Properly awesome Tom. I've already bought the lens which you are holding. How and when do I pay for the rest of the unit (I'm assuming the lens and unit will all be sealed)? Very excited!

I hope I'll be able to publish final pricing and lead time before July, I will start taking orders at this point.

Yes, RHD and LHD will both be offered

I have a feeling the market is about to be flooded with standard lights. Sell quick while the price is high 😂

TBH i thought you'd started something you weren't going to finish, After all the blood, sweat tears, and time spent cracking result.

 

Got to be one of the best mods to date!

 

Hat off To You Sir.

 

For all you you vx members that like hoarding headlights as a future investment, Sell Up Quick :0), theirs a new kid on the block

Going to hold off on pricing until the markets settle down, however based on early sterling performance the final price could be as much as 10 % higher than planned.

These headlights use components sourced from different parts of the world, exchange rate can significantly impact final cost.

 

The stock markets aren't fully trading yet as some are struggling to price based on the Brexit, some haven't even opened. There hasn't been any planning or timing into the exit so there's bound to be significant uncertainty (and market fluctuation) in exchange rates for at least a week or two.

I think that might be the least popular approach yet.
