    All in all, the lights look nice, although I haven't connected them yet. The covers fit really nice and tight (almost tought to take off), and they are a nice, thick gauged wire. The hardware all looks real sturdy too.

    The guys were great about finding a method to ship me the 9" lights since they couldn't use the standard shipping everyone else used. Only cost me $25, and they kept me notified the whole way.

    There was one MINOR issue with the lights. On one of the spot lights, the bulb is pointing downward by a good amount. I'm sure it won't affect light output -- I'm just worried that the mounting doesn't look sturdy. I shook it around with my hands as much as I could to see if the bulb so much as shifted, but it did not. I'll be e-mailing the company to inform them of it, but I doubt it'll need replacing. You can see the difference in these next pictures.

    Yep.
    nice. I would def email them about it. You might just be able to take the face off and adjust the bulb yourself though. I got my 7's in this week, no issues. I also got my ARB recovery kit :D

    still waiting on my 5's though.

    ^^ Nice, bud.

    Yeah, I e-mailed them about it shortly after posting on here. I have no doubts the vendor will be cool about the whole situation.

    I e-mailed them asking for updates. If you're not proactive with it, I'm sure the vendor will probably not send you details on shipping since there were SO many orders.

    If you ask, though, he's awesome about keeping you in the loop. Even with the small issue I have on my lights, he's yet to respond to an e-mail in any more than 24 hours. Talk about a quick response and great customer service :)
