Yes, some good not so good.
Ive got all the parts FINALLY for kit #1, which will go on my car while I sort out any bugs. One of which took a couple weeks. I also stared on getting the harnesses laid out.
The bad bad thing is I’ve had little time to work on my car... I was driving it Daily until during routine maintenance I found a couple valves way too tight - and I may need a full rebuild which is kind of depressing. It’s torn down now.
seeing couple bumps on this thread though gives me some motivation
I’ll do my best to get an update this weekend.

Made some progress... no ETA yet. I would work on it this weekend- but I'll be out of town, so probably no updates for a week or so. Was a lot of cutting for something that "almost" fits.

Cool!
Did some more work last night.. many dremel wheels sacrificed. Looks like the recommended projector location for this kit the projector will be under the radiator support rather than fore or aft.. This will give us enough clearance between the projector and the bumper cover without requiring cutting of the cover, while maximizing under hood room - the projectors won't protrude too far into the engine bay. This method will require the most cutting of the support, a small price to pay I think since this mod will require cuts no matter what.. OTOH, the installer would still have flexibility to change that up if so desired.
Updates in a week or so.. Too early for ETA since Kit #1 is still in progress. Don't want to ship anything that isn't half baked.

Thanks for the interest!
I’ve taken plenty of pics - they will be in the install guide.
Still wont be an ETA for a bit. Plan to make more progress this week, though.

So I've been testing kit #1 for a few days... Light output absolutely blows stock away - its on par with low beams on my Moss kit. They are tough to photograph, though.

Switchback halos for those haters. White parking, amber turn signal.

I'll be driving the car daily this week. If I like them - I'll probably sell this kit at a discount to get some feedback, then I'll be ready to make a "run" of them

Thanks to the interest here I started ordering the parts for 5 kits. Will probably be a couple weeks before I get everything in, depends on suppliers.
