USPS is horrible for tracking, it isn't even in the same universe compared to UPS or Fedex system. I've gotten packages that still hadn't shown up on the USPS tracking site.

This is probably a dumb question, but i just want to make sure. If I buy this kit, there's no chance of using my existing h4 HID bulbs/ballasts is there? I know a h1 is different but im not sure in what way.

The ballasts should be interchangeable but the H4 bulbs will not fit in a H1 projector.

Just placed my order for the non-halo chrome on black. I was tempted to get the bezels painted white to match my XJ, but I thought I might get tired of the look after awhile.

Can't wait to get these installed! I have the Putco harness, Autopal housings, and H4 Philips Silverstar set-up that will most likely be for sale once these come in.

Any luck man?

I can agree to that.

Got home tonight ready to install my lights. No lights to be found. USPS tracking # said scheduled date not estimated date was today. Guess priority 2 day shipping does not mean **** to them.

No nothing yet, I use USPS often for shipping most all of my shipments arrive on time in the 3 days "IF" I ship the day the electronic notice is sent by the PO.

Now now... Dont get angry with usps. When a seller prints a shipping label that's when it says something like electronic information created or something along those lines. He likely printed them to keep track of them, thus sending you a notification that get your hopes up, but he has not yet physically shipped them.

Yeah, I hate that. Sellers on ebay do it all the time. They print a shipping label right away to mark the item as shipped so they can meet the ebay guidelines for prompt shipping. But in reality it means nothing because it isnt really shipped until it gets dropped off at the po. I love it when I buy something on a sunday and get a shipped notification later that day. Those power sellers must have access to super secret po hours.

I can get mad. USPS said the 7th and they didn't deliver.

USPS is by far the most unreliable courier company in the states. They lost a bottle of Kroil on me recently and the seller had to send another one.

UPS / Fedex does so much better in general.

Though years ago, my buddy had his bike stolen by fedex, and it was returned with worn out tires LOL!
