    Gents, I successfully mailed 15/18 packages today. The last 3 to go asap!

    I will try to PM you your tracking numbers tomorrow.
    I am on a good start to this week with no tardies at work probably due to better sleep hours. I would send the numbers now but I am tired as hell and this receipt, which has your tracking numbers on it, has the strangest unappealing look to it.... haha...

    Thanks again fellas and PLEASE let me know how they work for you!
    Do remember that the mounting hole for the switch used in the how-to video has not worked for any of the current recipients this far, however, it CAN work if you somehow wedge it in and angle it inward.
    I don't suggest trying that, but instead you should drill a NEW hole just to the left of the former hole, closer toward the engine so it doesn't catch on that little slanted lip of the hood.



    P.S. Here's a little teaser: I'm probably not going to do a sign up list again but instead just make a bunch of kits and put them up for sale in a thread once they're done. Then the first people to pay will have it.
    I'm gonna aim for 50 kits on this next one.....

    Too much to list, but enough to get me in trouble. Repeatedly.

    I think I remember how I got the switch in that hole. Try using a rat-tail file and open it up just enough to get the switch in.
    Recently, I experimented with angling the switch. Here's what worked well for me: once the switch is mounted tightly (nuts are tightened), slip an 11mm deep-well 3/8"-drive socket over the switch, connect a ratchet or bar, and gently pry the mounted switch toward the motor.

    No need for my tracking number Brad, once it leaves the states to make a trip acrossed the ocean it doesn't track it anyways. My dad shipped my tv and xbox had a tracking number, waited 3 months for it. The post office couldn't track it down and one day it just showed up. You can pm me though letting me know its shipped if you don't mind.

    Hey hey hey fellas easy now If you've already gotten a kit from me I told you, you're getting a sticker :cool:
    I am being lazy though and haven't looked at the list of already sent and started getting together envelopes lol.
    In the spirit of saving a few decals (because now they cost me monay's!) just PM me and I'll add your name to my list to send out :) (you have to have been one of the first batch though)
    All you gotta say is like "decal" or something , I've already got your address!
    I'll write it on my arm to remind me to get a bunch of envelopes with stamps tomorrow.
    Believe me I would feel honored for you guys to rock these stickers!
    I didn't think a decal representing a small, one man, unofficial hood lighting kit company would be big enough of a deal to rock a sticker on your truck so I tried to come up with something that anyone proud of their lighting would want to have anyway.
    For me, I would rock an "Anti-Dark" sticker regardless of what company it may represent just because I feel like it gives me some kind of entitlement to putting more and more lights on my truck. :rofl:


    OK so enough rambling.
    I am sending out PM's with tracking numbers now. Most of you will get them tomorrow or monday.

    My future plans for these kits are, thanks to advice from RamonOrtiz, to make a bunch of kits and once they are ready, put up a for sale thread. No pressure to get them done in a certain amount of time or anything, which is a huge load off my back.

    You guys just about to get your kits please holla and let me know how they work for you! We're still kind of in the testing stage here.

    One more thing, once again, I really can't thank you all enough for your support and patience through this whole thing. It really has been a lot of fun for me to do this because I like helping people and making them happy. Seeing how stoked you guys get on receiving your kits and getting a small bit of money back is all I need man.

    I've got some ideas floating around for the bed lights and I plan to start R&D after the next batch of kits. With what I know about LED's, I plan on putting together a setup of something I've never seen anyone do before. If all goes well you guys are gonna love this shit. It will be functional, optimal, cheap, and unique.
    We'll see how things go.
