The way the system is setup, it charge right away.
The reason for this, is to help offset some of the startup costs.

I wish mine and Matt's camera could capture the DDE's true beauty - like I said, they are so much more brilliant and clear in real life. I would recommend this mod to anyone looking to spice up their lights.

GA - we have one team of guys, I'd recommend DIY there, I've not seen their work.

MD - Abingdon -

The installers determine it, anywhere from $100 to $200.

I think these look awesome, but what is the visual difference (if any) between these and the previous ones you have on your website? Where the ones before brighter? Different colors? Also, how/what do the wires tap into?

So, here are the interesting parts of this product versus the other products that have since been popping up.

1) This is at least 10X as bright as LEDs
2) This is at least 2X as bright during daytime operation than our fiber optic kit, BUT it's only due to color.
3) There is NOTHING, repeat, NOTHING on the market, especially with YOUR headlights, that allows you to STILL see these when your headlights are on.

Um, really, truly, truly, there IS NO WIRING.
Here are the TWO steps you have to know:

~limsandy
MTBF = rougly 15000-30000 hours.
$149 for what LithuiMax has RIGHT NOW. THEY WORK, we tested them, that's it. They are ready to go, just have to have them delivered, as with most businesses, it's a 15 business day turn around.

I know you guys are shy because someone ran off with your money, we simply DON'T DO THAT!!!

This is a no risk to you, we're not even requiring deposits, you buy it, you get it 15 days later. That's it.

After that, Jan 1st, it's $179. That's it. This is intro pricing. Save $30

Actually, if you like, we have 2 people very capable of doing that, it would cost you no effort just shipping back and forth + installation.

Your headlight removal is perhaps the easiest in all of cardom - as you guys are well aware.

Install would be $100-150.

Personally, I'm expensive @ $175, because I know my stuff

How come the left one looks brighter than the right one?

I am really thinking of getting these... also is there a way you can have them on individualy? I want to have my lights on and the hight beam ring on without the other one messing the light pattern.

Thanks

and for those who are afraid of opening the headlights is not hard just make sure you seal them if you want to be really sure put some silicone just to make sure.

Not sure about the brightness difference - they look 99.9% the same to me.

Matt can answer the other questions for you.

EDIT: I see what you are referring to (the 2 rings in one headlight, not a headlight to headlight comparison). The reason for the slight difference is because that picture was taken almost as soon as the DDE's were turned on, and they hadn't warmed up all the way yet.
