Hey I'd be willing to buy a kit depending on cost.

Just an FYI our advertising bill for the months of April. May and June total ~$3000 for our nursery.

The aim point of the 100W is below the high beam, roughly where the low beams peter out... I have driven on just the 100W and haven't had any complaints...

I'w working on it, I have MOST of the supplies, and just got a new Quote from IB for the sponsorship, I am thinking I will give it a test run of 6 months and see what happens... Now all I need is my wife to heal up so I can dedicate more time to what's really important (can you feel the cynicism?).. Keep an eye out, I am also working on a few other ideas... I will make a site, an work on getting it all together ASAP...

Would the interest be for a complete kit including the lights, or just the harness? OR I could offer both... Ala cart...

Has anyone else noticed it seems the suppliers for parts on our cars seem to be trimming down their stock... I used to get everything within a week or less... I have had 3 orders now running into their third week...

I'd be interested in a complete kit with needed install instructions.

I'm still wondering why you polished your wife up? Especially when she wasn't feeling so good...

Nice job by the way.

She has been looking rough since... but the car is just sitting there waiting, wanting, finally quit leaking though (coolant finally drained to below the broken hose..)

HOPEFUL for this weekend, to back in the boost again.. if the weather holds out, and the wife isn't back in the hospital...and, and, and, I love my life....

Is this like the same thing paragon sells as a kit with the 100w and 55w euro foglight kit? And then they also have the e-code low high beam lights as well? Just wondering what the difference there is here.

I started with the Paragon kit, but didn't like the prospect of cutting the factory headlight harness apart and replacing the fuses with larger than original to handle the additional current..

So I made a plug and play harness, all new wires from the switch in dash all the way to the 100W lights, the 55W fogs work off the factory harness, and the original fuse.. The 100W euro fogs activate off the high beam momentary flash, or the dash switch with the parking lights on... Once ready for release the harness will be totally plug and play, no cutting or splicing required, using factory style connections where possible and necessary.
