Guys-
Just a quick update...I have finally arm-wrestled two modules from the manufacturer to start building the headlights ( I have them now)...the new modules are expected to be in inventory in the US shortly. I also have two complete C5 popups on their way here for fitting. I can't give any more estimates at this point. Thanks for your patience.

Guys-
This week and next, we (myself and the MFR), are tied up on getting the final molds finished for the Caprice and ImpalaSS lights done. We are concentrating on meeting this deadline so we can begin building the C5's pop up units. Based on our progress this week, it's likely we will begin mold/design work in the next few weeks. As always if you have any questions, let me know.

Just a quick update. We have finished our prior project and are beginning to focus the c5. We are still waiting delivery info on the projectors in the USA.
Here some pictures of our product for the SS/Caprice. Just an indication of what we can do-

Is this your targeted customer?
There are multiple markets within the B-Body platform...I will reply to you offline.

Just a quick update-
I met with my MFR to discuss the design and engineering of the pop-up projector halogen/HID kit. We also discussed the non pup/fixed units and by next week I will have an estimate to build and engineer these for a prototype build before year end. FYI, The pop design would be based on exposed projectors with a custom bezel available in matching body color, and other assorted colors.
I will only be updated this post and the other post I started in the General section from here forward. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.
