Okay guys, Brian is sending me your information as far as shipping goes and everything but just to have some redundancy if you were part of this group purchase/mod please pm/email me shipping address, whether you paid Brian for the mod or are waiting to pay me, and also the type of shipping you desire, standard "which will be either fedex or UPS" or if you want expedited such as overnight service which will cost extra. Please get back to me as soon as possible as I should have most of the sets finished today and ready to go in the mail as soon as payment is received. Thanks again, and hope to hear from all of you soon.

Jon

Jon has everyone's info and we are rolling along, will most likely start a new thread as round 2 for new people to show what round 1 people are getting.

Brian

PS: I gotta give Jon ALOT of credit for taking on all this soldering work, I know I had just about enough patience when I did mine, plus my wife would kill me if I spent more time in the garage....

5 sets finished leaving right now to go ship 3 of them out, should finish the rest of the sets this afternoon then as people pay they will ship out. Pics of the process and my "cleaner" wiring are on the way from Brian here soon as well.

Jon

OH yeah... I have told several people already but I will say it again, when you get your lights, if you plug them in and they do not light up, DO NOT PANIC.... turn around the little plugin and try again. Polarity is now an issue with these so just be mindfull of that.

Got all the sets done but 1, saving it for tomorrow. If I drank and did this I might forget to do half of the leds and end up with a half moon tail light instead of a halo hahahaha.

I thought the hard part of this was just getting the lights. I've been to 5 stores so far and cannot get all the damn resistors.

Thank you Brian and Jon. I got my modded lights today (special thanks to Jon for overnighting them at my request) and installed them immediately. I think I had one done before the FedEx guy got to the end of the street.

They look amazing people, way better than the pictures can even suggest.
