Dimming is possible.
You can wire them to a switch if you wanted to, our wiring harness makes it a snap.

We hope to have the parts tomorrow, customs refused to act faster than a snail in winter today. So we'll hope to have the parts delivered to us by tomorrow and begin shipping on Wednesday.

As far as PMs, no, we don't do PMs.

We will notify each participant via email - the install guide will be completed some time between the time we receive these and the time they ship.

Please expect to only be able to download it at first.

I know this sounds like a stupid question but here goes...

Are these modifications to the headlight going to make them illegal. In other words, could I be given a ticket for the DDE lights or could I fail an annual safety inspection?

If so, I guess the solution is to put a hidden switch somewhere and just turn them off.

Right, switch to turn them off.

Well guys good news and bad news:

1) Customs cleared it this morning
2) Drivers (all 3 that we had allocated) can't deliver til tomorrow.
a) one truck is down
b) no same day service
c) it's the holidays and no one wants to work
3) Personally can't drive today to get them.

So, we're going to do this:
- pay a driver extra if he is willing to do the driving today
or
- just accept the shipment tomorrow @ 12pm, and get cracking.

Keep in mind, this is the day before New Year's. Our employees need lives too. The fact that we have none is frankly irrelevant

Just keeping you all in the loop. It appears to be that we will lose 24 hours.

I hate the holidays! Everyone's a lazy ***

the bees are busy right now, I expect to mail out tracking numbers to all of you.

Please be aware, the documentation is 60% complete but will be completed tonight and will be downloadable by Friday after some proofing.

To those of you that "have to have it by this weekend" and have not paid for 2 day delivery, you are welcome to do so.

$25 extra for 2 day - 3lb FedEx.

Good News Bad News:

FedEx didn't pick up today, so Friday is the first day that Fedex will be working. We have a 9:00am pickup.

Second bad news, we only got 13 tracking numbers done today, the rest of them will follow tomorrow.

Good News? ALL shipments will go out on Friday.

Fedex is operating tomorrow. If he ships it out 2nd day air, you wont get it till next week. It would cost more money for Saturday/ overnight delivery. Fedex didnt work 31st or today.

BTW, most of those tracking numbers reflect ground shipping, which will take longer.
