When it's time to pay, will there be a link posted here with the GB price and deposit option like with the big brake kit?

This post is very much correct and thank you for posting . The only thing I'll add is that overdriving the bulbs shifts the color to a lower color spectrum (more yellow) so to compensate for that color shift you can run higher K (bluer) bulbs to correct for the color shift. At the end of the day you get 30% more light intensity from the higher wattage ballasts.

Yes

bulb color temp doesn't significantly affect light intensity... ballast wattage does. If you're on the fence go for the OEM standard 35w ballasts. If you want more light or spend alot of time driving in the city you might consider the 50w.

I only wish I could've gotten the SBG brake kit too, but I have to jump on this opportunity since it may be the last. I'll just have to take that extra $400 hit on the brake kit later.

This should take priority over other group buys. People's lives are at stake here

^ I agree, though at the moment we're trying to finish up "stopping" and "putting out fires" as well We'll try to have something up by the end of the week to begin collecting payments.

Please pull me off the list. I know I'm the one that sort of begged for this, but my home situation has taken a nasty turn in the last few weeks. The FD is the least of my worries right now, and I may even be selling it soon.

WE'RE LIVE

Bi-Xenon HID Projector Headlights (Group Buy) - SakeBomb Garage

I'll see if I can get a mod to elevate this from "GB Interest" to official GB... otherwise I'll post a new official GB thread and move the list over there. I'll PM everyone and post a link if that happens, but the link above (on our website) is where to go to process your payment.

*Once you submit payment please mark yourself as "paid" on the GB list:
ex. SBGarage - LHD - 50w - PAID
1. dimitris 20b - LHD - 35W
2. Flyweight - LHD - 50W
3. rino - LHD - 35W
4. 86v8rx7 - LHD - 35W
5. SpAm@FC - LHD country, RHD car - 35W
6. Wankel1der - LHD - 50W
7. Coolant_Leak - LHD - 50W
8. P0ONJU - LHD- 35W
9. T_Warne -lhd -35w
10. tek_88- 35w LHD
11. tofu - ?HD- 35w

I just followed the link. It requires full payment and charges additional for shipping. In the original post, shipping is included. Is full payment optional? I would like to leave a deposit now and pay the rest when they're ready to ship. Please advise.

^^ I am on the same boat. I don't mind paying full now--I just want my lights ASAP. But the original post says "Shipping included".

Let me know what to do.

Thanks.

I don't think anyone is getting their lights for a while. If we can get them in 1-2 weeks i'll pay in full now too.

Also is tax included in price?

Website shows tax included (tax would be ~$67 @7.5%) so if its either or -- I'd rather pay shipping -- Unless they both should be included.
