I forgot to put in an emoticon so some people would understand when something is exaggerated!

All caps is a bad idea. About the warranty I really don't know. There has only been 3 of us that has ordered so far so until he gets those built there probably will not be any more pic till then. He said 1 - 2 weeks retrofit time. Kris is a good guy he's not goin to screw you over.

You also said something about the DDMs having a lifetime warranty. Good luck getting them to stand behind that. I know that for a fact. There not made to last forever.

Thanks xjMike...I didn't mean anything against Kris, his products, or his company. I really want a set bad just want to make the best informed decision. A lot of guys bash HID's and recommend the Putco harness upgrade with a set of Hella glass lens or Autopal E-codes. I really like the look of the HID especially on Kris's jeep. So basically 1-2 weeks turn around and is it still recommended to upgrade your harness anyway?

Most of the hid bashing is because guys just throw them in a reflector housing and off they go blinding people. To my knowledge Kris's retro fit projector housing kit is a first. Before you had to build your own. As far as the the hd wire harness is concerned I am going to try it without a new harness. The ballast are 35 watt and so are the stock low beams so I would think they should work. I will find out soon.

Plan on ordering the 15th of this month, when bonus pay comes in. Will be doing 6k and Halo headlights. These will surely blow my Putco harness, Autpal and Hella 100w out of the water. Cannot wait. I don't know of to many vendors that come into forums and personally answer each persons question. He is offering a service to us at a very affordable price here gentleman.

It was probably your invoice that was sent to you the next day.

There's a 1-2 week wait for them to be made.

Yea, It had to have been your invoice. We havent shipped any lights yet. Got the parts in, now just need to go through and retrofit and customize all the orders.

This is technically a custom product, so a wait time is definitely expected.

Don't complain about a 2 week wait.
I ordered his long arm kit 9 weeks ago, i just keep being told it's going to ship soon.
Already had to cancel my plans for the end of the month because i doubt ill get the arms anytime soon.

Why dont you go ahead and order 10 or so of these and have 10 sets ready to go? I'm hoping you arent just seeing an order placed then ordering the housings and the retrofit kit. I found where you are getting these exact parts so it will take you about a week to "buy it now" the projector and HID kit and maybe a few days for headlights leaving you a day to retrofit them if you are planning on having them to the customer in 2 weeks. If you are ordering the parts as the orders come in, the customer should expect 3+ weeks for their headlights to be at their doorstep.

It's still a good deal as you arent making very much off these but people will start getting antsy waiting that long.
