Thanks Brandon for hooking it up. Just came back from the EAS offices and Brandon installed them in about 15 minutes. Worth $300 and looks great. Will post pics shortly.

Well, that makes some sense, however relative brightness and localization are just as important as color temperature. Color temp alone would not explain a light being "invisibile" in background conditions of the same color temperature. I don't think direct sun angled directly into the light assembly is required to show what we all want to see. The comparison photo I requested shot simultaneously with all of the options I listed, in as bright of light as possible still still makes a lot of sense to have. It will be to your benefit much more than mine.

they do look good, but like swamp said I also want to see some more pics in brightly lit areas. Also a pic of what the product is. $300 is a lot of money for an unknown, but would be considered if it really accomplishes the job.

+1

What's so hard about taking a pic of the product itself? You could have done it while installing it on your local customer cars.

thats what I was thinking, they keep saying they are waiting for Tom to return to the country? Take a pic with your phone (assuming someone in your office has a iphone or blackberry) and show us the product..I dont understand why Tom has to return to the country

I have HIDs in my Angel Eyes, and I am not in love with them as they are too bright and aren't the rings arent clearly shown from a distance. I have spent 100s of $$ to get my Angel Eyes right. i am willing to spend $300 more, IF this is the solution to my Angel Eye dilemna. PLEASE post pics of the product, so I can see what I am paying $300 for. Simple request IMO

install is free, however we are completely sold out. We do have another shipment coming soon, so if you would like to be notified when we are shipping again, give me a call directly

Why are you guys only responding to questions like "how much is the install?" or "when will they be available?" ??? Why not answer why you have no product pics?

it's obvious they don't want to show the product
maybe they are worried someone will steal the design
no idea
but if you have such a good product
you should want to display it
and its the same case on all the forums
people ask for a pic, and they same the same reason
doesn't anyone here own a set that we can take pics of?

Product pics will be coming soon, we've been very busy this week on the product release and preparing orders.

Keep subscribed to the thread for updates.

How hard is it to snap a pic and post it? Why's it always coming soon? If these work as marketed I'll probably be buying a set. But something is awfully suspicious about avoiding the product pics.

I've been out of the country for the last 2 weeks and will be returning Monday to get caught up to speed. As busy as we've been during a product release, preparation for Bimmerfest, shipping orders as well as many other things - it's been very hectic.

Kits are completely sold out in the meantime and we're taking names on a notification list in the meantime. Please be patient.
