If you ordered the raptor kit, I think there is a wait for some reason. The manufacturer talks about them here: .

Ok, after some prodding to get the shipping to individual addresses ready:
So there you go. These are good kits, I'm 100% satisfied with them, and have nothing to gain from any of this. Let me know. I'm going to take some pics "as installed" right now, post soon.
Dear Mara,
How are you these days ?
My friend,I am glad to hear from you again.Thanks for all your information.I see now .
Now my friend,let me answer to you as below :
edit: Shipping to different addresses, it's a flat $98 to per kit. Not a bad deal, but it's basically more a "mention this ad" kinda thing.
Ok Mara,when you are sure the bulbs size ,color and quantity,please tell us to confirm ,maybe will have little adjustable about the price .Anything ,please feel free to contact us ,we will try our best to support you !
Best regards!
Yours:Feng

I saw an eclipse last night with the ugliest HID's ive ever seen. Well i am not totally sure they really were HID, but they were like a deep purple and barely lit up the road. I flashed him because i figured they were just driving lights until i got closer and saw that they were the headlights. Some people are just simply retarded.

Asked for a link, the problem is it's hard for me to find from my history because I talked to ~15 people last time. :-) I'll wait till he gets back to me.
How about a ticket for improperly adjusted headlights? Why go after the wrong people? HID isn't the problem, I've been blinded by many a halogen truck.
OMG I hate those. You seriously feel bad for the people, but not as bad as you feel for the people who get run over by them

I think I'm going to get 2-3 sets: Father's car, brother in law's car, maybe father's motorcycle.... :-)
Again, I have nothing to gain, but these are decent kits. If you're interested let me know, I'll make sure things work out with "Carlos".

ABEFM yea the pictures will be nice of the kit installed on your car also do some night shots from the inside out, of high and low beam so we can see the change. i already have e codes so all i want to see is how much brights the hids will look and if they cover more ground.

Probably won't do a halogen vs HID picture, though actually, I guess it would be very easy to do... Ok, I'll think about it. Pics as installed I'll take - I thought I had some but couldn't find them
