    Honestly, a mass production headlight is far down on the list. Because of a few factors;
    1)tooling cost/design would be pretty high (just for comparison, my tail light molds quoted $60k)
    2)morimoto is enetering the game with a complete headlight. I just can’t compete with their speed to market, nor their manufacturing resources.

    Completely understandable!

    I will say though, that your stuff is so much better than theirs. Although I only have their HID kit to compare to, I found that everything of yours, electrical, is much more precise with the connections, solders, heat shrink/protection and such. Not that theirs is bad at all, I think the difference lies in the fact you are a small business and assemble everything by hand.

    I'm basically completely decked out now with every one of your mods except BroPro tail's and 3rd brake light.

    Had no idea tooling molds were that expensive and that's just the beginning. Manufacturing cost, materials, packaging, shipping etc.

    I thank you for the support! I pride myself with quality and innovation. If I can’t do something, I’ll admit it. Although I’ll try my best to make it happen within my abilities.
    Not to mention DOT/SAE approval, comprehensive testing, it goes on. When I step into the big leagues, there is many more variables and risks to consider.

    Well WE hope things go smooth and quick in all aspects of your production of all new items. Can't wait to here what you and your metal fabricator come up with.

    No thanks needed! I am by no means an expert on electrical wiring and connections, but I know quality when I see it.

    I've never been one to have decals and stickers, but with the site and business now, you really ought to consider it! I'd definitely put one on the rear sliding window!

    Now I get a reply after messaging you twice lol
    All good brotha, I don’t want to black out the headlights since that’ll be the only “chrome” I have. I already tinted the taillights to match the 3rd break light.

    I have gone back over 100 pages and am pretty much cross-eyed. I have had the V3 for 10 months and am perfectly happy with them. After going through so many pages I really never read what the big difference is between V3 and V4. Can someone shed some light.

    Minor changes in the housings, but the most drastic change is the internal LED strip. It has been lengthened, and triple the number of lights. See below pic for reference;

    @mesojdm Hey Stew, just noticed that you updated the post from 9/21 to 2nd Batch ETA 9/14. Are you doing it the same way - link will be live at 8am PST?

    Going to try and get me a set of V4's after missing out on the 1st run.

    Looks like some people will get theirs today. Who will be the first to post up an installed pic?
    I’m as excited as you guys to see the fruits of my labor:D


    Yes, I’m shooting for 9/14. I will update here when more are available. Although I would suggest signing up for the “email me when in stock” on the website page.
