UPDATE 3/2/2017
This morning we received an update from the factory production run start. The eagle eye'd among you will notice some interesting picture details of course.
The production is proceeding as quickly as possible. While the whole production quantity will be completed this weekend, we are getting only 4 Cartons (8 unit pairs per carton) shipped on Monday by AIR to us. That represents only 32 units. Currently, the first folks in September, October, and some in November will be taken care of as well as two local installs will be done. We have 3 headlights waiting for the work, so will keep you posted.
Finally, we expect to have the majority of the units to cover everyone's pre-orders by roughly end of March after the initial batch units, but depending on "need" we may air ship another 32 units shortly thereafter.

Thanks for everyone's confidence, support, and faith in the project. We're almost there.

Due to the tremendous response, conservatively, end of March.
Best case, March 20th or thereabouts, worst case April 7th-10th.
We really don't want to be air shipping many sets, the costs will skyrocket.
So it will be boat.

UPDATE 3/6/17
Today, the factory began loading all the preliminary 32 air shipped units and the remaining other units we have into the truck to be taken to the final check point for shipping (the shipping broker).
From there, we expect the 32 air shipments to be sent by no later than Wednesday (possibly tomorrow) after final QA/packaging into larger shipping units.
We will post updates on delivery times as soon as they are available.
Here are the photos of the packaging...we are moving as quickly as we can.
We will have enough to not only accommodate the FULL pre-order list of people that have pre-paid, but many more after that. However, we will raise the price to $349 once those final units land here...so if you are considering pre-ordering, now is the time to save a little moola.
Thanks once again for everyone's confidence, support, and faith!!!

The photos you quoted above are linked here:

The price of shipping is calculated at check out based on your address and that price is today's price. Once they land, we'll change the price.
Made it a little easier here if you are on a phone doing this:

I also picked up a set. Looking to redo my lights soon. Seems like quite a bit of work went into this. As an Engineer I appreciate all of the time, design and tolerances that goes into something like this. Good work!

From our research, the dealer network still has a significant supply of gaskets at relatively reasonable prices, but the seal we sell - it's called Butyl (search term on our site)...
or you can just order it here:

UPDATE 3/8/2017
We are only able to get 16 units - 32 pieces - shipped here by DHL, (not 32 units/64 pieces). The cost to ship even those 16 units is prohibitively expensive - over $900 by AIR, if we raised the shipment to even 32 total units it's $1800 and $2800 DHL if you do 48 pairs.
That's over $58 per unit pair to ship by air. That's too much...however, our sea shipment comes out to barely .05 per unit pair, so...yeah, sea it is.
Because of the favorable sea shipping rate we're getting, we are brokering the shipment through a 3rd party. This may delay delivery by a week, but it will keep costs reasonable for shipping.
Why is this important?
It will allow us to keep prices reasonable.
So here is further proof that this isn't vaporwear...also, we're purposely not showing how many total units we're shipping.
