Glad hes working on them! Thats what happens when you price them at $200. lol I'd be happy to build people sets but it would be $300 plus shipping and I'd have them out in weeks not months... (Kris if you want to subcontract them.. let me know lol) Good luck to those waiting, they are worlds better than stock.

Hey Tom, I ordered mine on Dec 17th, and am order number 1201. (Not sure if that number is total orders for FST, or just for the HID's.) I will let you and the thread know when I get the shipping email. It is good to hear from Kris, and at a minimum it does give a sense of the volume he is having to deal with, 2+ units/day ordered.

Edit: Just looked back and realized CCooper ordered 11/11, and still hasn't received his. Using my 2 units/day estimate, we still may be quite a while. Lol.

I thought you guys would like the info. I have a buddy who used to do retrofits he said it he did a set or two a week but he charged 400 ea and the customer had to supply the headlight he supplied the hid parts. With me working part time and my wife working ft I basically babysit all day then work when she gets home a few days a week I have considered doing retrofits for extra income

How much would you charge? lol. I can't see you being able to do it for that kind of price; especially with Trucklites coming in at sub-400.

I might be interested if it's somewhat reasonable.

I'm not sure what I would charge it's a thought I may build a set for my YJ and decide if it's something I want to get involved it. I would have to get wife's approval first before I spend money on a bunch of parts to build because I prefer my kingsize bed over my couch That and I'd have to buy a vendor membership

Order #1160. Ordered on 11/2. Kris sent me a text that they were shipped on 1/9. No order received. Calling the Better Business Bureau today in Spokane that handles the Yakima area.

Shipping info doesn't mean he shipped them. I received shipping info on 9 January. The USPS tracking # still only shows electronic shipping info received and had not changed since that date. No product, lousy communication. Not a good business model.

the BBB is a joke. Also, waiting 1/9-1/21 isn't unbelievable for shipping...

You should do just that. This is like a payday loan scheme operation. In the end there are going to be a lot of hot potatoes. I've seen it a dozen times and it never ends well. Lets hope this one is the exception to the rule.
