How about euro guys? Do you have a solution for them? Sending in lights from europe to have them converted and sending them back would be too expensive

Buy a USDM set located in the US. Set the delivery address to Tom's address.

Prob worth getting the sender to enclose a note for identification.

Thanks Tom for the hard work. The quality looks great. I can't try them out just yet as the car is in Orlando but I should be able if all goes as planned to fit them on the car on Saturday. I'll definitely take pics and video.

I think they are going to match the sleepy eye HID lighting great as well as the currently "secret" turn signal project I am working on

Wow, David. It pays to have influence . Can't wait to see some of the "first pics." Mine arrived today and Tom will be working them soon. It's interesting to see the connectors. Wasn't quite sure how he worked that out, but now it's crystal clear. Great job again Tom!

yes also keep in mind that after you plug the connectors into the stock harness (replacing the bulbs) you then plug/twist the connectors to lock them into the housings. this way everything is sealed up tight - just like stock!

The remaining e-mails have been sent which includes your balance owed as well as the address to ship your lights. I sent the email to the address associated with your paypal account.

If I can get away tomorrow I will go to Orlando and install them and snap some pics. Really want to see how they look.

Yes, it took me a minute to figure this out but I like the solution.

Well, it's going to be mid next week before I have pics. The body shop guys are behind - go figure - so there is no reason to drive the 2 hours to Orlando tomorrow. Supposed to pick up the car on Wednesday so hopefully that will be the day.

Sorry guys.

So has this been asked yet? - Do we need load resisters for the turn signals? Normally LED turn signals require the addition of a load resister to keep the lights from blinking fast.

See below:

my kit includes a set of Load Resistors that will fix the fast-flash problem.

the group buy should be online by tonight or tomorrow at the latest (hopefully!)
