Mine were waiting for me at home last night as well. They look pretty good overall. I picked up new gaskets at the dealership this morning. Paid $61 a piece. The list price is $61.17 so not saving a whole bunch, but there are only two GM warehouses in the country that have them so that supply is pretty low.

And a few others I can't recall at this moment. Shipments internationally will likely take 4-10 business days but customs may have something to say about the overall time to get to you. I would normally say watch your tracking number if you are international but USPS is notoriously **** poor about tracking until it actually lands in the destination country.

Another roughly 40 or so units were shipped last night + some wholesale packages for customers order more than 1.
To be honest, this is far more work than we anticipated so while you may get your label notification, please bear with us because some people ordered multiple options with their orders (Butyl, D1S Bulbs, clear film, angel eyes, etc.) so that is taking longer to fulfill.
We really had hoped to have everyone caught up by this Saturday but realistically we'll be shipping well into next week to catch up.
Another order is in at the factory, the batch will be completed in 3-7 business days and shipping will likely be scheduled for the next batch May 3rd or thereabouts...though April 26th is what we're shooting for.
WARNING - SALES PITCH
If you are concerned about getting your lenses and have not yet ordered, don't worry, we'll be building lenses as fast as we can. Get your orders in now so we can build them faster
As you have noticed, we've not yet raised prices because frankly we're not yet done shipping the current batch of units. So "Make your C6 Headlights great again! "

we call from 877 or 925
A couple of updates.
1) We've secured genuine factory gaskets as well, $105 a pair shipped, but working on getting better pricing if we do 50+ units (which we're not yet sure are necessary).
2) We definitely did not realize how many March orders we got, so we'll have to break up March into 2 nights of shipping. That means April will probably also be broken down into 2 nights of shipping so we expect to have EVERYONE shipped by Friday or Saturday of this week.

I placed my order during the third week of March. I haven't received any kind of a place/confirmation number, though the money has transferred out of paypal. And I still show no orders pending on the website. So I have no clue what or when to expect. Glad others have received their lenses. Just getting anxious for mine!

Got my tracking number...
As soon as I get my lenses they go into parts storage for when I need them.. Didn't want to take a chance they would stop making them again...

Don't rely on an accurate status from the tracking number per Note #3 on the description page, I received my tracking number Sunday & according to USPS tracking number my lenses have not even left California yet (Tues. night) to be shipped to Arizona, so I don't know really where they are...

A bit of a related topic to the lenses; would you recommend replacing the turn signal/DRL bulbs or even the HID lights while doing a lens replacement on a 10 year old car? I'm still on all original bulbs in my car except for one tail light. I don't have any complaints with their current performance but I'm sure it is only a matter of time before something goes out.

Yes....Got my lenses today ! ordered mid Feb. was #128 received tracking # last Sunday, I have them sealed up & clamped sitting outside so the adhesive sets up & then I will install them back into my car tomorrow morn. then move on to the next mod ..

But it's a necessary evil because what other service can ship a set of lenses for $12 across the country on Saturday night and have them delivered on Monday morning?
My car is an 07 and my seals have looked cracked and dry rot since about 2010. The car sits in the Texas sun at least 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, lol. At that time either, I didn't have an enclosed garage, just covered parking. It is only a matter of time before UV exposure kills them, even with protection. That will likely be the next thing the aftermarket needs to make.

We have shipped "another shipment" - and we still have 4-5 to go. We have a process, we make the labels and then start the packaging process. Whatever "fits" into the delivery vehicles goes, if it doesn't fit, it goes into the next day's shipment. So as some have accurately pointed out, the tracking number isn't perfect but it's reasonably accurate within a day or 2, and from there it's not uncommon for the tracking number to show nothing but the part to be sitting on your porch waiting for you.

We'll probably finish March today, it was a very busy month....basically when we showed people that the air shipment wasn't vaporware, it gave people enough confidence that this was a legitimate project
Boo was hoping you'd install them right away
how about now?
it's a delivery confirmation number, you are correct, basically it only shows when it's delivered in most cases.
But it's a necessary evil because what other service can ship a set of lenses for $12 across the country on Saturday night and have them delivered on Monday morning?
I recommend replacing the turn signals with LED lights, we're going to show you guys some great light bulbs later this month once we finish the shipping process. They will knock your socks off - literally. You'll see quicker start, brighter and wider light, and infinite lifespans.

The canbus ones we're working on may be able to be plugged in.
The standard style ones will require a resistor or basic coding on the car.
In the BMW/VW/Mercedes world, if you have software that interacts with the OBDII port interface, you can disable warm, cold, and start up checks for turn signals, brake lights, etc and thus disable any error or fast flashing from occurring, so you won't need to use resistors. But not sure about Corvettes yet, assuming you do have something similar but will need to do more research to find out.
In either case, a simple resistor across the power and ground works fine and is inexpensive at $10-20 for the pair. The effect is phenomenally different and better.

WE STILL HAVE PLENTY OF STOCK!
Another shipment, I believe we have finished through March, we're going to finish much of April today or thereabouts then we'll start shipping on order. At that point, we'll announce on a second, new thread that the installation opportunities are open.
