I am kind of expecting those suckers to already be in the mail.... BTW, when I do recieve them, posting about it will be the second thing on my mind. Those suckers are going in ASAP!!!!!! My old max had clears, and this one is just driving me crazy without them...

do you guys know if hyper white bulbs are legal inside the clear corners? I have new polarg superwhite bulbs waiting to be put in the clearance lights, and the clear corners (1156's and 194's) amd cops tend to be *******s in my town especially to young kids. Thanks,

Mike

Your bulbs have to still flash orange for your lights to be legal. However, on my old ones I had them flash white, and never had any issues. I just didn't use my blinker if a cop was in front of me LOL

although they'd still flash orange, how about putting in orange leds so at least the clear corners don't have the bit of orange from the orange painted bulbs when the blinkers are off. anyone tried this?

I think somebody painted the orange bulbs with translucent white paint, they looked white but brightness was not affected much. I am to lazy to search now. I think they may sell white bulbs that blink orange. I don't think the small hint of orange through the lens will bother me.

HA!!! I thought I was the only one who thought about this!! I HATE that hint of orange - especially now with my diamond clears. I really want to blink orange but I don't want to see any orange while they're off. I think I am just going to have to blink clear.

i saw amber leds by apc at pepboys - its said amber on the package but looked clear on the outside, so maybe this would work. i'll prob decide after i actually see the diamond cuts on my car with the regular orange bulbs before trying.

if the cop is **** enough he can give you a ticket for failing to signal which is a moving violation. It's better to blink it and get an equipment violation IMO.

Good news everyone, I got a phone call from my supplier in California a few days ago, he said that all the diamond cut bumper lights have arrived. There is 1000 sets that arrived in the US from Japan and all are coming to me. All of you that are waiting for your sets will have them soon. Their is a huge truck that is in transit right now delivering all of them to me. The day after I receive them, they will be shipped out to everyone that is waiting. Currently their is over 600 people that are waiting for them, and some people have been waiting as long as early September. The delay was because the manufacturer had to redesign the mould because of water leaking problems. That took several months then once they arrived in the US they sat in customs for about 6 weeks.
Thanks for all your patience,
Greg

was this the same ship/truck that had the 95/96 red/clear tails? or did that ship sink?
BTW last i checked these are NOT made in Japan...unless something has changed significantly on clear corners.

Japan????? I figured that they were made in Japan, but guess not. I just inquired about their place or origin and you are right it is not in Japan, it is actually Taiwan. Also found out some more info on why they were held in customs so long. It is a long story but in a nut shell they were not in customs for 3 weeks as I was originally told, they were actually their for 7 weeks. Sheesh. Yes they are on their way to me. No you guys are not getting ripped off. Thanks for your patience, to be honest with you I cannot wait for this bumper light nightmare to be over.

I was told this week by my supplier and the trucking company called me and said i should have it the beginning of next week. Seems like these days if you want anything done right you have to do it yourself...right?

All of them will be shipped out UPS ground. If you want it quicker I can quote you on next day or 2 day air. It is only worth it if you are on the west coast which generally takes 4-5 business days. East coast guys should save your money and stick with ground cause you will have it in 1-2 business days.

Works for me since I am on the east Will you be posting here again when everything is shipped out just to let us know? I know this must have been a horrible deal for you on your side as far as the e-mails, complaints and talking to the suppliers.
