10 days with shipping. Three days there. Three back from there. You could always do next day. But at 18# and $3000 of insurance , it would break you up. It would be more than the actual lights.

Meaning 3 weeks for us on the East Coast (usually takes 5 days for me to ship ground to LA). I can't wait to do this, but that's gonna be a loooong 3 weeks!

Looks nice!! Did you paint your housing matted black? It's kind of hard to see as it is bright.

I have my appointment set with Erik for 3/20. I will drop it off and pick up in two or three days. At least I don't worry about lights damage during shipping.

Housings are matte black. Medium smoked the signal area.

Can we get a breakdown of what tekarbon actually does? Can I just use my dremmel and carefully cut the headlight open and add my own AEs and seal it all back up... and it will look the same as what Tekarbon does? Or do they really have some fancy way of baking the headlight open where the reseal is much cleaner?

Secondly, do they do anything to the orange reflectors that I couldn't do with the DIY floating around where I chop up the reflector material with a masonry drill bit? I love doing stuff myself but I'm not exactly sure what they do that I couldn't do given 30 hours of my tedious time.

Plug and play. You have to wire the LEDS to a power source. Easy. Not really too messy. They just make sure they are leak proof. I'm a happy customer.
