I received the email saying that my order shipped, but it did not include a tracking number.

May I please have the tracking info so I know when to expect the package? It would kill me to have this stolen off my front porch.

Just received an email with my tracking number. Check your emails again, I'm pretty sure they resent another email w/ tracking number out.

Hi SBG,

Shoot me a PM with my amount outstanding that I owe plus the cost of shipping to Toronto and I'll pay that off now if you're in the process of shipping everything.

Thanks!

-Geoff

Installed this afternoon. Would rate the product 9/10. When transferring the metal clip for the spring on the headlight, the sakebomb headlight with the thread for the screw just crumbled/shattered so I had to jb weld the screw back inside the sakebomb headlight. I'm just happy that I can see at night again.

Unfortunately the headlight material that the clips are screwed into is pretty bad, and can get over tightened quite easily. JB Weld around the entire body will lock it in place. It's just the nature of the housings we start out with unfortunately... they're kinda delicate with over-torquing that lower screw.

I'm happy to see that you got them installed however and they look great. I think you could come up a little on the aiming if you want. Is your car lowered further than stock? The lower the car the more upwards aiming you can give them. Basically you dont want the top of the cutoff shining in the eyes of oncoming drivers when going uphill with low beams on and a low oncoming car (the worst case scenario). The aiming guide is a conservative DOT aiming guide... it's a starting point, adjust as necessary but it looks like you can squeeze a little more performance out of the lights if you raise them a bit Looks great though! Enjoy

My car is definitely low but not hella flush slammed or anything. I lowered the driver side a bit more as not to blind oncoming traffic on 2-lane highways. I'm still working on the final aiming but overall happy with the product. The high beam feature is the ****. I can't believe these pretty much light 4 lane highways with ease. I'm eager to see how they perform in the rain.

Take a few on-road pics if you can . Honestly, with my own car every time I get in I'm still thrilled when I flip the headlights up (even after years of running them now). It's one of those things you really have to experience in person to understand the benefit. I enjoy driving at night where before it was always a crapshoot as was was coming up in the road (or off to the side of the road) . They modernize the car more than anyone would assume headlights could.

I will be on the next groupbuy. If not I'll purchase them individually.. It's on my list to do things.
Do we have an ETA on when the next groupbuy will be???

Love the lights!!

Has anybody else had an issue with one of the bulbs not coming on? I installed my kit per the instructions and the Driver's side light doesn't always come on. It just flickers. I have to keep turning it off and on to get it to come on. I tried to contact SakeBomb using their website, but it keeps giving me errors. Any suggestions?

All of our contact methods (email, facebook, web, etc) are listed on the stickers on the box and on your instruction sheet. We get emails daily from customers on the website so I'm not sure what's going on with the online contact page. You can always send a direct email to the address listed.

I'll shoot you a PM now to help try to diagnose what's going on with your setup. If there is a fault or defect it's under warranty and we'll replace any defective components for you.

They're only available during group buys. The problem with these headlights is the time it takes to make them. They take many many many hours to construct for each set, and as a result we can never keep up with customer demand. We always hoped to be able to make these available as a standard retail product on the website but we typically sell out (even if we make more than the requested GB amount) before we can generate any inventory to list on the site. The standard pricing is $975.

If you guys want to start another list you're welcome to get that going, but these lights are pretty tricky for us. Since our time is limited and we have many other products we are working on prototyping and producing (and all the overhead associated with packing/shipping/etc etc) it's hard to carve out enough time to set aside to build these.

While we don't want to turn anyone away, we also need to be careful to leave ourselves enough time to keep working on other products for the FD. We appreciate the positive reviews of these lights and have sold over 200 sets to date. If you guys want to start another list you can post a TENTATIVE list below and we can put it in motion when things slow down and we have time to build them.

TENTATIVE GB LIST:

3.
