I keep checking this thread even though I know we're still weeks out... it's like I'm waiting for Christmas or something. Way to make me feel like a 5-year-old, SBG!

We are still taking orders, since we expanded the production run. However preorders are filling up fast, so if you want to get in on this production, act quickly!

Are we gonna see this by the end of the month? I thought group buy closed a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully there won't be more delays trying to wait for other people.

We've already started production. The larger batch size means it will take us longer to complete the orders, but we are not planning on delaying and waiting for additional customers. Actually, we'll need to close the preorders soon, we don't have an unlimited supply of components.

That's still our goal although I can say at this point we're further behind the milestones I was hoping to be at with this stage... but we are cranking. I'll post some pictures next week but we're in the middle of installing the projectors into the housings and aiming. It's a long process and multiplied out through all the lights we're doing at the same time things can move slower than planned but we're clipping along at a good pace. So the answer is, we're trying but that date could get pushed back, and there's still a fair amount of work left to do.

Would love to see this in March. Waiting on other parts the oil pedestal and the door grip though. I suppose they will ship with the lights? Door grip order last week and the oil pedestal back in January.

Good morning Heath, driving to work this morning reminded me how poor the stock lights are so I was wondering if you guys are getting close to shipping these. Any updates on this particular group buy? I am eager to be able to see at night!
Thanks!

Our Business center got shut down last week, for ADA compliance work, which was a massive pain in the ***. We're doing our best to get everything completed, but we probably will miss getting these out this week unfortunately. Expect shipping emails in 2 weeks or so.

We're sorry about this, but wanted to give everyone who's keeping an eye on here a heads up. Unfortunately it wasn't a situation we could control. We will get everyone's kits out as fast as we can. Thank you for your patience, we'll have some good news for everyone soon!

i understand stuff comes up but i jumped on this group buy cause i thought i could get them in plenty of time for Deals Gap Rotary Rally.

What happened to the 3 wk turn around on 1/27? I also jumped on this group by early because i thought there was limited supply of 12...

Hoping to see a good update on shipment soon.

I have not received not just this order but two other items that haven't shipped yet and fully paid for. Why is that?

Is there any risk of any customers not receiving what they have paid for?

These HID headlight kits are hand crafted by the gentlemen at Sakebomb Garage. I have purchased a few items from them and their products are top notch even down to the packaging. They have a special attention to detail and the wait is always worth it. The group buy that originally started out as a few kits blossomed into likely double the anticipated amount. Super jelly I couldn't scrounge up the funds for these personally. I'll definitely be around for the next go around however. They're a busy company.

I hope so, I have sent them multiple emails about other items I have ordered, oil pedestal and the passenger door grip. Oil pedestal ordered back in January, door grip back late Feb or early March. Haven't heard a thing back. Thanks for chiming it, it does give me a little relief actually.

Have to chime in as well, having purchased and also gotten some excellent help on install from Heath I have no reservations on orders from them. Predicting when things will happen, I'm guilty of being overly optimistic on delivery myself. Not from lack of effort just contingent on too many this needs to happen then that can happen so delays gets added to rather than subtract. Also it is not great to be under pressure for a group purchase, can take away from the willingness to make the effort to make it happen in the future. For me as long as they are trying and my memory is short once I have this installed and can enjoy seeing in the dark. Am sure most do understand this but it always helps to remind oneself of the true good guys. Do understand also that assurances are sometimes needed having waited for lots of parts, builds and having been burned upon occasion thus my rant.

I am excited about this purchase, I may just be able to drive down that unlit country road, was getting an early start on a road trip, that last time I pulled over to wait for daylight, lol!!
