Sick HIDs

This is one of my first posts here , I do know there is a thread here regarding this company.
I am thinking about getting his mods.
I sent an email, he responded very quickly.he said he could have lights made and shipped in 6_8 Weeks.
Besides the one guy has any one actually seen a completed set?
How long have you been waiting?
Any updates?
He has been responding to my questions with in the hour

Cheers

Welcome.
Liking the name .


I sent an email about a week ago , he has yet to respond.
Usually takes a week or two to to get a response. I always thought it was because he was busy . It usually takes him a few days to respond on facebook too.

If he is still giving 8 week completion times he is full of **** with a capital s .

I paid march 15th or so in 2011.

I am coming up to a year now , I have not lost faith. Mostly because I really want my lights . I don't want to make him mad and end up with a refund or a stock pair of 2011 lamps .

I won't bad mouth him , he is still making product , just not ours for some reason.
I would strongly recommend you get the straight poop from him on the time line.
As a Canadian your season is limited enough with out being without your lights.

If he can give you straight answers I would say send your lights at the end of the season.

best of luck

Norm

Maybe he is good at what he does but I remember a few posting up other than dieselgeek that have been waiting some time for theirs.
I would not send someone my headlights for 6-8 weeks and the sounds of it that would be a god send

Pretty disappointing he's still quoting that time. Unless I'm
Missing something that's near a bald faced lie.
Id ask why he's quoting that if it's clearly not true and see what he tells you. Other than that I'd recommend waiting until he's caught up and he is actually completing orders.

In my part of the world, we have name for guys like him who make promises and take your money knowing they can't deliver. They're called "a**holes."

I miss typed his time estimate , he quoted 8-12 Weeks.
I think I am going to write him again, maybe link this thread to him.
What do you think of that?
Judging by the responses here, no one has had a delivery? Apart from the very first guy?
That is really disappointing:-(

I guess we will have to see how he responds to my next note.
Thanks for the info,
Cheers

You CAN post the link but you might not get a response.
He is better at responding to new inquiries than he is upset customers. U get responses in an hour as a potential customer. The guys on here that want progress reports don't hear back for far longer.
If you did raise this thread as an issue he may be honest or simply tune you out like others here.
I'd be interested to hear what he had to say tho.

Where is he located? I've been watching these threads because the lights look like a good idea.

I'll email him.

Is this his site?
