The 'Moto ballasts feature: Compact, clutter-free design with integrated igniters. Completely weatherproof body & potted internals. Braided tech-flex insulated high voltage line enhances durability and looks, the interior lining prevents EMI interference. Laser etched graphics, aluminum fittings & mounting hardware. "SS" (SpeedStart technology) greatly enhances bulb warm-up speed without artificially high start amperage, now comes standard as of July 2012.
The 'Moto Heavy Duty Relay Wire harness features: Independent 40amp relays with LED indicator lights. Corrosion resistant ceramic fittings are rubber coated throughout. 14 gauge stranded copper wire protected by durable black tech-flex mesh looks like a factory harness when installed. Designed to be completely plug n play.
The Standalone Can-Bus harness replaces the relayed battery harness with two individual sub harnesses. Recommended for vehicles that recognize when a bulb is out, these contain a series of capacitors and resistors to trick the car into thinking nothing has changed and help you avoid annoying "bulb out" warnings. Great for many modern Euro applications
Let's not forget the 5-year warranty on the entire kit. The Morimoto Elite system is designed to run for 2500 hours, so that's what it's guaranteed for. Don't let vendors with their BS "lifetime" warranties fool you into thinking you're buying something well-made with that lame excuse. (no HID's will last you a lifetime, and if you think that company will be around forever anyways let alone pick up the phone when you have a problem, think again).

The 194's listed on your website are the new v3 ? Do they still have the problem of sitting too deep in the socket and not keeping connection ? I have the v1 and they have trouble staying on due to that.

The new V3 we extended the voltage plate so you have more surface area to play with. Additionally, a side effect of the gel substrate in the V3 added physical stopper so you know when you went too far unlike the older version where people were pushing the clip right on top of the resistor.
