Updates?

Been about a month since we've heard from you and another weeks time will be mid October. Any updates for us?

I emailed them and they're in the process of building them

"If we are finished in time next week, but otherwise we'll be looking at the week after. We lost one employee last week so were firing on half cylinders at the moment but don't want to cut any corners to try to speed it up"

Since no updates at all this week that means we are expecting them to ship out next week?

Feeling the same way. Would like an update since the email I got said they'd be shipping out late last week. It's now late this week... Please just keep us updated.

Hey everyone, thanks for bearing with us. We've been understaffed for the last couple weeks so we're a bit behind schedule, but that said, we're shipping out half the orders tomorrow, and the rest mid-way through next week. We'll send emails to anyone who still needs to submit final payment. Those that already submitted final payment are at the top of the list in order of submission date.

Long story short, thank you guys for bearing with us through this process, it's taken longer than we expected and we had to drag out the group buy longer than we wanted due to low numbers. Unfortunately the FC market seems to have dried up for the most part so continuing to develop for this chassis will be somewhat limited... though in addition to the HID's we do have a few parts for the FC due to be released in the next month or so. Hopefully performance parts will resonate a bit better with the FC community than performance lights ;) .

SBG only stays in business and develops parts based on community interest... if the interest disappears so do we. Vote with your FC parts orders from us, so we don't have to start doing Hondas :D

Thanks for providing an update Heath. Should we expect to see tracking numbers on the items either via email or PayPal?

Soooooo.... Is that a no on tracking numbers? Have they gone out?

Its better to email them to check the status of your order, I got mine already after a problem shipping it to me, when i recieved it they sent me a wrong bulb. And Im still waiting for a tracking # for the bulb that would fit the hid housing

For anyone still waiting on their lights, they will be out Monday (we're working this weekend to make sure of that).

Galaxy Convoy, if you didn't receive your bulb replacement, send us an email immediately and we'll figure out what's up.

worth the wait boys. sit tight

Still waiting.....

I was given my tracking number about 2 weeks ago, gave FedEx a call today and they said they never received a physical package, only that a label was created.

So far, HORRIBLE customer service. Over a month late with delivery and next to nothing in the way of updates on what the hell is going on.

I'm not upset that it's late, more that there was never any communication on why it's late. I would very much like a phone call explaining where my package is and when it will be in my hands as soon as possible.

Thanks for the call guys. I'll get back to you tomorrow

FC Light delays
 

Blackball7 We got your message and we're trying to track down what happened to your shipment. We put in a claim with Fedex for the lost package and hopefully it'll turn up. In the meantime, we've packed you another kit, its now sitting in our outgoing mail room, with the rest of our final FC HID kit batch. If the original kit shows up as well, we'll get a return label to you, sorry for the hiccup.

For anyone else waiting on an HID kit, the delays with this batch were an embarrassment for us, but they are now completed and in the mail. We took a shot when completed this run.

Once again, we're very sorry for all the delays, Happy Holidays.

Darn, I wish i picked up an FC before this GB because I seriously want to update my lights. Is there any chance that these make a come back?!

Put your name on a new list, if we can get enough people together we're more than happy to make these again. Gathering FC owners in one place and actually collecting deposits to make parts is easier said than done... it takes a LONG time to build interest and much longer to actually get payments in compared to every other platform we deal with.

Basically if you guys want our parts we'll make them, if there's enough interest.

I'm in for sure! Funny it seems like I was just emailing you about this. Haha

im in for one!

...This is happening!

We have gotten multiple customer contacts for FC lights, and are putting together a small production run of them now. If you're interested in reserving a set, just check out on our product page! Supplies are limited, we have to special order a lot of these components, so pick up your pre-order spot before they sell out!

Perfect, thanks! How long do these lights last? I am interested in the 50w so how much of a shorter life span would that be compared to the 35w. Also, what's the difference between the slim and the HD. Thanks! Can't wait to place my order!

Where do we sign up?

The Slim ballasts are lighter and smaller, but the total lifespan is somewhat reduced, and they are water resistant not water "proof". The HD versions are heavier but can take more of a beating.

The bulb lifespan is hard to gauge... Replacement bulbs are under $50 but these bulbs last a VERY long time... standard 35w setups can last as long as 100K miles or more, and I wouldn't expect more than a 10-20% reduction in bulb life with the over-driven 50w ballasts.... either way you're looking at a VERY VERY long time between bulb replacements :icon_tup:.

At this point we are already mid-production run... we do these very infrequently so anyone that wants an HID kit, please check out ASAP on our website here -> SilverLine Bi-Xenon HID Projector Headlights (FC3S RX-7) - SakeBomb Garage LLC
