    I'm phoning him tomorrow requesting priority shipping to my grandmas place in Washington, if he hasn't shipped them already. If he has, I want a tracking number, and to stay on the phone while I check location. If they're lost, he's sending me another pair, priority. If he can't send priority to here, he will send priority and pay duty/tax to be shipped to my home in Canada.

    He wants to play hardball, so be it. I've saved every e-mail to and from him...

    On a lighter note... I arrived at my grandmothers tonight, and unpackaged the one pair he sent me... though I wont know if they're the 3200s or 5000s until tomorrow. Look good though :)

    ANNNND my Wet Okoles too! :p

    Yep.
    FINALLY got everything mounted, wired and hooked up... These things bright as shit! :eek: Even though the GB has been a royal PITA, I am overall happy with the purchase, quality (besides the cheap ass ballast) and output. I'll take some pics in the am to post up.

    Nice man. I'm pretty excited to get mine hooked up... Don't know when I'll have em hooked up though. I will have them mounted soon, as I don't want to claim them at the border going home... shhh.


    Just spoke to Cody on the phone, he said that my other pair of lights shipped out this morning, and he will get me my tracking number in one hour. They better be here before I go home, or I wont have them for another couple months....


    Updates when I get em

    I thoiught my 55W Hellas 700s would be bright as hell but so far I'm not impressed. Maybe the 7 inch is to big, I don't know.

    Almost 10 hours after I spoke to him on the phone, 9 hours after he said I would have my tracking number..... nothing.

    Found him on Facebook and sent him a message on there about 5 hours ago, hoping that he'd get the notification on his phone or something, and remember (if he forgot)...

    No reply on Facebook. No e-mail.

    Calling again tomorrow morning if there isn't a tracking number sitting in my inbox. This is bullshit. Complete bullshit.

    That thing was like 100yrds away, im sure they woulda reached a little further.... the funny thing is, when i switch them on they are bright, but the longer i leave them on the brighter they get till about 10-15 seconds then they are consistant.

    I just drilled holes in the bumper and put some lock washers on the underside... the upside to doing it like that is it would be a bitch to steal it.

    you could definitely mount another one on top of the bar too. I can barely see the top of the bar when driving so i dont think it would obstruct to much vision.

    24 hours after he said I would have my tracking number.

    Just phoned him again, didn't get through the first time (kinda like the incoming call got hung up on).... Got his voicemail the second time... Told him if he hasn't shipped my lights, that I want them shipped priority to my home in Canada and that he will pay border fees. Also told him to email me back...
    I'm not happy.. I will be recording any phone conversation with him, with my iPhone.

    Then where is my tracking number and why is he being as evasive as always when it comes to replying to emails etc? I hope they've been shipped... They better arrive before Thursday or I won't have them for a couple more months.
