One thing to keep in mind is that if he is selling the sequential sets, they have about a 1 second delay between hitting the brakes and them lighting up.

To make up for this, since the headlights were advertised as having the changes made, we are sending out the harnesses to give the correct functionality. Per a discussion earlier this week, it is rumored that the "Gen 2" harnesses (crazy, right?) will enable flash to pass and will be available in 2-4 weeks.
Side note, the next shipment of headlights (and all from here on out) is said to have the changes made to eliminate the amber DRL. The flash-to-pass has not been internally changed yet but we are now aware of a quick and easy pigtail fix to enable it (jump the low beam on with a one-way rectifier).
To clarify a bit on why the flash-to-pass is not working, this is due to the stock lights (and factory wiring) using a low beam bulb/wire and a high beam bulb/wire. These lights were separate in the stock units so no jumping power was necessary here.
These headlights feature a Bi-LED headlight meaning that the one projector housing does both low beam and high beam. This means that now the low beam wire turns on the headlight and that now the high beam wire moves the cutoff shield (this allows the projector to be fully utilized and output light higher opposed to cutting it off to avoid blinding oncoming traffic). When the high beams are switched, the shield moves but nothing jumps the headlight bulb on. To correct this, it's a surprisingly easy fix of adding a one way rectifier jumper wire from the high beam to the low beam wire. This jumps the headlight on as soon as the cutoff shield is powered (actually emitting light and moving the shield) and it prevents power from flowing from the low beam wire to the high beam wire.

Will PM pricing to those interested that have not heard from me yet in just a few minutes.
Just an inventory update - we currently have 6 sets on hand as of posting this message. They move quickly though so we will likely be out of on hand sets in just a couple of days tops.

Seems UPS knows us on a first name basis now 
With approximately 500 sets sold and delivered, we are the industry leader for these clean, bright, aggressive looking headlights! Shoot over a PM if interested in a set. We have upped the quantity we keep on hand in an effort to keep wait times down.
These sets are the 2nd gen XB-2 Headlights with the updated DRL wiring.

I watched the video, but would love to see a real world illumination test. Although they are really well focused, the bleed from the factory lights seems to light up a little more above the focus line. So they are brighter, but less light is above the focus line. Any pics of a car shining them on a wall at night for comparison. I love the way they look, but would love to see what I am going to be seeing from my seat if I drop the $$.
