On his June 18/15 post Radio Flyer said he had 27 confirmed orders and there indeed are still some to be had. Hopefully you can still get yours.

I ordered mine and I am looking forward to getting them. Has to be a huge improvement over the stock system.

George, can you confirm please, and is the ship schedule still on target? I'm trying to make a decision on headlights. Thank you.

Top-shelf products demand top-shelf prices. The easiest and fastest way to improve your factory lighting is with our HI-4 harness (see link below)

If you decide later to upgrade to our bi-xenon kit, we can give you a credit for the Hi-4 harness you already have

We are still in MI. We are doing well, enjoying the full spectrum of weather.

George, how many slots you have left? This is something I've needed for awhile.

Thanks, Tom M.

Finally got mine installed that I had ordered from George last winter. I love 'em! They make my 17-year old car look like it's back in the 21st Century.

$650 for headlights? Is that correct? That Corvette tax is really kicking in on these.

So when this batch is sold, you will no longer be producing projectors for pop-ups at all?

Negative, I just confirmed with the supplier that we can start a second batch. Given the popularity of these lights (35 sets sold in the pre sale so far) We anticipate we will sell out the entire production run by the end of the year. As a result we will start a new production run when the inventory of the current batch is down to about 20 units. (we may start sooner if sales are higher than projected) Production time will be the same as with the current batch....about 3 months.

I think corvette owners are starting to realize that most of the cheaper stuff they see for sale may look good on their screens, but isn't nearly as nice or effective in a real-world application. We are happy to provide the finest headlight solutions available for the C5.

You should see what the factory headlight assembly is selling for these days. GM stopped making the replacement parts for the flip up housing so a good quality with covers can go for $800

They're great. So much better than the stock headlights. I've always believed that you get what you pay for.

In this case it is very true. I have had several customers spend more than the cost of our headlights trying NOT to buy our headlights. Here's a rough breakdown of one customer's lighting adventures:

Silverstar bulbs: $35
HID kit: $80
HID high beam: $80
PIAA 1100 fog lights: $50
Ebay "depo" type headlights: $300
Breathless performance auxiliary lighting system: $560 + paint costs

Over $1100 spent total and only had marginal lighting.

Our headlight kits perform on a level far beyond any currently available. We have sold dozens if not over a hundred kits since we started operations in late 2008. Customers keep coming to us because we provide what the competition doesn't. We understand that our products are more expensive than the alternatives, but that's the same reason you chose to drive a c5 corvette over a c4.
